7.1.
7.1.1. General
Calibration measurements shall be performed as indicated in Table 9 of IEC 61000-4-5 Ed3.0 at the CDN rated
impulse voltage. The peak amplitude, the front time and duration shall be measured at the EUT output port.
7.1.2. Calibration procedure for CDNs for symmetrical interconnection lines
The inputs of the DN at the auxiliary equipment (AE) shall be short-circuited to PE for the voltage and current
measurements at the EUT output port.
The residual voltage value depends on the protection requirements of the AE. Therefore, no limits are given in
this standard.
It is recommended that the open-circuit voltage between wires of different pairs is also measured. A differential
voltage between pairs can produce false failures in EUTs that are designed to operate in highly balanced net-
works. No limit has been proposed for this value as the tolerance is dependent upon the design of the EUT.

A 40 Ω path means that the transfer impedance is always 40 Ω. This means that for coupling to 1 pair 80 Ω
*
per line or 40 Ω per pair are used, for coupling to 2 pairs 160 Ω per line or 80 Ω per pair are used, for cou-
pling to 4 pairs 320 Ω per line or 160 Ω per pair are used.
