If you think of "non-permanently connected equipment" as cord-and-plug connected equipment, it is not uncommon for cord-and-plug connected equipment to rely upon the facility mains overcurrent protection (i.e., a circuit breaker in a distribution panel).

All equipment supplied from mains must be protected by some sort of overcurrent protection device. §9.6.3 for non-permanently connected equipment says “If an overcurrent protection device is provided, it shall be within the equipment”. Does this mean that equipment under §9.6.3 must have a built-in overcurrent protection device? Or is it enough to specify in the manual that an overcurrent protection device of certain size in the building installation is required? Any answer much appreciated Regards, and have a nice weekend Niels Niels Hougaard Bolls ApS Ved Gadekæret 11F DK-3660 Stenløse Denmark T: +45 48 18 35 66 F: +45 48 18 35 30 [email protected] www.bolls.dk - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
