Sec. 15.107 Conducted limits.
(a) Except for Class A digital devices, for equipment that is designed
to be connected to the public utility (AC) power line, the radio
frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line on any
frequency or frequencies within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not
exceed the limits in the following table, as measured using a 50 µH/50
ohms line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the
radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the
power terminal. The lower limit applies at the band edges.

*Decreases with the logarithm of the frequency.
(b) For a Class A digital device that is designed to be connected to
the public utility (AC) power line, the radio frequency voltage that
is conducted back onto the AC power line on any frequency or
frequencies within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not exceed the
limits in the following table, as measured using a 50 µH/50 ohms LISN.
Compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the
measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line and
ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the boundary
between the frequency ranges.

(c) The limits shown in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section shall
not apply to carrier current systems operating as unintentional
radiators on frequencies below 30 MHz. In lieu thereof, these carrier
current systems shall be subject to the following standards:
(1) For carrier current systems containing their fundamental emission
within the frequency band 535-1705 kHz and intended to be received
using a standard AM broadcast receiver: no limit on conducted
emissions.
(2) For all other carrier current systems: 1000 µV within the
frequency band 535-1705 kHz, as measured using a 50 µH/50 ohms LISN.
(3) Carrier current systems operating below 30 MHz are also subject to
the radiated emission limits in Sec. 15.109(e).
(d) Measurements to demonstrate compliance with the conducted limits
are not required for devices which only employ battery power for
operation and which do not operate from the AC power lines or contain
provisions for operation while connected to the AC power lines.
Devices that include, or make provision for, the use of battery
chargers which permit operating while charging, AC adaptors or battery
eliminators or that connect to the AC power lines indirectly,
obtaining their power through another device which is connected to the
AC power lines, shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the
conducted limits.
