Greetings! I used to work for Lucent Power Systems which is a MAJOR supplier of DC-powering equipment for telecom systems. We used IEC-320 connectors in some of our products in non-AC roles. For instance: we used them as input connectors to rack-mounted DC-to-DC converters (input: 48Vdc; output: 24Vdc) where the IEC-320 inlet on the converter mated to shelf-mounted mating connector. Because the product is used in a limited-access, trained installation personnel environment, UL accepted this application. VDE also accepted this with the caveat that this system be inside of a cabinet with doors.
Admittedly, this is a fairly narrow application, but it does demonstrate some flexibility in the use of these connectors which is acceptable to the regulatory agencies. -Jeff Haney Alcatel --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
