Do you know whether or not this amendment has been published in the O.J. yet? If so, does anyone have the date of publication? Thanks.

So, if your product is not in any of those categories, you need not comply with Class D after the doa of the amendment. Nevertheless, if your product is Class D, the Class D limits are the same as those for Class A for the 5th harmonic and very close for most of the other harmonics which are likely to be close to the limit. Class D allows you to test at "rated power" which is the same as max power expected to be drawn from the unit. This allows you to test at one power level, unless your product has fluctuating harmonics. Fluctuating harmonics are usually present in products which have electronic power supplies plus intermittent motor or heater loads which turn off and on during normal operation. In such a case, you must test in both operating conditions John P. Wagner AVAYA Communication 11900 N.
