The sentence in -1 has been misinterpreted, probably by someone whose first language is not English, and no-one has noticed. The wrong interpretation is the one obtained by applying strict logic to the sentence, without a realization that the result is technically improbable. The matter should be referred back to IEC SC62A so that the error can be corrected. The sentence would not, I think, be capable of that misinterpretation if it were written: A compression bushing shall not be used as a cord anchorage unless the bushing has been designed to terminate a screened MAINS supply cord or it has provision for clamping all types and sizes of MAINS supply cords which meet the requirements of 6.10.1 and are suitable for connection to the TERMINALS provided. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
