Item Subject: IEC320 and Double insulation
Hans,
If your product is designed to be double insulated (i.e. CLASS II
EQUIPMENT) then why not use an IEC 2 prong receptacle in your product?
Why are your messing around with 3 prong receptacles?
BTW, Amendment 4 has modified the wording in clause 1.2.4.2 for CLASS
II EQUIPMENT: change from "... no provision for protective earthing"
to "...no reliance for protective earthing".
Best regards,
Frank Dominguez

Fellow professionals;
Is there anything in the EN60950 regulations re: LVD that would prevent me
from using a IEC three prong receptacle in my product connected to a
special power cord with only two wires and to a class 0 plug (two prong for
Europe) and the mating IEC 320 connector at the other end? (assume that my
product is designed to be double insulated).
Best Regards
Hans
