RE: LISN Calibration

John's concern (see attached email at the end) is on target, but there is a solution. I have the isolation transformer wired so that line and neutral from the wall outlet connect to the primary side. The windings ratio then provides a step-up so that I get 230VAC across the secondary (this is

For an IT product there is a restriction in the use of mains cords with a cross sectional area of 0.75mm2 for units up to 6 amps when the cord is greater than 2m in length (EN60950: 2000 section 3.2.5) I am curious as to the hazard that is prevented by this length

Hi Stephen, Yes, table 1 outlines 4kV contact and 8kV air, Criterion B. Section 4.2.1 also goes on to clarify where (or where not) to apply either contact or air discharges and how many to apply. Regards, Jeff Bailey Compliance Engineering SST - A Division of Woodhead Canada Phone: (519)

Re: German Translation

Hi Richard, Gefährdungen or Gefaehrdungen is the German wird for Danger (Peril) This form is the plural form, singular is Gefährdung, the noun is Gefahr. Word for word pedantic translation would give something like endangering. If it is for a manual translation, Danger is the best choice,

'Gefährdungen' is the plural 'die Gefährdung' meaning endangering or imperiling I'm not sure there is a good English equivalent, 'endangerings' is the litteral translation. David -Original Message- From: Stephen Phillips [mailto:step...@cisco.com] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 8:57

I'm just guessing, but one detail that may have impeded your search (assuming you were searching in English, not German, French, etc.) is that in UK English, warranty/warranties is/are _usually_ called Guarantee/Guarantees. It is a good general point to bear in mind when searching EU and other

Almost certainly the answer will be found in BS1363 Part 1, Specification for rewirable and non-rewirable 13A fused plugs. (I assume you are referring to UK plugs, as I don't know of any other plug with a fuse). My copy of BS1363 is rather old, but there is a table which shows a 3A (5A) fuse

RE: 24 Mo. Warranty for the EU

Andy, I believe that this is still at the discussion stage. At the moment, each EU country has its own set of consumer protection laws. In most cases, the warranty, which is usually 12 months, is part of the product marketing, rather than an obligation. This usually gives the consumer rights
