Hi All, I'm testing a machine which incorporates a Plasma cutter. The plasma unit has arrived, and is tested in accordance with EN60974-10:2003. My question is, why wasn't Surge ( EN61000-4-5 ) and conducted Immunity ( EN61000-4-6 ) required for this device. It boggles the mind! I'm going to perform these on the machine, I have to...
I'm loosing faith fast in product standard writers, and their ability to decided what tests to specify. Another example I came across last week was Cook tops. In this day and age, when cell phones are common place, there is no requirement to test for radiated immunity: unbelievable! OK, soap box over... Can anyone help me understand why EN60974-10:2003 is missing the two tests?
