The obvious question: does it make a difference with respect to test results between .5M and 5M? If the EUT is sufficiently robust, it may not make a difference. If you determine a worse case I would go with that. Of course, hacking bits off at a time may not make the customer happy.
You could just directly inject into the in-let terminals of the EUT (I'm sure that's coming in a future revision of IEC 61000-4-4). ;) Regards, David Spencer EH&S EMC Engineer Xerox Corp -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Derek Walton Sent: Tue 2/8/2011 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EUT power cord length Hi Group, I have a question concerning what to do with an EUT's non detaching power cord for EFT, Surge and CI. Lets say the EUT comes with 5 metres of cable, what would I do with this cable between the coupling networks and the EUT? Do I cut to a shorter length, bundle etc? I'm stressing non detaching power cord.... Opinions welcome.
