I read in !emc-pstc that Kevin Richardson <kevin.richard...@ieee.org> wrote (in <nebbihdflagbliikmlbkkebkdlaa.kevin.richard...@ieee.org>) about 'CE Compliance of Professional Lighting Dimmer Box' on Wed, 4 Sep 2002: >For safety, someone has suggested the following may apply but I am a bit >dubious about some of them: >- EN 60065 (I do not believe applicable)
No; it was never intended to apply to high-power equipment and the characteristics of high-power equipment were not taken into account when it was written. >- EN 60439-1 & -3 (are these correct or are there more appropriate stds) Par 3 is not applicable: it applies to what we call 'consumer units' in Britain; I've temporarily forgotten the US term. >- EN 60950 (I do not believe applicable) You should apply this, *as far as possible* to any built-in data processing boards. IEC 60439-1 doesn't deal with boards adequately. > >For EMC, can anyone please confirm if the following do not apply or if any >others apply? >- EN 55015 (emissions etc) >- EN 61000-3-2 (harmonics - I understand no conducted harmonic current >emission limits apply to professional dimmers) Correct. >- EN 61000-3-3 (voltage fluctuations and flicker) >- EN 61000-3-11 (voltage fluctuations and flicker) 61000-3-11 applies if you have two or more 10 A dimmers. >- EN 61000-6-1 (immunity - supersedes EN 50082-1) Yes, that should be OK. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
