My message was a reply to a question regarding the 3rd Edition, bi-national
standard.  So the reference, of course, is to UL 1950 3rd Edition, bi-national
standard.  UL 1950-89 is neither 3rd Edition nor a bi-national standard.
:-)
By the way, the same wording (missing the words "Note 1" can also be found in
the same sub-clause, in your copy of the U.S. 1989 edition:  "For production
test purposes ... "

In fact, the same wording can be found in all editions of all nationalized
versions of IEC 950.  (Maybe I should put on my flack jacket; somebody is bound
to correct me on this and tell us that there is a Country Deviation for Lower
Slobovia)

Janos,

Try using the BI-NATIONAL (CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950) of July 28, 1995, page 
124.
Note 1 is below the 2nd paragraph, and is verbatim of IEC 950:1995, Amend. 3, 
page 207.

Could you please tell me which version of UL1950 did you refer to. In
a 1989 edition section 5.3.2 has no Note 1.  Section 1.4.2 states

  RE>>Routine Hipot testing5/6/96

Be aware that when doing manufacturing floor testing, the 1 second test is for 
levels 20% higher (AC or DC).  IEC 950 also states 3000VAC + 20% for 
re-inforced. ( 1sec)

Egon,
You may have a point.
However, Note 1 of UL 1950 ed. 3, cl. 5.3.2  merely reads:  "For production 
test purposes, it is permitted to reduce the duration of the electric strength 
test to 1 s.  Alternative methods of production test are under consideration."  
The above sub-clause note, in no way details manufacturing and production test 
requirements, unlike UL 1459 (cl.6.3).
Hence, there is much implied in the above note while not much is stated 
regarding production testing requirements.  This is likely due to the complete 
reliance of such requirements being stated in the report as opposed to being a 
specified standard requirement.

EU Language update

1996-05-06 Thread Peter E. Perkins

PSNet

EU Press Release ~~

Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC (now
officially the European Union, or EU), the European Parliament has
commissioned a feasability study in ways of improving efficiency in
communications between Government departments.

European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is
unnecessary difficult; for example: cough, plough, rough, through and
thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes to
iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, be
administered by a committee staff at top level by participating
nations.

In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's'
instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities would
resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced by 'k'
sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this klear up
konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters kould be
made with one less letter.

There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it was
anounsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'.
This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty persent shorter in print.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
possible. Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters
which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.

We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is
disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and writ
as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years sins
the skem began and peopl would be reseptiv to steps sutsh as replasing
'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w' kould be taken on by 'v',
vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o'
kould be dropd from words kontaining 'ou'. Similar arguments vud of
kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a relisensibl
