You are correct.... for purposes of COMPLIANCE to EN55024 and application of a CE Mark, you test each line with respect to a reference ground (PE), but as I'm sure you're aware, a customer can ask for whatever they think is relevant.
Mike Hopkins [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Roncone Paolo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 11:46 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: EFT/Burst Group, we are currently discussing with one OEM the interpretation of EFT/Burst test requirements per EN55024 and EN61000-4-4 to a printer. Specifically we are discussing the requirements of application of bursts to AC power lines. Our understanding is that they must be applied between each (single) power supply conductor and reference ground (or protective earth), as specified in EN61000-4-4 section 7.3.1. Also fig.4 and fig.11 in the same document seem to confirm this. Our OEM customer says that all combinations of phase, neutral and protective earth should be tested. They actually tested both singular AC lines and also more than one AC line. The printer passed the test in the first mode and failed in the second mode. Any comments / interpretations would be highly appreciated. Paolo Roncone Compuprint s.p.a.
