Since it is the ferrite that is the ‘special accessory’, the company would not necessarily need to provide the cable, they would only have to provide the special accessory ferrite that would fit on the cable. Or they would provide a means of obtaining the ferrite at the time of purchase for

It appears that I can only meet this requirement for outdoor enclosures by either using a Class 2 power supply, or require the installer to use the external ground connection in addition to the internal PE ground. The system is safe under normal conditions, but only has hazardous voltages on

Hi Dennis, If the manufacturer choose to to use ferrites to solves the emissions problem, the implementation seems clear. Inconvenient, but clear. What if the company found HDMI cables without ferrites that solved the emissions problem, like cables from vendors that properly terminate the

[PSES] Are unlisted EN standards that are undated references immediately effective?

I recently received notice that a new version of EN IEC 61000-4-5:2014 (based on IEC ed. 3) is released. I see that this standard does not (directly) give presumption of conformance to the EMC directive (i.e., it is 'unlisted'), but a standard that *is* listed (61000-6-2) references it as an

Not to mention, what does the product family standard referencing it say? For example, EN 55024:2010 has dated references to the 61000-4-x series. Just because a newer version is published doesn't mean that you can start using it. You must use the version called out in the product family

I re-read the Annex ZA of EN 61000-6-2:2005, and things became complicated again. This EN does not normatively reference other ENs, rather it references IEC documents (except for one case (regarding CISPR 22). Therefore, the tricks related to CENELEC's statements of dates do not apply.

HI John: As mentioned in my first response, you will have the same problem (half the mains on the enclosure) if you use a Class II power supply. If you talk with your NRTL, I'm sure he will accept your construction based on 60950-1, 5.1 rather than 60950-22. Your equipment is not unsafe
