Hello All, I have a product in which the customers can envision the user to use a signal cable longer than 30m. He has no control over what is used and the product will function with a cable of that length. The standard I am testing to is EN 61000-6-2.
The requirement for signal lines says the surge on I/O lines must be performed >from line to earth at 1kV. Silly question I suppose, but what is meant by line and what is meant by earth? I suppose line is the signal line and earth is protective earth. Also, I assume the surge must be induced by an inductive clamp. My question is how is the surge applied between the signal line and earth when using a clamp?
