Re: [PSES] [EXTERNAL] Re: [PSES] confused about the following exempted equipment from the FCC

Thanks Jim. To the most part that’s how I interpret it as well. Power and telephone utilities have their own set of rules the get to play by, but excluding equipment in an industrial plant seems odd. There was at least one interpretation that B only applies to test equipment for the three catego

Gary, my understanding is section B applies to electric utilities only, or electric utility hardware. In some cases a company might have their own electric generation capability so it would apply to that equipment as well. It does not apply to generic industrial equipment. Something to big to f

Doug, Sounds like there is a piece of the puzzle missing. For instance, the EN 61326-1 calls out Surge Immunity according to IEC61000-4-5 Level 3. The IEC 61000-4-5 calls out Level 3 to be 2KV. So unless your first standard calls out the Basic standard then you would not know what “Level 3 “

John, It does, but it fails to indicate which standard the severity levels are based upon. Otherwise I wouldn’t be asking this question. Doug Nix d...@mac.com "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -- Carl Sagan > On 21-Dec-16, at 07:32, John Allen wrote: > > PS: Does not

Hi Douglas, Each of the Basic Standards from the series EN 61000-4-x ( esp -3,-4,-5, and -6) have their own list of test levels recommended to the committees writing the product standard. In general they are 1,2,3 and X. Your product standard should not have referred to the test level number but

Fellow listers, I recently ran into the following text in an EN standard: “...unit should be tolerable for EMC severity level 3…” I am trying to track down which IEC standard in the IEC 61000 series defines EMC severity levels. If you know which standard this is please let me know. To all who
