Re: C.O. Battery Voltages - EVERYWHERE

2003-04-04 Thread David Heald

I believe that DT is the only carrier that uses -60Vdc CO's, but I think 
that it is only present in their older CO's.

It's not that hard to meet the requirements though - just maintain 1mm 
(40th) creepage  clearance between TNV-2 and SELV, GND, etc (up to your 
DC/DC's/opto-isolators/bridging caps) and make sure any bridging 
capacitors are physically large enough to have 1mm between the pads (Y 
rating is not required but anything smaller than a 1206 SMT cap is too 
small to maintain spacings).  Voltage rating on the caps is important 
too, I guess - pick according to proper NEBS reliability derating.

-And you may have to ensure that your DC/DC's are rated properly.

Dave Heald

I'm interested in obtaining information on the percentage of C.O.'s
worldwide that are utilizing -60VDC as their battery voltage.  It is my
understanding that a majority use -48VDC although some still use -60VDC.
Any and all information/references would be helpful.  If there are
references that are country specific or carrier specific, that would be
valuable information as well.  Any charts/spreadsheets out there similar
to the mains supply charts I've seen would be excellent.

Thx,


Joe

CCC mark information

2003-04-04 Thread Peter Horvat

Hello all,

I'm currently looking at the CCC product catalogue that lists products
requiring CCC marking.
(available at:
http://www.typeapproval.com/cn/Docs/CPCS_Catalogue_of_Equipment.pdf)  

Does anyone know if the list is complete?  If a product does not fall into
one of the categories on the list, are there any generic
standards/regulations that are applicable, or is the product simply
exempted? 

Thank you in advance for your responses.

RE: SAR Testing

2003-04-04 Thread Kurt Fischer

Hi Andrew,

Many of the test labs that perform SAR testing for cellular handsets would be
able to perform this test. Bluetooth operates at 2.4 GHz so probably SAR labs
that have capability for IEEE 802.11b,g and North American Cellular (1900 MHz)
could help you.

Please contact me offline if you still have problem locating a lab.

Field wiring solutions in the US.

2003-04-04 Thread Ilan Cohen


Most of you guys are probably familiar with the field wiring requirements
that ITE products must comply with. (mainly for DC powered units) 

When a unit does not comply and the terminal block is not suitable for field
wiring than a manufacture has an option of using 6 leads (not a very
favorable option but it is an option) or redesign of the power interface.

A solution to this problem can be provided with an external box, which will
be sold with the unit. The box clearly must comply with all the requirements
of UL60950 (Terminal block suitable for filed wiring, electrical enclosure,
access to Hazardous energies, etc.).

Does any one know of connection boxes like that that are off the shelf and
are UL approved for filed wiring?
Any other ideas?

Regards

Re: high current MIL-STD-461E CS101

2003-04-04 Thread Ken Javor

As you are no doubt aware, Solar Electronics is the sole source supplier of
CS01/CS101 injection transformers.  They make two models, rated at 50 and
100 Amps.  I expect you could use any transformer with the right current
rating and turns ratio as an injection device over most of the CS101 range.

But I don't think it is necessary.  If you are a 150 Amp load on a 115 Volt
circuit, the impedance of that circuit is so low it is difficult to imagine
how any other load could generate several Volts of ripple.  Given that CS101
now extends to 150 kHz, I could perhaps see performing the test from, say,
10 - 150 kHz, where bus inductance could cause some ripple, but where the
bus impedance is milliohms this is a misapplied requirement.

The design impact of building a brute force LCR filter at CS101 frequencies
is considerable, and should only be undertaken to solve real, as opposed to
specsmanship problems.

If anyone has a problem with this line of reasoning, consider that such a
heavy load almost certainly has a dedicated feeder straight from the
generator.  The shared bus impedance between this load and another one that
could be causing the ripple is basically the generator itself and the few
feet of wiring between the generator and the breaker panel.  It is much more
likely that this load, if it draws pulsed currents, is loading the generator
itself and thus generating ripple than it being affected by other loads.

For the exact same reasoning, a 50 uH LISN is inappropriate for measuring
conducted emissions.  The 5 uH model is more applicable.  However, you can
only measure emissions from 150 kHz on up with that model.  That is fine,
you just tailor the 10-150 kHz range into a current limit and measure per
CE101 test method.  I have done this several times on high current loads.
If done correctly, it can save tens of pounds and considerable space in
hauling pig iron filters around, which is important if the host platform
flies.

 I would like to know if anyone out there has had any experience with running
 CS101 on very high pulsed current devices.
 
 Our EUT (class AB amplifier) draws  150 A (115 VAC 400 Hz).  I would like
 to know what equipment and methods were used.
 
 On a related note, this equipment cannot be operated with the standard 50 uH
 LISN, but a 5 uH LISN cannot be used to measure below 100 kHz.  Has anyone
 used the voltage probe method defined in the appendix of 461E?
