IEC950 vs. EN 60950

Daniel PSNet, IEC 950 - now IEC 60950 - is an international standard, meaning that all countries participating in the development of the standard bring their codes and practices to the table and some subset of the same is included in the final standard. EN 60950 is the

Dear safety experts, I thought that HAR designated cable used for 230V power cords will be in accordance with other safety standards (EN60950 electric strength for reinforced or double insulation). Cordage carrying the same code name (H05VV-F) is rated for the same working voltage (300/500V) but

HI! There is no change for EMS enforcement date (Jan. 2000) in Korea yet. Applicant for EMI approval could be local company, however, Canada located company could be applicant too since Korea and Canada made MRA. And, also, EMI label has to be affixed onto the product as you said. All ITE

Re: US NEC and Canadian CEC

If it were that simple, so would be the codes. You asked a lot of questions without reducing the scope. Answers depend on the application. For example ampacity depends on temperature which in turn depends on environment (ambient, buried, aerial, in conduit, in concrete, or other dissipation

10 N force Test on Internal Components Prior to Overvoltage Tests

Peter, Both IEC 60950 and UL 1950 include section 6 which details additional requirements for telecom equipment. The earlier parts of these standards also apply, including the 10N force tests. If the 10N force test makes sense for typical working voltages of 120V or 230V, it certainly makes

RE: 10 N force Test on Internal Components Prior to Overvoltage Tests

If the test is failing due to reduced spacings would that not already be considered non compliant by Clause 2.9? If this is not the case, applying the force prior to the overvoltage test may be considered a double fault condition. Best Regards, Jody Leber jle...@ustech-lab.com

Hi All Due to local demand for the test, we have started to conduct conducted emission tests on dc supply lines to the equipment. The reason why it is demanded is that in a telecoms centre one does not have the equipment connected to a dc battery. It is most of the time connected in parallel

Vitaly, Actually it is the other way around. As a former bureaucrat, must is definitely clearer. In the US government, when something is mandatory, the term is WILL as in: the distance will be at least three meters etc. (SEE MIL STD 461) One of the reasons that that the

Re: 10 N force Test on Internal Components Prior to Overvoltage Tests

Hi Peter: There are two schools of thought: 1) Clearance is an independent, stand-alone criterion. 2) Clearance determines electric strength of air and is an alternate means for determining the electric strength of air. If you are in the first school, then there is no reason
