Yes, you do seem to have identified the underlying 'feature' of -2-17. It appears now that there is a proper liaison between TC96 and TC108 9and TC55), which should resolve the matter. > >I found this mention on the IEC Website: > >IEC 61558-2-16 Ed. 1.0 E ACDV >Safety of power transformers, power supplies, reactors, and similar >products - Part 2-16: Particular requirements for switch mode power >supplies and transformers for switch mode power supplies > >I cannot seem to get to the listing of U.S. members of TC96 on the >'public' side of the IEC Site.

You can get there from the front page, and that leads you to the URL: http://www.iec.ch/searchtech/tc_wkgrp.htm Enter '96' in both 'TC/SC interval' boxes and click 'submit'. That gets you to the list of WGs of TC96, and if you click on: PT 61558-2-16: Development of IEC 61558-2-16 "Power supply units incorporating a transformer you get the contact details for the project leader and the names of members with country codes. I do not recommend putting the names on a public forum, however. People can be sensitive. The contact details for members ARE in the restricted part, but for TC96 those details have not been put on the database. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
