Hi everyone, Is anyone on the list familiar with the work on CISPR 22 and a part of the standard committee? I am looking at CISPR 22 Edition 5 (2005), trying to understand the specific requirements on ISN and CDN for Signal Line Conducted emission, especially the so called Longitudinal

Everyone It is also useful to remember that compliance with the relevant harmonised standard(s) allows the manufacturer to place his product on the market, but the potential customer may have additional, more onerous requirements. These would be a contractual matter between the two. So,

Gary, Your recollection is correct, Telecom centres were indeed Class B in Europe. It took us several years in the ETSI EE4 committee to get it changed to class A and even then it was by the somewhat devious means of removing emission limits from EN300 386 and instead referencing directly to

Same question haunts me – I have a vague recollection that for some odd reason European telecommunications centers were Class B but I can’t find the reference. Maybe the distinction is “telecommunication centers ONLY” So I’m also interested in the answer if some one has it. Thanks Gary

Grace, I agree that trying a demonstrator before you buy is the best approach. One thing that you want to take into consideration besides the compression points that Bob mentioned is the harmonic / distortion requirements mentioned in section 6 of 61000-4-3. The 2006 version of IEC

David, I am quite certain that a 'telecommunications center' is a central office. But, before just assuming that Class A is ok for telecom centers, I'd check with the telecom company to be sure that they don't have a requirement for Class B (I have this gut feel that I've run into that but I
