We have Velcro on the the styrofoam cosmetic panels supplied in our chamber. It works OK if you use lots of Velcro and the tile surface is very clean. I think the chamber vendor used acetone to clean the tile before applying the Velcro strips. Velcro is not really an inexpensive option (go to

Hi Peter: Well, can you share how your compliant products (ie double insulated to earth Class I products) comply at the transistor/earthed heat sink interface? Do you have at least two layers of insulation where each layer meets the reinforced insulation dielectric strength test requirements?

Just my old British 2d's worth but... In my experience it is better to conform by the book to as much stuff as you can. If this means fitting IEC127 fuses to 230V versions and UL248 fuses to 120V versions so be it. Why? Because it gives you scope to get test labs to allow marginal temperature
