Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7637-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrical
and electronic equipment.
This second edition of ISO 7637-2 cancels and replaces ISO 7637-1:1990 and ISO 7637-2:1990, of which it
constitutes a technical revision. Note that ISO 7637-1:2002 cancelled and replaced ISO 7637-0:1990.
ISO 7637 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — Electrical disturbances from
conduction and coupling:
Part 1: Definitions and general considerations
Part 2: Electrical transient conduction along supply lines only
Part 3: Vehicles with nominal 12 V or 24 V supply voltage — Electrical transient transmission by
capacitive and inductive coupling via lines other than supply lines
This corrected version of ISO 7637-2:2004 incorporates the following corrections.
In Table 4, the value for the parameter tr has been corrected from “( )00,510 − µs” to “( )00,51− µs”.
Some typographical corrections have been made.

Road vehicles — Electrical disturbances from conduction and
coupling —
Part 2:
Electrical transient conduction along supply lines only
1 Scope
This part of ISO 7637 specifies bench tests for testing the compatibility to conducted electrical transients of
equipment installed on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fitted with a 12 V electrical system or
commercial vehicles fitted with a 24 V electrical system — for both injection and the measurement of
transients. Failure mode severity classification for immunity to transients is also given. It is applicable to these
types of road vehicle, independent of the propulsion system (e.g. spark ignition or diesel engine, or electric
motor).
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 7637-1:2002, Road vehicles — Electrical disturbances from conduction and coupling — Part 1:
Definitions and general considerations
ISO 8854:1988, Road vehicles — Alternators with regulators — Test methods and general requirements
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 7637-1 apply.
4 Test procedure
4.1 General
These tests for measuring the transient emission on supply lines and the immunity of devices against such
transients are called “bench tests”, made in the laboratory.
The methods, some of which require the use of the artificial network, will provide comparable results between
laboratories. They will also give the basis for the development of devices and systems, and may be used
during the production phase (see Annex B).
A bench test method for the evaluation of the immunity of a device against supply line transients may be
performed by means of a test pulse generator; this may not cover all types of transients which can occur in a
vehicle. Therefore, the test pulses described in 5.6 are characteristic of typical pulses.

In special cases, it could be necessary to apply additional test pulses. However, some pulses may be omitted
if a device, depending on its function or its connection, is not influenced by comparable transients in the
vehicle. It is the vehicle manufacturer's responsibility to define the test pulses required for a specific device.
Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of ±10 % applies to all variables used.
4.2 Test temperature and test voltage
The ambient temperature during the test shall be (23 ± 5) °C.
The test voltages shall be according to Table 1 unless other values are agreed upon by the users of this part
of ISO 7637, in which case such values shall be documented in test reports.

4.3 Voltage transient emissions test
This subclause specifies a test procedure for evaluating the automotive electrical and electronic components
of the device under test (DUT), considered a potential source of conducted disturbances, for conducted
emissions of transients along the battery-fed or switched supply lines.
Care shall be taken to ensure that the surrounding electromagnetic environment does not interfere with the
measurement set-up.
Voltage transients from the disturbance source, the DUT, are measured using the artificial network to
standardize the impedance loading on the DUT (see 5.1). The disturbance source is connected via the
artificial network to the shunt resistor, Rs (see 5.2), the switch, S (see 5.3), and the power supply (see 5.4), as
shown in Figure 1 a) or b).
All wiring connections between artificial network, switch, and the DUT shall be spaced ( )10050 + mm above the
metal ground plane.
The cable sizes shall be chosen in accordance with the real situation in the vehicle, i.e. the wiring shall be
capable of handling the operating current of the DUT, and as agreed between vehicle manufacturer and
supplier.
If no requirements are specified in the test plan, then the DUT shall be placed on a non-conductive material ( )10050 + mm above the ground plane.
The disturbance voltage shall be measured as close to the DUT terminals as possible [see Figure 1 a) or b],
using a voltage probe (see 5.5.2) and an oscilloscope (see 5.5.1) or waveform acquisition equipment (see
5.5.3).
Repetitive transients shall be measured with the switch S closed. If the transient is caused by a supply
disconnection, measurement shall be started at the moment of opening switch S.
For evaluation and values, see Annex C.

DUT operating conditions of particular interest in the measurements are the turn on, the turn off, and the
exercising of the various operating modes of the DUT. The exact operating conditions of the DUT shall be
specified in the test plan.
The sampling rate and trigger level shall be selected to capture a waveform displaying the complete duration
of the transient, with sufficient resolution to display the highest positive and negative portions of the transient.
Utilising the proper sampling rate and trigger level, the voltage amplitude shall be recorded by actuating the
DUT according to the test plan. Other transient parameters, such as rise time, fall time and transient duration,
may also be recorded. Unless otherwise specified, ten waveform acquisitions are required. Only those
waveforms with the highest positive and negative amplitude (with their associated parameters) shall be
recorded.
The measured transient shall be evaluated according to Annex C. All pertinent information and test results
shall be reported. If required per the test plan, include transient evaluation results with respect to the
performance objective as specified in the test plan.
4.4 Transient immunity test
The test set-up for transient immunity measurements of electrical/ electronic devices shall be as shown in
Figure 2.
For test pulses 3a and 3b, the leads between the terminals of the test pulse generator and the DUT shall be
laid out in a straight parallel line at a height of ( )10050 + mm above the ground plane and shall have a length of
(0,5 ± 0,1) m.
The test pulse generator (see 5.6) is set up to provide the specific pulse polarity, amplitude, duration and
resistance with the DUT and optional resistance Rv disconnected [see Figure 2 a)]. The appropriate values are
selected from Annex A. Next, the DUT is connected to the generator [see Figure 2 b)], while the oscilloscope
is disconnected.
Depending on the real conditions, the function of the DUT may be evaluated during and/or after the
application of the test pulses.
For correct generation of the required test pulses, it may be necessary to switch the power supply on and off.
The switching can be performed by the test pulse generator if the power supply is integral to it.
One way to simulate the waveform of an alternator with centralized load dump suppression (see Figure 12), is
to connect a suppression diode (or diode bridge) across the output terminals of the test pulse generator [see
Figure 2 a) and b]. Since a single diode will generally have part-to-part variation and may not be able to
handle the large alternator currents, the use of a bridge arrangement [an example is shown in Figure 2 c)] is
recommended. The same generator shall be used for test pulses 5a and 5b.
The suppression diodes and the suppressed voltage levels (clamping voltage) used by different car
manufacturers are not standard. The supplier (parts manufacturers) must, therefore, obtain the diode and
clamping voltage specification information from the manufacturer to be able to perform this test. The single
diodes are added to the diode bridge as needed to provide the specified clamping voltage.
