> >>Sub-clause 2.7.1 of IEC950 (and its clones) says, "Protection against excess currents, short-circuits and earth faults in primary circuits shall be provided, either as an integral part of the equipment or as part of the building installation." >> >>The 3rd ammendment added a note that says, " In countries detailed in the following list, the protective devices necessary to comply with the requirements of 5.4 must be included as part of the equipment: Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom." >> >>This change seems to require that pluggable equipment must now have two fuses (one per pole for single phase equipment) if it is to be sold in the listed countries. The UK is not a problem since the power cord in double fused, but is there now a problem with the other countries? Anyone know why this note was added? So far, I have talked to two European agencies, and they both had no answer. >> >>Richard Woods >>Sensormatic Electronics >> >> >
