BS 1363-1 also states temperature stability being taken as less than 1K rise within 1 h. I'm sticking with 60335-2-6, less than 1K in 15 min. From experience components used in the appliances I test tend to saturate way before the 15 minute period. Thanks again for all the feedback.

John C From: Mick Maytum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 12 January 2012 10:47 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Steady State Conditions - née thermal equilibrium The IEC offers several definitions of thermal equilibrium in its Glossary. thermal equilibrium conditions stable temperature conditions indicated by temperature changes of no more than 3 K (5 °F) or 1 % of the absolute operating temperature, whichever is higher between two readings 15 min apart IEC 62282-2, ed. 1.0 (2004-07) thermal equilibrium variation of less than 1 K between any two out of three consecutive measurements made at an interval of 5 min IEC 61810-7, ed. 2.0 (2006-03) thermal equilibrium state reached when the observed temperature rise of any part of the welding equipment does not exceed 2 K/h IEC 62135-1, ed. 1.0 (2008-07) thermal equilibrium the state reached when the temperature rises of the several parts of the machine do not vary by more than a gradient of 2 K per hour NOTE Thermal equilibrium may be determined from the time-temperature rise plot when the straight lines between points at the beginning and end of two successive reasonable intervals each have a gradient of less than 2 K per hour. IEC 60034-1, ed. 12.0 (2010-02) Nice to see a harmonised approach from the various IEC TCs Regards Mick - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
