This SAE Recommended Practice specifies measurement procedures and performance levels for magnetic and electric field emissions and conducted power mains emissions over the frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz, for vehicles incorporating electric propulsion systems, e.g., battery, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
Conducted emission measurements in this document are applicable only to battery-charging systems which utilize a switching frequency above 9 kHz, are mounted on the vehicle, and whose power is transferred by metallic conductors. Conducted emission requirements apply only during charging of the batteries from AC power lines.
Conducted and radiated emissions measurements of battery-charging systems that use an induction power coupling device are not covered by this document.
The measurement of electromagnetic disturbances for frequencies from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz is covered in CISPR 12.
Rationale
This revision of SAE J551 includes numerous technical changes. The conducted limits are re-aligned with current FCC limits, and the radiated emission limits now begin at 150 kHz, corresponding to the CISPR/D decision regarding frequency coverage in CISPR 25. Limit scaling in the near field (Appendix A) now utilizes the 60dB/decade distance relationship due to measurement of both E and H fields, but the vertical H field measurement is deleted due to its typically low magnitude, poor far field radiation efficiency, and lack of receiving systems using this field component. In recognition of the changing nature of electric vehicles (which primarily utilized DC brush motors when the limits were proposed in 1983), the scope has been expanded and ANSI C63.12 limits with average detection are added, while the impulsive bandwidth normalization has been removed from the expression of fields and limits. The emission maximizing procedure has been updated based on experience acquired since the initial procedure was developed.
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standards Committee reports to the Electrical Systems Group of the Motor Vehicle Council. The Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to all aspects of EMC as it applies to surface vehicles and their components regardless of propulsion method or electrical system voltage. Phenomena addressed include radio frequency emissions, radio frequency immunity, electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity, and transient voltage emission and immunity. The Electromagnetic Immunity (EMI) Task Force and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Task Force have been developed under the committee's scope. Participants in the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standards Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and other interested parties.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
