OFF is zero

2002-10-18 Thread Rich Nute

Peter, You are right, the standard does address movable equipment, but movable equipment is not even mentioned with regard to the stability tests of 4.1. It only uses the term relative to fire enclosure and leakage current. The stability tests are essentially unchanged since the larger

If the cart can be used with the battery charger in place, I would also do it to EN55014 (since, I assume, that it is basically a motor driven device). Then harmonics and flicker would apply as well. Bob Heller 3M Product Safety, 76-1-01 St. Paul, MN 55107-1208 Tel: 651- 778-6336 Fax:

Bob, You state: Note that 60950 stability requirements are intended to address equipment which is not in motion. I disagree. Parag. 1.2.3.1 of the 60950 standard defines monable equipment as one that is either - 18 kg or less in mass and not fixed, or - equipment with wheels, castors, or
