4.1.1.1 The limits in columns 2 and 3 shall be met on the phase(s) and the neutral of the
mains terminals of all appliances except those of electric tools.
4.1.1.2 On additional terminals of appliances as well as on load and additional terminals of
regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices the relaxed limits given for "additional
terminals" in columns 4 and 5 apply.
Terminals which may be used as either mains terminals or load/additional terminals are
subject to the limits for mains terminals.
No terminal voltage limits apply for leads, which are not easily extensible by the user
(permanently connected, or provided with a specific connector), which are shorter than 2 m,
and which connect the equipment with an auxiliary apparatus or device, (e.g. semiconductor
speed controls, power plugs with AC-DC converters).
No terminal voltage limits apply to leads integrated in the suction hose of vacuum cleaners,
even if the length exceeds 2 m.
NOTE For the measurement at the load terminals and additional terminals of regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices see 5.2.4, for additional terminals of other appliances see 5.2.3.
4.1.1.3 For the mains terminals of electric tools the particular limits given in columns 6 to 11
apply according to the rated power of the motor, the power of any heating device is to be
excluded (for instance heating power in a blower for plastic welding). For the load terminals
and additional terminals of electric tools, columns 4 and 5 apply without further relaxation.
4.1.1.4 Limits for electric fence energizers apply to
a) the fence terminals on all energizers (columns 4 and 5 of Table 1);
b) the mains terminals on energizers designed for connection to the mains (columns 2 and 3
of Table 1);
c) the battery terminals on energizers designed for operation from a battery (columns 4 and
5 of Table 1).
However, no limits apply to the battery terminals of energizers with built-in batteries which
cannot be connected to the mains supply, or energizers with external batteries if the
connecting lead between the energizer and the battery is shorter than 2 m and is not
applicable of being easily extended by the user without special tools.
Type D energizers, according to IEC 60335-2-76, are measured as battery operated
energizers with connecting leads between the energizer and the battery greater than 2 m in
length.
NOTE In practice, the fence wire can also act as an active source of disturbances, due to the high-voltage discharges, in particular to radio and telecommunication networks. Manufacturers of electric fence energizers should instruct the users to eliminate discharge points such as touching vegetation or a broken fence wire.
4.1.1.5 For battery operated appliances (with built-in batteries, as well as with external
batteries) which can be connected to the mains the limits of columns 2 and 3 of Table 1 apply
to the mains terminals.
No radio disturbance limits apply to appliances with built-in batteries, which cannot be
connected to the mains supply.
No radio disturbance limits apply to appliances with external batteries, if the connecting lead
between appliance and battery is shorter than 2 m. If the connecting lead is longer than 2 m
or easily extendable by the user without special tools, then the limits of columns 4 and 5 of
Table 1 apply to these leads.
