There is a lot to be said for this approach.
Unfortunately, I had just sent out an e-mail on EN 61000-4-6 and EN 50141 when I started following the thread on "Switch Inrush Ratings". I eventually came to the postings making reference to the John Woodgate approach and realised I hadn't done all I could before posting the query. Realising I hadn't googled, I made a hasty attempt to correct this, frantically wiping the sweat off my brow as I started my browser ( air conditioners are of limited effectiveness in times like these - mercifully the anti-perspirant isn't!). I got the distinct feeling of one walking clear across the street to one's car only to realise the draft around one's legs is not a necessary evil and could have been easily prevented had one bothered to check that one had one's pants on! I promptly googled, and realised I should have googled .. no .. that I should have been googling all this time. Sigh! I guess all I can do now is sit and wait for the replies confirming my take on the two standards was indeed correct.

I don't think I use that response any more often than others, But it's good advice. Also, if you Googled before asking here, please say so. Then when someone says 'Google!', you won't need to say (as some do in other, less polite fora), ' Do you think I'm a BF? I tried that already!'. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
