Conflict of Interest Notice: My employer makes component power supplies. PFC data should be available. It should be an important part of the vendor's DVT. Component power supply PF can be affected by many variations in the input power quality, output load(s), and input voltage. In any case, the

Standards are published in the OJ for use with a particular directive. In this case EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3 have been published in the OJ as standards used to conform to the EMC directive. If you choose to meet the Medical Devices Directive (Watch out that you are within it's scope!) no

Although you are correct - neither does the EMC Directive. BUT the EN for harmonics IS in the OJ and it would seem to me to be applicable. Any one else agree??

The Medical Devices Directive does not have any specific requirements for Power Factor Correction. The EMC standard for medical equipment, EN60601-1-2, does not call out any limitations on harmonics, a related issue. Jon Griver i...@shani.net

The "power factor correction" standard is IEC 1000-3-2 (aka EN 61000-3-2). This standard applies to ALL electrical and electronic products exceeding 75 watts maximum rated power. The EN standard applies to all countries of the European Community (most of Western Europe). EN 61000-3-2 falls und
