Temperature Measuring of Magnetic Components
Hello EMC-PSTCers, I wonder if anyone knows of the method of measuring temperature limits on magnetic components. I happen to get involved in this and found that my results are different than the vendors result by as much as 10-15 degrees on measuring on a same magnetic component. Even applying the thermocouple to different location on a coil seems to give you different results. Is there a method that I should be following to measure temperature with thermocouples methods, not change of resistance, on magnetic parts such as transformers, coils, etc.?

Just A Reminder for the Santa Clara PSTC
Santa Clara Product Safety Technical Committee (PSTC), June 23, 1998 Meeting Notice Please mark your calendar and join us for the following meeting, this is our last meeting of our 1997/1998 year. Our next meeting will be on September 22, 1998, to kick-off our 1998/1999 year. List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: June 23, 1998 Time: 7:00 p.m. Topic: Evaluation of Creepages and Clearances in Telecommunications Circuits Speaker: Mr. Peter Tarver Location: Hewlett Packard, 19447 Prunridge Ave. Cupertino CA, Bldg. 48, Oakroom PRESENTATION: Mr. Peter Tarver, will use the UL 1950/CSA 950 BiNational Standard as the primary reference in his evaluation of creepages and clearances in telecommunications circuits. As a natural consequence, all harmonized 950 based standards that include A4 will fall into line with the program. PRESENTER BACKGROUND: Peter earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from CSU Fresno in 1984, joining UL in September of that year. Peter's early work at UL included evaluations of a wide range of transformers, power distribution and circuit protection devices, and household audio equipment. After a stint with plastics and printed wiring boards, Peter began working with telephone equipment and ITE in 1989, quickly becoming the UL Santa Clara Office's Designated Engineer for UL 1459 (the Standard for Telephone Equipment). Peter also was among the original members of the UL 1950 Practical Applications Committee, helped refine UL's requirements for liquid handling systems in ITE and was responsible for training UL's ITE engineers on Clause 6 when introduced with the Second Edition of UL 1950. Joining Nortel late in 1994, Peter has helped acquire and maintain global safety certifications for Nortel products and gaining laboratory accreditations for the Mission Park Homologation Engineering Dept. Peter also has recently accepted an invitation as an attending member of UL's Subject 1950 Industry Advisory Conference. Dinner: If you are interested in joining the speaker for dinner at El Torito's (by Vallco Fashion Park at Wolfe and Hwy 280), it will be at 5:30 p.m. RSVP to Kamran Mohajer.

RE: NRTL Value
George, I can understand your frustration in this situation. What I would suggest is that if the changes that the inspector is requiring is not a safety hazard and is mainly to comply with the intent of the requirements then it is best to try to follow through with these changes. However, you may need to let the NRTL know that you need additional time to make these changes and they will usually honor these types of situations. For example, let your incorrect label to deplete or allow you to change your documentation processes and mechanical drawing through an Engineering Change Order (ECO). I know most NRTLs have no idea how long it usually takes for making changes even to a simple label. For those of you working in a NRTL, I would like to share the following so you may understand George's frustration. In a midsize to a large company, a simple change to a label will require to red mark the existing CAD drawing, approval from the mechanical design engineer so that the change does not impact any thing else. Once you have obtain all of the informal agreements then you need to write an ECO, required if the organization is an ISO 9000 certified, and then formally submit this ECO. An ECO usually requires signature from number of cross functional departments in the organization. I think at one time, couple of years ago someone did an analysis and came up with a rough estimate of $5000 to write and implement an ECO. I personally think $5000 is a very low estimate considering all the paper work, time it takes to generate it, revise and file it. After all the signatures are sought then the design is sent out to the label vendor for camera ready film and final approval, this process alone takes about two weeks. surely, you can rush all this, however, if your rush a project in a NRTL it cost more money. The same thing is true for dealing with outside vendors. Hopefully, this will shed some light for those of you working in a NRTL. George, if the change is significant and it requires considerable amount of money to implement it then I would suggest you contact the project engineer and reason with him/her. Sometimes the engineer has a better insight into a product than a FUS inspector. I would like to add that no engineer that is working for an NRTL is perfect just like you and me are not perfect. Therefore, oversights are made occasionally due to number of reasons. I believe as regulatory engineers we need to make sure that our design complies with the intent/requirements of the standard and consequently we are responsible for the design of a product and not the NRTL. By the way my multiple choice answer to your question is "None of the above". Best regards, Kamran Mohajer, M.Sc.

List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: Tuesday, December 10, 1996, Joint Meeting with the Santa Clara Valley Electromagnetic Compatibility Society Time and Location: Cocktails (5:00 pm) and dinner (5:30 pm) at Chilis, 20060 Stevens Creek Blvd (between DeAnza Blvd and Blainey), Cupertino. Technical meeting at Apple Computers, 4 Infinity Loop, Cupertino, CA at 7:30 pm. Topic/Speaker: "Physics and Testing of ESD" by David Pommerenke, HP. On December 10 the Santa Clara Valley Electromagnetic Compatibility Society will hear a presentation by David Pommerenke, HP, on the topic "Physics and Testing of ESD". David Pommerenke will discuss two important aspects of ESD testing. The first addresses the issue of why air discharge seem to be so unrepeatable, and will cover the dominant variables that contribute to this aspect of ESD including charge and voltage, arc initiation, arc resistance, object impedance, currents, transient fields, and lower rise time limit. Knowing the physical parameters which determine the severeness of ESD the second part of the talk will compare ESD testing with real ESD guided by the following key questions: Is the standard rise time realistic ? What are unintended radiations? How similar are different brand simulators ? David Pommerenke was born April 11, 1962 in Ann Arbor. He received his diploma in Electrical Engineering in 1989 from the Technical University Berlin. He worked at the same university from 1990 until 1996 as research and teaching assistant in EMC and High Voltage. In 1995 he received his Ph.D. on 'Transient Fields of ESD'. Since August 1996 he's been employed as an EMC Engineer for the HP Roseville site responsible for the test an implementation of new EMC methods. Over the past several years he has published 20 papers on system level ESD, the breakdown process, numerical calculation of ESD, high voltage partial discharge detection systems and on project oriented teaching.
