Peter, Thanks for your reply. So in summary, ethernet in Environment A (inside w/o overvoltages) would commonly be SELV and ethernet in Environment B (outside w/ overvoltages) would definitely be TNV-1. Also, thanks for the TR 62102 reference, however, is it or will it be in fact actually s

The next chapter… The public law is implemented by means of amendment into existing law (42 USC 6295, 6291, 6292, 6297). The significance is that the law qualifies external power supplies as “consumer” products. Further, the federal law preempts state law as of July 1, 2008. Don 561 912 64

Earthing of generators

2008-04-24 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
I'm looking for some help in identifying some specific requirements for the earthing of small generators (engine driven, say 5 - 10 kVA). For reasons which I'm not entirely clear about, the client wishes to sell a 230V generator with the earth connection made to a mid point on the generator

The steel ball test no longer has much relevance to the vacuum cleaner and may never have had. A product requires a certain robustness to remain safe and tests were selected to evaluate that characteristic. At that point the standards writers look at existing test methods and try to select ones tha

All I need to find a lab that can calibrate a Sunol Sciences JB5 antenna (30 to 5GHz). I need the factors for our in-house verification set up and the antenna has been banged around a lot and recently has been knocked over. Please contact me offline. Regards Dan Anchondo dancho...@vivotech.co

Fw: ITE vs Telecom classifications and impact

Ethernet networks are generally not public communication networks. Most Ethernet networks are private networks. The owner of the network is responsible for controlling what is connected and the R&TTE rules are not needed to provide protection for public equipment. Further Ethernet allows a fairl
