GOST 13109-97 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 13109-97 — "Electric energy. Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment. Power quality limits in public electrical systems" (Russian: "Электрическая энергия. Совместимость технических средств электромагнитная. Нормы качества электрической энергии в системах электроснабжения общего назначения").

Abstract

National standard that defined quantitative indicators, normative limits and measurement/averaging rules for parameters of electric power quality in public supply systems (voltage magnitude and deviation, frequency deviation, flicker, harmonics and interharmonics, unbalance, voltage dips/swells and interruptions, transient overvoltages and related reporting periods). The document served as the primary reference in Russia (and some CIS countries) for assessing and specifying power quality prior to later revisions.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (ceased in national use when replaced by later standards).
• Publication date: Designation year 1997 (GOST 13109-97); published/issued in official print editions around 1998–1999 (commonly cited publication date 01 January 1999).
• Publisher: Gosstandart / national standards body of the Russian Federation (national GOST publication, Moscow).
• ICS / categories: Electrotechnical fields (commonly classified under electrical engineering / EMC categories; related ICS groups used in regional catalogs include 29.020 and 33.100).
• Edition / version: GOST 13109-97 (single national edition referenced as the 1997 designation).
• Number of pages: Typically cited as ~31 pages in standard print listings (some commercial catalogs list 31–35 pages depending on format).

Scope

Applies to alternating current public power supply systems of general purpose (single‑phase and three‑phase, nominally 50 Hz) and specifies the set of power quality indicators, their normative (permissible) values, averaging/integration times, and reporting periods for monitoring and contractual use at points of supply. The standard was intended for network operators, equipment manufacturers, testing laboratories and parties to supply agreements.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and normative limits for steady-state voltage deviation (normal and extreme bands) and rules for time averaging.
• Frequency deviation limits and short-term/long-term deviation classifications.
• Flicker (short-term and long-term) and associated dose/threshold metrics.
• Harmonic and interharmonic voltage limits, distortion indices and measurement integration times.
• Voltage unbalance (positive, negative and zero-sequence limits) and associated measurement methods.
• Classification and reporting of voltage dips (sags), swells, interruptions and transient overvoltages.
• Requirements for measurement points, averaging/integration intervals and preparation of test/monitoring reports.

Typical use and users

Used by power utilities and network operators to set or check supply quality, by manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment for EMC and immunity considerations, by test laboratories and instrument manufacturers (power-quality meters) to calibrate and validate measurement procedures, and by consultants and researchers performing energy audits and power‑quality assessments.

Related standards

Predecessors and related national documents: earlier versions GOST 13109-67 and GOST 13109-87. Successor and replacement standards: GOST R 54149-2010 (introduced to replace GOST 13109-97; effective implementation from 01.01.2013), and later alignment by GOST 32144-2013 which reflects EN 50160 provisions. Also related to measurement-method standards in the IEC/EN/ GOST 61000 series (for example measurement methods in IEC 61000‑4‑30 / national equivalents).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 13109-97 is a Russian national standard that defined norms (numerical limits), definitions and reporting rules for power quality indicators in public electrical supply systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers magnitude and allowable deviations of supply voltage and frequency, flicker, harmonic and interharmonic distortion, voltage unbalance, classification of dips/sags and interruptions, transient overvoltages, measurement integration/averaging times and requirements for monitoring and reporting.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Electric utilities and distribution system operators, equipment manufacturers, EMC and power‑quality test laboratories, energy auditors, consultants and regulators responsible for setting or enforcing supply‑quality requirements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Superseded. GOST 13109-97 was superseded by a newer national standard GOST R 54149-2010 (introduced with effect around 01 January 2013), and national practice was later aligned further with documents such as GOST 32144-2013 (which reflects EN 50160). As a result, GOST 13109-97 is listed as withdrawn/not in current force for new regulatory use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it formed part of the family of standards and normative documents on power‑quality and electromagnetic compatibility in Russia (earlier editions in 1967/1987/1997) and is associated with measurement method standards (IEC/EN/ GOST equivalents such as those derived from IEC 61000 series).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Power quality, voltage deviation, frequency, flicker, harmonics, interharmonics, voltage unbalance, dips/sags, interruptions, EMC.
