Re: Conducted emission testing for FCC & CE.

Mr. Richmond makes an excellent point. A well-designed EMI control process would levy some kind of derivative CE limit on the peripheral device that operates off a PC's secondary supplies, and it would levy some kind of secondary-to-primary isolation requirement on any FCC/CE stamped power supply,

2005-10-07 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
I know this has been addressed before, but I am requesting a sanity check. As of 1 August of this year, is it "wrong" to apply the 1998 version of EN 55022 under the EU's EMC Directive without also applying its Amendment 1:2000? According to the dates published in the OJ, that seems to be the case.

Kim, I would guess that your 385 Vdc is the output of a power factor correction module. These do not usually provide any galvanic isolation (as you state), so the 385 V is with respect to the mains input. We generally consider this part of a circuit to be a "primary circuit" or "circuit derived fr

Hi all In EN 61010-1 the creepage and clearance in table 4 is based on a "Voltage line to neutral". Is this a working voltage or is it just the mains supply ? The reason I ask is that I'm involved in a switch mode PSU which have a 385 Vdc at the primary of the switch transformer. The 385 Vdc is g
