Kris, If you have an electronic copy of the standard, do a search on IT and determine if the clause is applicable. For instance, if you do so with IEC 60950-1, 2nd Edition, you will hit on 1.5.8, concerning components connected between line and earth. Not applicable. Next is a installation

Mr Woodgate, I have noted a CTL decision for IEC 60335-1 that seems to indicate that CECC 42200 certification is also acceptable. Also applicable to 60950-1 ? Also, I am looking a the spec sheets for several IEC 61051-x certified MOVs and have noted that the rated voltages do not seem to

The time to repair an earthed IT system is quite short compared to the time for long-term creepage distance deterioration. This may be so but I have no experience. I imagine almost no one in the US has even seen an IT system. My only encounter was in a hospital surgery suite. What is the

Mr. Nute, Would your assertion apply to both Class I and Class II construction ? I am certain that you can see where I am going with this question... A related question. I have tended to discourage Class I construction for power sources that would be attached to an IT power system. Is this not

Hi Bob: Thanks for your thoughtful response. You said: The working voltage increase would tend to approximately double creepage distances, but again these are mains to earth distances, not mains to mains. This can impact designs though. Creepage distance requirements are based on

Gregory, There shouldn't be any problem with what you want to do. This is a business-to-business transaction that does not constitute 'placing on the market'. Consequently, CE marking is not required on the product, and if it is subsequently exported from the EU as part of a system, then CE
