IEC 60938-2:2006 is applicable to fixed inductors designed for electromagnetic interference suppression that are included within the framework of the generic specification IEC 60938-1. It is specifically limited to fixed inductors that are subject to appropriate safety testing. This means that inductors specified under this standard will either be connected to mains supplies, necessitating compliance with the mandatory tests outlined in Table 1, or utilized in other circuit positions where the equipment specifications require some or all of these safety tests. The standard is relevant for fixed inductors that will be connected to an alternating current (a.c.) mains or other power sources with a nominal voltage not exceeding 1,000 V a.c. (r.m.s.) or d.c. between conductors, and a nominal frequency not exceeding 400 Hz.
