RE: Surge testing Questions

I believe the intention has always been to test line-to-ground (normal mode) and then neutral-ground (common mode). It's been a few years since I was convenor of that group and don't recall all the discussions. I believe coupling multiple lines may have been discussed, but there are real problems p

CISPR:22 item 9.6.3 misses the point. 1. Paragraph 1 could be interpreted as requiring tests in all three equipment arrangements. 2. Paragraph 2 ignores auto-negotiation. Ethernet auto-negotiatiation route is full-duplex 100BaseTX, half-duplex 100BaseTX, full-duplex 10Ba

Good day folks, I have a question or two concerning the latest surge test document EN61000-4-5: 1) when the pulse is applied on a power lead between line and ground, is it done Line to ground, then Neutral to Ground OR, is it Line and Neutral to Ground. One would think if this were a common m

Are integrated components in scope of EuP?

Trying to get a response for competent authorities in EU is proving difficult. Perhaps someone here has insight. Does EuP apply to in-scope items that components of a out-of-scope machine? Scenarios of interest are importing the machine itself into the EU, and importing the item as a spare part

Hi John, All, Don't forget that under the new EMC Directive you can sign off a DoC on the basis that the equipment has been assessed against the essential requirements. The fact that you use standard that are "out of date" is immaterial - it is still a valid DoC. People who are getting ready to

The problem is a little more complex because the new EMCD requires dated references on the DoC as well. A DoC can look out of date when it is not and can appear "in date" when it is not ( a Customs problem?). Also because the new EMCD requirement, many (and I mean many) DoCs will be out of date sim

Re: Telecom ISNs for CISPR 22:2006

Hi Neven, I agree with this statement, however the standard specifies ISNs for common interfaces such as Ethernet. So I think we are stuck with using ISNs whenever possible. The capacitive voltage clamp and current clamp methods are left as an option for when there is a non-supported telecom i
