For a clear, general approach, I'd like to see the generics used for all electronic products where it makes sense to do so. For instance, why would a DC power supply need a family-specific EMC standard?
I'd also like to see a generic standard for product safety for most electrical and electronic equipment, preferably one based on a IEC standard which could be adopted by CSA and UL.. In my opinion, there has been an unreasonable proliferation of product safety and EMC standards over the years. _______________________________________ _____________________________________________ Ralph McDiarmid | Schneider Electric | Renewable Energies Business | CANADA | Compliance Engineer From: John Woodgate <j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk> To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: 03/24/2010 05:10 AM Subject: Re: [PSES] Electrical Power Generating Plants ________________________________ In message <26787621DE18DA4EA18F8B4A1884ADAD054BF35D@EXMBX01.iconnect.world>, dated Wed, 24 Mar 2010, "Ian White (UK)" <ian.wh...@uk.spiraxsarco.com> writes: >From a EMC environment point of view how would you classify Electrical >Power Generating Stations. > >Would they fit under the generic umbrella of Heavy Industrial or would >they have there own specialised category ? There is IEC TS 61000-6-5. I suppose that for emissions, IEC/EN 61000-6-4 applies if no product (family) standard exists. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
