You can get the standard through Bell Labs, Global engineering documents may also have it. Its long and arduous. It extends the FCC limits down to 10 Khz or so and up to 10 GHz, You may be required to do some radiated emissions testing in this range as well as conducted emissions. The where the FCC has limits they are pretty much the same for the 1089 tests. They rise above and below this points, but I haven't got the figures in front of me. They required susceptability requirements for surge, and ESD etc that sort of match the Heavy industrial standards for Europe. There is a heck of lot more to it than this - this is just a ballpark figure. I would certainly recommend that you get at least that standard and spend a grunch of time looking it over before you make a guess at whether the supply will meet or not. I would also ask the client why he wants these tests. If it is going into end use equipment that is going into a telephone company premises the end client may have other questions for you like earthquake protection and fire protection. For the earthquake stuff heavy things like power supplies are at risk - they like to keep moving after the shaker has tried to change directions. You may even have to physically burn the power supply to observe the flame and smoke production during and after the application of flame. Typically requiring flame classifications of 94v0 and better or components with an oxegen index greater than 25 (I think). If it is fixed equipment the flame rating could even go to UL94-5V. So lots to think about. Gary

They have a potential customer who asked if a particular power supply could meet Bellcore GR1089. Neither the factory or I are familiar with this standard. Does anyone know what it refers to and/or where I can get a copy of this standard? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Fred Waechter Sr. Applications Engr.
