I had a question posed to me by a fellow engineer with regard to the design
of an electrical outlet to be used in ITE equipment. He is following the
requirements identified in CSA standard C22.2 #42-99 where each pole and
ground pin is individually subjected to a weighted pullout test. The
question was whether or not this is also part of the equivalent UL
requirements for electrical outlets. An engineer from a reputable power cord
manufacturer told him that UL did not require this test. Unfortunately I
have no expertise with either standard and could not help. Could someone let
me know what the equivalent UL standard is and whether this is a true
statement.
If someone could contact me off line I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
