John, I read that, but I still see how it has anything to do specifically with the word "hazardous". It appears that part of the standard in the poster's question is simply the only place in the standard where "continuous" is used in conjunction with DC voltage.
I'm sure we could dissect this to no end. Perhaps the word "continuous" is used in the standard to reinforce the idea of "uninterrupted". In other words, if we define a "discontinuous" DC voltage as being switched to zero or through zero (for example from a positive potential to a negative potential, then a "continuous" DC voltage is simply one that is not. - Doug ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
