Per EN 60950 and UL 1950, Section 1.2.3. If it requires a tool to move it then it is considered fixed equipment. If the equipment has wheels and can be moved by the user without using tools then it is considered movable equipment. From your description below it sounds like you have fixed equipment.
Mike Campi -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 5:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Fixed Installation I have questions concerning a manufacturing system. The system comprises of about a dozen pieces of integrated equipment that take up about 12 x 6 x 6 meters and it has a total continuous current draw of 250 kilowatts (408, 3-phase). The equipment will not be sold and only used internally within the same company that is the manufacturer. It is the first of a very limited number of systems (roughly 5). My first impression is that this system can be considered a "fixed installation" under the EMC Directive and therefore is exempt from the EMC Directive (at least that's my interpretation of section 6.5 of the Guidelines on the EMC Directive). However, after a year or so, the system may be torn down, shipped to a different manufacturing facility within the same company and reassembled. First of all, am I correct in considering this a fixed installation? And does it remain a fixed installation even if it is moved? Does it fall under the EMC Directive? Does it require a TCF? Or should I only be concerned with emission levels "in situ"? --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
