NEBS Gurus, Do the 1089 bonding and grounding DC short circuit tests apply down to the component level in a system or are they limited to the power supply or some other demarcation point? If it applies anywhere in the system it seems to me that you'd never finish testing. You'd have to test the power supply, backplane, mother board, daughter cards, IC dies...sort of like doing the UL 15W test for home entertainment equipment.
Reading through section 9 and specifically 9.8 it seems they are keying on the power supplied directly from the CBN and not that power indirectly derived from the CBN after DC to DC converters. Where is the demarcation point if there is one? Do labs that test to NEBS handle this consistently? Thanks in advance.
