Gert,

With all due respect to the seriousness of your question, I could not help
but
have this Far Side cartoon image of a group of cows with pocket protectors

operating safety test equipment (standing up), one of them saying another 
something like, Bob, we'll need to have a warning put on this fence, the 
touch current is too high.

My most humble apologies,

hello Group,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a standard or
technical report concerning safe voltage limits for farm animals
especially cows.
The beasts will be in touch on a regular basis with a DC voltage
used to charge a fence pulse generator.

I know the cows are being pulsed using 10 kV when touching the fence,
but a DC voltage may be different.
Thanks in advance.

FW: Compliance of a USB telephone

Subject:  RE: Compliance of a USB telephone

Sorry for my late reply.
For applying the RTTE directive, the intended use is the crux.  I wander or
it is possible nowadays - if computers are connected to the internet- , to
deny that it is not intended for communication using the internet;   for
example using Voice over IP!
I would say that every computer (and connected equipment), that can
communicate to the internet is falling under the scope of the RTTE.
Consider for yourself what is stated in the RTTE directive:
telecommunications terminal equipment means a product enabling
communication or a relevant component thereof which is intended to be
connected directly or indirectly by any means whatsoever to interfaces of
public telecommunications networks (that is to say, telecommunications
networks used wholly or partly for the provision of publicly available
telecommunications services);
Only when it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach a public network, the RTTE is not
applicable.
The consequence for the USB telephone is that there are no restrictions on
the power voltage (as stated in the LVD), so the telephone must fully comply
with all the requirements as mentioned in the safety directive(for example
acoustical shock)

Best regards,
Theo Hildering
KTL

Subject:RE: Compliance of a USB telephone


Let me see if I understand this product. It is a telephone like device that
is solely intended to be connected to the USB port of a PC and it is not
intended to be connected to the telephone network.
If this is true, then no telephone standards, regulations or directives
apply. Only the EMC directive applies in the EU. The RTTE directive does not
apply since the device is not intended to be connected to the telephone
network. The LVD does not apply since the source voltage is too low.
Compliance with safety requirements of EN60950 is sufficient to show due
diligence for the Liability Directive and General Product Safety Directive.


  Dear Group
 
  We are testing an PC telephone unit!
 
  It is a telephone terminal unit that connects to the USB port of
the PC from
  which it receives power. There is no other connection, just the
USB.
 
  Clearly this unit must comply with EMC requirements. Safety
requirements are
  not mandatory but clearly they are recommended to be performed
for
UL1950
  for the US and EN60950 for Europe.
 
  Two questions:
 
  1) What about Part 68 in the US? Since unit is not directly
connected to the
  PSTN officially it is exempt from the standard. (Acoustics tests
are covered
  under UL1950)
 
  2) What about RTTE directive in Europe? There is no standard you
can test
  for. All of TBR 21 tests are not applicable.
 
  Thanks

E3 grounding

2000-11-10 Thread Dave Wilson

Hello group,

Can anyone advise on how the grounding of the Rx side should be handled to
satisfy Europe? The UK used to require the option of grounding or not, but
I'm not sure if this is still a requirement, or about requirements in other
parts of Europe.

Thanks,

Dave Wilson

RE: safe voltage limits for cattle ( cows horses etc)

2000-11-10 Thread Crabb, John

Try EN 61011, Electric fence energizers.
Safety requirements for mains-operated electric fence energizers.

EN 61011-1 Safety requirements for battery-operated electric
fence energizers suitable for connection to the supply mains.

EN61011-2 Safety requirements for battery-operated electric
fence energizers not for connection to the supply mains.

Not surprisingly, I don't have copies of these, so I don't know
if they will contain the required information.

Acoustic measurement in EN55024.

2000-11-10 Thread Tommy

Hi folk.

As you konw,EN55024's dow is 2001.07.01.

Many test item add than Generic Std. EN50082-1.

So I prepare the test equipment and set-up.

But I have no idea about acoustic measurement of TTE on EN55024 Annex A.

Did you have configured test equipment of acoustic measutement?

Which equipment is used or recommand? Model and manufacture.

And Could you send acouse measurement test set-up daigram or photo?

I should appreciate hearing from you.

Best regards.

Tommy

CSA C22.3 #42-99

2000-11-10 Thread rbusche

I had a question posed to me by a fellow engineer with regard to the design
of an electrical outlet to be used in ITE equipment. He is following the
requirements identified in CSA standard C22.2  #42-99 where each pole and
ground pin is individually subjected to a weighted pullout test. The
question was whether or not this is also part of the equivalent UL
requirements for electrical outlets. An engineer from a reputable power cord
manufacturer told him that UL did not require this test.  Unfortunately I
have no expertise with either standard and could not help. Could someone let
me know what the equivalent UL standard is and whether this is a true
statement.

If someone could contact me off line I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance...
