Hi All, Just posted my latest article. This is the first one that includes an embedded video to expand the subject (one of the three I released a few weeks ago before my latest heavy travel schedule). I took about an hour and 20 minutes of video at the recent IEEE EMC Symposium. The videos includ

The North American standard for rating enclosures, NEMA 250, is quite different from IEC 60529. The NEMA ratings are based on the penetration of dust and water under different conditions and do not specify the maximum opening as in the IEC 60529 IP rating. UL 50 uses basically (although not exact

60529 testing is not usually a large part of a homologation exercise. I'd expect to be able to persuade a CB scheme member to accept results from any nationally accredited lab so long as the report format and back-up paperwork was appropriate. Contact me off line if you want recommendations fo

I don't know if you will find any North American lab with IEC 60529 in their scope under the CB Scheme. I took a quick look at the CB Scheme web site and the standard didn't show up under the scope for UL, CSA or Intertek. For Europe, I only looked at VDE, TÜV Rheinleand and TÜV SÜD, and IEC 5

I looked through the "previews" that IEC provides and only found references to harmonics and flicker (IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3). There are other tests listed, such as: . voltage fluctuations and flicker; . harmonics up to and including order 50; . inter-harmonics up to the 50th harmonic; . v
