Flicker test (EN61000-3-3) for power stapler

2004-11-29 Thread owner-emc-p...@listserv.ieee.org
Dear all, Do anyone has experienced on the captioned testing?? As I have a power stapler that has failed the inrush current (manually switching operation) and dmax requirement (7%). But, I have read the manual other stapler in the market and it stated it complies with EN61000-3-3 requirement. Hop

This is going off on a bit of a tangent to your question, but . . . if you are remembering an account of a child playing with a hairpin (or other moderately flexible piece of metal) and a live electrical socket and getting injured, the injury may have been a burn injury and not a shock injury. If

I haven't had any experience with electrical shock in USA, but in India where the supply voltage is 240 Volts, I have experienced mild to severe shock even when touching the live wire with one hand. It can be deadly if one happens to touch both terminals with the same hand. In fact I narrowly es

Ian, I've seen a final-draft of ammendment 1 to edition 2, which adds annex F. Annex F covers the testing of large EUTs, where floor mounted CDNs are not practical on cables that enter the EUT at some distance above the floor. An alternate test method is provided, allowing either a raised or ve

Some people do, some people don't feel slight shocks. I can feel 18 V But really feel the 60 Vac centertap of an ungrounded computer. Assume the other path is capacitance since I was insulated elsewhere from ground. Just drag your knuckles along the metal and you'll feel it. - Rober

There is the body capacitance of about 100 pF having a reactance of 27 M at 60 Hz. Connected to a 120 VAC source there will be 4.5 uA RMS current. Not much. If contact is made at the peak of the waveform (170 V) there will be charging current essentially identical to a 170 volt ESD event. The peak

All Apparently there is an amendment to IEC 61000-4-6. http://domino.iec.ch/preview/info_iec61000-4-6{ed2.1}b.pdf. Does anyone have details of the changes incorporated into this new version? Ian Gordon BOC Edwards *** This email

While I don't usually use that standard, let me say some thoughts on this. 1) That's the difficult part. If your interface allow a longer cable, you can use an additional section of shielded cable (maybe some 20-30 m, or more) in series of the unshielded cable, and utilize the capacitive coupling

Hello all, EN 61000-6-3:2001 (generic emission standard) includes requirements for conducted emission for "signal, control, d.c. power input, d.c. power output and other". The standard uses CISPR 22 as the basic standard here, and it says "Current probe measurement with line terminated to referenc
