[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 47, Volume 1] [Revised as of October 1, 2005] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 47CFR15.107] [Page 781-782] TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION PART 15_RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents Subpart B_Unintentional Radiators Sec. 15.107 Conducted limits. (a) Except for Class A digital devices, for equipment that is designed to be connected to the public utility (AC) power line, the radio frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line on any frequency or frequencies within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not exceed the limits in the following table, as measured using a 50 [mu]H/ 50 ohms line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the band edges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conducted limit (dB[mu]V) Frequency of emission (MHz) ---------------------------------------- Quasi-peak Average ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0.15-0.5....................... 66 to 56*.......... 56 to 46* 0.5-5.......................... 56................. 46 5-30........................... 60................. 50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Decreases with the logarithm of the frequency. (b) For a Class A digital device that is designed to be connected to the public utility (AC) power line, the radio frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line on any frequency or frequencies within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not exceed the limits in the following table, as measured using a 50 [mu]H/50 ohms LISN. Compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the boundary between the frequency ranges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conducted limit (dB[mu]V) Frequency of emission (MHz) ---------------------------------------- Quasi-peak Average ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0.15-0.5....................... 79................. 66 0.5-30......................... 73................. 60 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (c) The limits shown in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section shall not [[Page 782]] apply to carrier current systems operating as unintentional radiators on frequencies below 30 MHz. In lieu thereof, these carrier current systems shall be subject to the following standards: (1) For carrier current systems containing their fundamental emission within the frequency band 535-1705 kHz and intended to be received using a standard AM broadcast receiver: no limit on conducted emissions. (2) For all other carrier current systems: 1000 [mu]V within the frequency band 535-1705 kHz, as measured using a 50 [mu]H/50 ohms LISN. (3) Carrier current systems operating below 30 MHz are also subject to the radiated emission limits in Sec. 15.109(e). (d) Measurements to demonstrate compliance with the conducted limits are not required for devices which only employ battery power for operation and which do not operate from the AC power lines or contain provisions for operation while connected to the AC power lines. Devices that include, or make provision for, the use of battery chargers which permit operating while charging, AC adaptors or battery eliminators or that connect to the AC power lines indirectly, obtaining their power through another device which is connected to the AC power lines, shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the conducted limits.
