Halogen free cables for the EU

2002-08-23 Thread David Heald
Does anyone know where the halogen restrictions for wire insulation in the EU come from? I remember dealing with this issue sometime in the last few years, but now I can't remember where the actual requirement came from. Also, does anyone know if the Halogen restrictions only apply to, say,

Hi John: True SELV . requires double or reinforced insulation from hazardous live parts/parts at hazardous voltages [different expressions used for the same things] and basic insulation from earth. '950 SELV' allows SELV circuits to be earthed (see 2.2.3.3 of IEC60950:1999 or

Hi John: Y-caps have enough margin to easily withstand the 4300 V dc without damage. Without immediate failure, no doubt. But such a huge overstress may cause latent damage that later results in failure, and, since IEC 60384 doesn't call for such an over-voltage test,
