This subject should be studied by the TC108 team preparing the standard that will replace IEC 60950 and IEC 60065. However, at this time, there seems to be no specialist team assigned to studying the subject of realistic fault simulation. There is a meeting of the team next month. Maybe this subject should be discussed. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
