Hi all,

There's also another question that I would like to clarify. There is a
statement in CISPR 11 (2016) - quoted text below:

"6.2.1 Limits for conducted disturbances
6.2.1.1 General
......
The limits for the LV d.c. power port specified hereafter apply only to
grid connected power convertors (GCPCs) intended for assembly into
photovoltaic power generating systems."

So, it seems that this dc-power CE with 150 Ω  Delta-network would not
apply to medical devices (60601-1-2) and lab equipment (61326-1) unless
they are dc-fed through a photovoltaic power generating system?

Anyway, I still find the CISPR11 (2016) a bit ambiguous, since this
"photovoltaic-only" requirement is not repeated or confirmed later on in
"Table 3 – Limits for conducted disturbances of class A group 1 equipment
measured on a test site (d.c. power port)", except for > 20kVA equipment.
Also, the definition of d.c. power port in sec.3.7:
"port used to connect to a low voltage d.c. power generating system or
energy storage, or to another source/load
Note 1 to entry: Such a system may be for example a photovoltaic or a fuel
cell power generating system, or also a battery." doesn't fully clarify.

So now the question is: is the statement in sec.6.2.1.1 quoted above enough
to exclude anything not powered through photovoltaic power generatic system
from the dc-power conducted emissions with 150 Ω Delta-networks?

Thanks to all who provide feedback!
Paolo
