I had a question posed to me by a fellow engineer with regard to the design of an electrical outlet to be used in ITE equipment. He is following the requirements identified in CSA standard C22.2 #42-99 where each pole and ground pin is individually subjected to a weighted pullout test. The question was whether or not this is also part of the equivalent UL requirements for electrical outlets. An engineer from a reputable power cord manufacturer told him that UL did not require this test. Unfortunately I have no expertise with either standard and could not help. Could someone let me know what the equivalent UL standard is and whether this is a true statement.
If someone could contact me off line I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance...
