That is not correct reasoning. Boxes of passive components can have poor immunity. The EMCD does apply. The LVD also applies, but you have to evaluate the safety when the box is connected between conforming main units. This you explain in the technical file. That's what it's for. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
