6.7 IEC Flicker
102
Quick Start Manual
Record IEC flicker for three phases on a 230V distribu-
tion board over a period of 5 days.
Measurement
location
3-phase 4-wire 230 V distribution board line (50 Hz)
Application • Check the degree of flicker (Pst, Plt) using the international IEC
procedure.
• Determine the degree of fluctuation in instantaneous flicker value
S(t), which is a measure of perceived instantaneous flickering.
6.7 IEC Flicker
The IEC flicker function is based on international standard IEC61000-
4-15, “Flickermeter - Functional and design specifications”.
Simultaneous measurement of IEC flicker and ∆V10 flicker is not pos-
sible. Select one or the other for measurement.
Other measurements (such as harmonic measurements) can be per-
formed simultaneously with IEC flicker measurement.
Here, we discuss the case in which only a voltage is connected.
