Flicker problem
I have a number of products that must meet the requirements of EN 61000-3-3 for voltage fluctuation but I am having problems complying. The failure happens when a vacuum pump is switched on during a cycle of the machine and then it is switched off. The inrush that occurs is about 35 amps with a running current of 5 amps. We switch the pump on and off with a SSR zero crossing. I would like to solve this problem with the least cost to meet the test requirement. I have tried powering the pump with a 25ohm power resistor in series and a time delay relay to switch the resistor out. This works reasonably well and reduces the inrush to 10 amps but the time delay relay I am using is about $60 and it doesn't have a high enough current rating for the contacts to use it in production. I will be getting in a Crydom SST soft start relay combination to try but it has other implementation problems such as my control voltage is +24 Vdc and it is rated to +10 Vdc plus the soft start module is not VDE approved so it might not have the creepage require to satisfy the safety guys. Does anyone have a suggestion such as a certified soft start relay or some elegant fix that I could implement. I would appreciate any comments or personal triumphs in solving flicker problems. The circuit specs are; AC input 200-240Vac, pump current 5 amps, control +24Vdc.

Re: SLIM
In message 002301c0a16a$27dbdea0$9641c0c1@oemcomputer Brian Jones writes: The seventh draft of the revised EMC Directive has been produced by the European Commission for discussion at the meeting of the EMC Working Party on 6-7 March 2001. This meeting of member state governments (with some representation from industry) is one of a regular series, the SLIM Working Group having held its last meeting in November 2000 with EMCD2000.6 being the final outcome. The main change in 2000.7 is the removal of the various options. The options selected in 2000.7 are FI2, NB1, ED1, ENV3 and HS1. These are of course open to debate and change at the meeting. In my view two of the option selections are seriously mistaken and I hope those able to debate and (hopefully) change will reconsider them: The adoption of ED1 rather than ED2: The phrase technically competent could become an excuse for introducing licensing or registration. As well as increasing the cost of compliance, the possibility of different licensing/registration criteria applying in different Member States would constitute a barrier to trade. More important, the adoption of HS1 is seriously wrong as it mandates the use of the methods the harmonised standard describes or refers to without provision for the use of equivalent or newly evolved methods that may be simpler, cheaper and/or use existing test equipment rather than that mandated in the standard.

Information to disconnect the negative terminal first before replace the batteries is clear in the service manual, but I don't know if only this is sufficient. I don't know of anything explicit in any standard, but the consequences of shorting a 48 V battery could be very serious, up to loss-of-life. Therefore I would think in terms of the General Safety Directive, which says, in effect, 'make it safe, then make it safer'. So: - put a warning notice **next to the battery** saying 'Disconnect THIS terminal first.' Don't rely on a drunken blind, idiot knowing which is the negative one. - if possible, fix to the negative connector a plastic shield that covers up the positive terminal and connector, so you can't even get at the positive terminal without first removing the negative one. If you need to be able to measure the battery voltage with a multimeter, put a small hole in the shield that will just admit a test-prod. You could perhaps put the warning notice on the shield itself. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.

RE: RTTE Directive
Hi Amund, I am not familiar with this type of device, however if you have confirmed that all standards that apply to the device are harmonized under the directive, you are correct that you can apply Annex III of the directive without the assistance of a NB. You are correct again that since the frequency band is not harmonized throughout the EU, you must Notify each member state of your intention to place the product on their market. Since you are using non-harmonized frequency bands, you must also apply the alert symbol on your device alerting the user that there are restrictions to the use of this device in some countries. Those restrictions should be placed on your label and in the operators guide. ~ Sam Wismer Lead Regulatory Engineer/ Radio Approvals Engineer LXE, Inc.

RE: Harmonics
Glenn, One answer is that one PC on its own can't be a problem, 200 PC's in different locations can in total have an effect on the supply system (and thus on other equipment connected to it - so with items in widespread use some individual product limit is needed) but with 200 PC's in a single location the total harmonic current drawn may be sufficient to cause serious site problems. Other examples we've been involved with include banks, trading floors, etc. A good analogy would be with leakage current. Even if a single device meets the product spec, supplying a number of devices in parallel (e.g. thru a socket strip) might be sufficient to exceed safe limits and trip protective devices. So site-level harmonic mitigation is a neccessary intermediate step between control of individual items of equipment at one end and protection of the supply system at the other. I expect John Woodgate can explain this much better than me!
