Peter, Here's my two cents ... Extraneous/non-electrical Conductive Part - 1 A conductive part that is not intended to be part of ANY electrical circuit (power or otherwise) of a device. 2. If removed from the device, does not cause any degradation of electrical performa

Hi Pete: It seems to me that there are several kinds of conductive parts that we need to be concerned about from a safety perspective: 1. Energized parts at hazardous voltage. 2. Energized parts at non-hazardous voltage. 3. Energized parts at non-hazardous current. 4. Grounded/earthed p

PSNet I'm involved in a discussion concerning definitions... wot's you opinion... Exposed conductive part: conductive part of equipment, which can be touched and which is not normally live, but which can become live when basic insulation fails. Extraneous/non-electric
