Hello Scott, Unbelievable! I've read theses standards over and over again and still missed that. Thanks Scott and everyone else who replied, I will sleep well tonight;-)
Kind regards Jacob. From: "Aldous, Scott" <scott.ald...@aei.com> To: <EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Date: 11/01/2012 15:40 Subject: Re: [PSES] Steady State Conditions There is a guideline in EN 60335-2-6, the part 2 for stationary cooking ranges, ovens, hobs and similar appliances. Note 101 under 11.7 indicates: “Steady conditions are considered to be established if the temperature does not rise by more than 1 K in 15 min.” I don’t know if it’s intended to be generally applicable, or if the same guidance is in other 60335 part 2 standards, but it seems as good a guide as any.

If the temperatures measured were within 5 percent of the [temperature limits defined within the standard] the test was continued until two successive 10-min readings indicated constant temperatures.” There was further clarification that if a temperature reading was cycling between two different points, the maximum temperature of each cycle was to be used. If the cycle time was less than 10 minutes, the peaks of cycles greater than 10 minutes apart were to be used for comparison. For cycles lasting longer than 10 minutes, the peaks of three consecutive cycles were to be used. Unfortunately, UL talks in terms of percentages for temperatures. I always hate when UL does this, but I believe that their intention is to indicate percentage in terms of the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Maybe this can help. Best Regards, Steli Steli Loznen, M.Sc., SM-IEEE I.T.L (Product Testing) Ltd.
