Re: [PSES] Connection to ac mains with split end line cord

Hi Ken, With short delay, Thank you. So on short, if flexible cord is used, cord must have a plug, if wiring terminals are used, cord must be put in conduits. Do you know the background of this requirement? Is this applicable even if unit is used in a computer room with raised floor? Best

Brian - UL will generally accept a Class 1 air filter. These are evaluated against UL 900. Otherwise, it depends on the standard for the end product what requirement apply. I recall 60950-1 accepting HF-1. Peter Tarver From: Kunde, Brian [mailto:brian_ku...@lecotc.com] Sent: Monday,

[PSES] Harmonized standard listed under LVD with EMC tests included

IEC/EN61581-22: 2001 EN61581-22 is listed in OJ under LVD. But the standard also includes EMC requirements. But will those EMC test justify EMC for fulfilling CE? I doubt that. An harmonized EMC standard in addition, would give a combination of LVD and EMC standards for fulfilling CE

Hi Brian: I have only a passing familiarity with the type of requirements that you are asking about, but I can offer a few tidbits. For telecom carrier equipment, requirement GR-63-CORE (2012) requires a filter on all fan-cooled equipment, and contains requirements for the filtering

Most PCs don't blow air in, they blow it out, and the air inlet is well away from the power supply block. This tends to blow dust *out* of the innards and seems to work well, without the use of a filter. Of course, I don't know whether you can do that with your product. With best wishes DESIGN

I seek advice and opinions from fellow safety minded people. Our typical product has a metal chassis which is constructed as a Fire Enclosure (laboratory equipment 61010-1). On the back is a cutout for a cooling fan/blower mounted in the cutout. The fan is 24Vdc, certified by several safety

Based on the limited info you provide, perhaps some on this forum automatically know the level of rf you need to measure as well as the desired frequency accuracy. Not me. Any spectrum analyzer can measure any level, with appropriate internal/external attenuation and/or pre-amplification. They

Boric Acid is also very deadly to bees. In fact, bees can take the powder back to the hive in which it can kill off in just a few days. Most anything that is going to kill an ant is also going to kill bees and other insects. That’s why they prefer you use ant bait in little cans with holes in

Hello, I think you're possibly correct, but I also see that happening regularly with the attempts to squeeze more users into the finite amount of spectrum. A long time ago now, the decision was made that "effective use of spectrum" in the EU RED would mean that all radios have receiver

Who decides if a given technology makes 'efficient use'? For example, simple AM could be disallowed because it's not as 'efficient use' as 16-OFDM. I am concerned because a certain novel technique may quite possibly be unusable in Europe because of this 'efficiency' provision. With best wishes
