Re: [PSES] safety standard - mobile inverters

I don't think there is one. A search on the IEC web site shows IEC 61204-7:2016, which is not about inverters but might be sufficiently applicable. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN! OOO – Own Opinions Only www.jmwa.demon.co.uk J M Woodgate and Associates Rayleigh England Sylvae in aeternum manent.

Re: [PSES] safety standard - mobile inverters

Hello Ralph, It's been nine years since I worked for APC, now another Schneider Electric company. Back then, APC had some inverters that plugged into the lighter/power socket of cars and they were tested to EN 60950-1 for Europe. You might look at IEC 62040 series standards for additional

Re: [PSES] safety standard - mobile inverters

Dear group, I am looking for suggestions on best-fit product safety standard for LVD for a 230V inverter intended for vehicular use only. (buses & small trucks) Test lab suggests EN60950, which I dismissed. EN50178 and EN60335-1 don’t appear to be suitable. I’m really looking for an IEC

You are correct, I recall in 1995 when the VP of Engineering at my company back then obtained a copy of a few safety standards and attempted to outline and distill requirements for our products. He felt he could make quick work of it but was soon overwhelmed. As it turns out this was the

Apologies, but as should have been obvious, there was a typo in my last post, and so part of the 2nd para should have read “…but have never even heard of the TRF documents, or, if they have, cannot get their management to pay for the cost of downloading, and then the time involved

Re: [PSES] Do it yourself safety reports?

Doug I don’t doubt that when you become very familiar with the IEC TRF approach, and what you need to do to make correct use of them, you can become very comfortable with it, but do think back to when you first encountered it as that will, probably, put you in the same position as many

Following on what I said earlier, the most disadvantaged parts of the industry are the SMEs where the relevant experience, assessment facilities, finance, and, most critically, management understanding, of the problems involved are all very limited - and so they sometimes attempt the DIY approach,

I'm trying to determine the correct EN EMC standards for an electrical vibrator used in construction. 230V cord and plug connected, portable. I'm thinking generic light industrial, EN 61000-6-1 + EN 61000-3. Any thoughts from this august group on more specific, or different, standards?

Re: [PSES] Do it yourself safety reports?

No need to limit yourself to 60950 either. Specifically for battery operated equipment, you can use a standard like 60335 that has requirements for battery operated appliances. From the Annex use the testing and construction and user instructions from that standard. --Dan RomanIEEE Senior

Re: [PSES] Do it yourself safety reports?

I agree with John, batteries are the most critical part. Make sure they are properly approved, and use a fuse in their leads. As it's an RF product, I suppose the LVD comes into play by means of the RTTE (RED) directive. So a full qualification is needed. Many aspects do not apply, but the

Re: [PSES] Do it yourself safety reports?

If it's battery-powered, the LVD may not apply, so in turn there is no need to apply 60950. But I would advise applying it as far as possible. We don't want more battery fires, so that is one point to look at carefully; can the battery be short-circuited by a fault and if so, what happens? It's
