Re: [PSES] input current rating

2015-05-17 Thread Rich Nute
Dear Bostjan: One of the uses of current rating on equipment is to determine that the equipment, with all of the other equipment, would not overload the mains circuit. If the actual current exceeds the marked current, then the equipment, with all of the other equipment, can overload the

Dear experts, Does anyone know what is behind the requirement, that measured input current of the unit can exceed the rated current by 10%? Where this 10% come from? Best regards, Bostjan - This message is from the IEEE

Hi Bostjan! I had heard (and perhaps this is apocryphal) that the 10% was intended to allow for manufacturing tolerances in the final product. I don't know how the number was arrived at. -Ken On Sun, May 17, 2015 at 12:13 AM, Boštjan Glavič bostjan.gla...@siq.si wrote: Dear experts, Does
