Derek, though it's a loose fit, EN61010.1, for Test, Measurement and Control Equipment might work for you. Though HVAC in Europe is admittedly not my forte, I'm not aware of a 'journaled' or 'EN' standard for HVAC (unless there's a fairly recent addition), so for lack of a better standard, it

Craig, this is a common problem. My experience is with North American Manufacturers selling to Europe. In order to comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), and Self-Declare compliance with the CE Mark, one applies an EN standard such as EN1010, for Test, Measurement and Control Equipment, or

Re: Neutral - Earth Voltage

Hi Scott: The cause of the neutral-earth voltage is the neutral current times the neutral resisitance to the point where the neutral is connected to earth. The higher the neutral current, the higher the voltage difference between the neutral and earth conductors. Building power distribution

Richard, It has been a few years now that for ITE, NRTLs do not require a detachable type power supply cord to be shipped with the unit. At some point, they required that for units not provided with detachable cords, a non-permanent marking be provided by the power Inlet See Installation

I have a question about what is an acceptable voltage range for voltage measured between the Neutral line and the Earth line in both the USA and in Europe. I am concerned strictly with 115 and 230 VAC systems for ITE. I know that in the USA we measure from Hot to Earth and get approx. 115 VAC and

Craig, We faced the same dilemma with our products. Shipping word-wide and trying to get all products to have the same certifications without question as to destination was tough. In the end, we use an IEC320 appliance inlet on all products and have in stock 10 different power cordsets. We make
