If you receive two copies, I apologize in advance.) I'm looking at what I call low profile IEC 320 AC connectors. Specifically, I'm looking at three pin versions which are based upon IEC 320 C5 (the connector on the cable) and IEC 320 C6 (the chassis inlet connector). We currently use standard three pin IEC 320 AC inlets on our products, and we stock the mating cables with various flavors of wall connectors (US, Euro, UK, Italian, Australian ...). We went through quite a bit of effort a few years back to identify and specify all of the different power cables that we anticipated needing and making sure that they had the correct safety approvals, wire type, color, length ... It was a pain, but we're now dumb, fat and happy when it comes to this, we can usually supply a customer with whatever line cord they need. What's my question? Well, if we move to these low profile AC power inlets on our product; what will happen to our availability of mating line cords? I have tested the waters with some of our line cord manufacturers with no luck. Does anybody have an idea of how available line cords are with the IEC 320 C5 connector? Better yet, does anybody know a manufacturer that makes international cordsets (especially US, Euro, UK, Italian and Australian) with these connnectors on them?

We use it for pre-compliance testing per EN61000-4-2. We have been very pleased with its performance. We have Keytek perform the calibration and maintenance of the simulator and it never has been in need of repair. You should be able to locate a local rep for a demo and I would think they would provide a loaner for a few days.

RE: Production Line Test Requirements - Medical Devices
Dear Jon, Dick and All Memebers, I believe the UL method for Production-Line Grounding Continuity Test is just to verify that someone did not forget to connect the earthing lead from the appliance inlet or power corrd to the chassis. Therefore an ohmmeter, buzzer or the like is all that is considered necessary. The feeding of an ac or dc current between the protective earth terminal and other parts of the unit likely to be energized by a single insulation fault is not necessary during the production-line tests because these tests have already been conducted by the lab during the type tests. UL and other NRTLs want to make sure that assembler did not forget to connect the main earthing lead. Also, if you check a UL or NRTL descriptive report used for the quarterly folow-up inspections, you will note that the construction of the product has been described in detail, including but not limited to earthing connections, enclosure, covers, screws and washers, etc. European test labs for follow-up purposes, use a Critical Components List but do not describe the construction of the product in detail. Hence, they require the feeding on an ac or dc low voltage current source into the earthing path for each production unit. Regards PETER S. MERGUERIAN Technical Director I.T.L.

Please note that a few years ago I did factory inspections for TUV Rheinland, so I'm speaking from a position of some knowledge (though a bit outdated). UL includes its production test requirements in its standards. It traditionally has only required a check of earth continuity under low current conditions. The European test labs work on the basis of extracting production tests from the standards. They require these tests to be performed as a condition of using their mark on the product. It is the test lab's decision which production tests are to be performed and it is not mandated by any standard. Traditionally, the European test labs require the earth continuity test to be carried out at high current conditions, as in the standard. The logic behind this is that if there is a fault to earth, it will cause a high current which may cause any weak links in the earth circuit to heat up and possibly char and increase in resistance or even burn out completely. (We've all seen charring around sockets). Thus this test is considered more effective in identifying loose connections, etc. due to production mistakes than the UL test, which might miss them. Presumably if you are selling your medical product in the EU, you have a Notified Body (unless your product is Group 1). You should agree your production test plan with them. Be aware that they may insist on the high current earth continuity test.

UL defines Production Line Grounding Continuity Test Equipment as: Any suitable continuity indication device (such as an ohmmeter, a battery and buzzer combination, or the like) may be used to determine compliance with Grounding Continuity Test requirements. The NFPA std is even less definitive on this matter. EN60601-1, Appendix B - Testing During Manufacture and/or Installation, Not Used. See rational to sub-clause 4.1. Which states - Tests described in this standard are type tests. I checked all of the amendments including EN60601-1 for medical systems, and I do not see anything changing this. My questions remains, where does it state to use the 10-25Amp, 50 or 60Hz @ 6Volt for 5 seconds test? Is this a carry over from another EN standard? Why wouldn't a simple continuity tests as defined by UL be appropriate from equipment coming off of the production line (assuring that the protective earth circuit in intake)? Appreciate your feedback Jon! thanks again. Does anyone else on this forum have any input - would appreciate it. --- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.

You have a Rendez-Vous in Montreal
Bonjour de Montréal, I am pleased to announce that the Advance Program of the International Rendez-Vous the 2001 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, is now on-line at: http://www.2001emcmtl.org I invite you to browse our Web pages and learn about our outstanding Technical Program and Social Activities. More than 15 years of experience in the EMC field made me learned that this is a domain where information, contacts and continuous learning is essential, three things that you can hardly find combined except when you attend the IEEE EMC Symposium. This Symposium is the largest on earth covering the subject of Electromagnetic Compatibility and Product Safety in terms of participants, papers and exhibitors. EMC has many implications in many levels and most electrical or electronic engineer has to deal with one of its many facets everyday. Our Symposium is seeking to gives participants the latest developments in research, standards, regulation, instrumentation and services. Montréal is also a wonderful place to visit and we invite you, and your family, to take advantage of this opportunity and combine it with your family vacations. Take advantage of our Official Airline reduce airfares. And if after that you don't have enough arguments to convince your Boss, see our 10 excellent reason to attend our Symposium page. I surely hope you won't miss this Rendez-Vous. Best Regards, == Benoît Nadeau, ing., M.ing.
