My understanding is that if you meet the US (UL) requirements you meet the Canadian requirements (cUL). At least that has been what I've experienced when submitting product under UL 6500 and UL 60950.
David Cereceres Product Safety Engineer Pelco -----Original Message----- From: Amund Westin [mailto:am...@westin-emission.no] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 1:54 PM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: Electrical Safety - Canada In Europe we follow the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the it applies in the range 50-1000VAC and 75-1500VDC. A 27VDC operated product will therefore in Europe, not be within the scope of LVD. One reason for this must be that 27VDC is not assumed to be hazardous voltage. How is it in Canada ? I have been told that electrical safety apply even with DC voltage way below 27V if the rated normal current is above a specified level. So it seems that Canada is not strictly bounded to a voltage limit as in Europe, but rather to the amount of energy with can flow into the 27VDC input terminal. Can anybody confirm this ?
