Dear group, Regarding medical devices, I knew protective earthing test was performed differently between EN 60601-1 and CAN/CSA 22.2 No.601-1. In particular, I read some articles talking of a 30 Amps, 2 minutes test, instead of 25 Amps, 5 seconds. Now, I've got CAN/CSA 22.2 N0 601-1, both 1990 and reaffirmed 2001 editions, and I can't find any deviation from IEC test.
Could anybody help me to shed light on the matter? Paolo Peruzzi El.En. S.p.A.
