Richard, I believe the concern is for products that are shipped with a junction box not a power supply cord. For example, we approved a Kiosk that was provided with a junction box and no power cord. The installer (electrician) was required to size the breaker and mains wiring.

All certified beakers have a specified breaking capacity and the building wiring is sized for that protection. I understand that the compliant equipment's internal wiring, and where allowed, permanently connected power cord will withstand the short-circuit currents allowed by the certified external breakers. So, it is unclear to me that any additional specifications, including a current rating, are required other than stating that the protection is required. What statements are you making in your instructions to comply with this requirement? ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
