Dear Regulatory Experts, I'm searching for a standard or guideline which will provide detailed information about the internal grounding and bonding of products, and I've had limited luck in finding anything suiting my purpose. Reviewing a few CSA and UL standards hasn't been helpful.
Specifically, I am interested in Class I plug and cord connected products, which require the internal grounding wire to be secured to a metal, non-current carrying enclosure. I need to know what kinds of screw/nut/washer combinations are acceptable, mainly from a North American viewpoint, but not excluding Europe.(As usual, I'm working with small industrial-type battery chargers drawing less than 12A at 120V, 6A at 240V). I'm particularly interested in requirements/acceptability of thread-cutting or -forming screws, with or without locking washers. I'm wondering about their securement performance over time. The standards I've reviewed so far seem to be very non-specific about requirements, while specifying some testing. Are there any documents out there that are more detailed? Thanks in Advance, Brian C. Brian Ceresney, CTech.
