According to Clause 1.7.11 of the 60950 clones, for equipment that is
permanently wired and relies upon the building installation for
short-circuit protection, ". . . the equipment installation instructions
shall so state and shall also specify the requirements for short-circuit
protection or over-current protection, where necessary, for both."
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?
