Maximum number of transient overvoltage events for 95% of the low voltage
customers in Norway
• A possible compatibility level would be the level not exceeded
more than ten times a year by 95% of the customers.
CBEMA Curve
• It was developed by the Computer Business Equipment
Manufacturers Association in the 1970s, as a guideline for the
organization's members in designing their power supplies.
The intent was to derive a curve that can better reflect the
performance of typical single-phase, 120 V, 60 Hz computers and
their peripherals, and other information technology items like fax
machines, copiers and point-of-sales terminals.
ITI curve for susceptibility of 120-V computer equipment.
Compared to the old CBEMA curve, the ITIC curve has an expanded
acceptable power area or operating region for the portions of
ΔV − t plane. Moreover, the instrumentation to check compliance
with the curve appears to be easier to design because of the
simplified way the acceptable region is represented.
