IEC 60146-1-1:2024 specifies the requirements for the performance of all semiconductor power converters and semiconductor power switches using controllable and/or non-controllable electronic valve devices. It is primarily intended to specify the basic requirements for converters in general and the requirements applicable to line commutated converters for conversion of AC power to DC power or vice versa. Parts of this document are also applicable to other types of electronic power converter provided that they do not have their own product standards. This fifth edition introduces four main changes: a) re-edition of the whole standard according to the current directives; b) deletion of safety-related descriptions considering coordination with IEC 62477 series; c) changes of calculation methods of inductive voltage regulation; d) changes considering coordination with IEC 61378 series.
