So is an ethernet line considered disabled when disconnected since it will drop the link (although it keeps trying to establish link and resume the idle data pattern? Gary - Original Message - From: Mike Hopkins mailto:michael.hopk...@thermo.com To: Konrad Stefanski

Hi Sam: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the point of the type-level hipot test is not to simulate a real-life condition (like surge protection), but to simulate years of insulation degradation, which happens with or without surge protection. I disagree. Primary circuits are subject

Interesting story. I wonder though if the result of the risk assessment would have been It takes 2 faults for this to be hazardous, so probability of occurrence is low, and we don't need to act on it. Since most product safety standards consider safety to be adequate with only single fault

There are couplers available from a number of manufacturers; however, none work at data rates much above 100kHz. For that reason, the current draft of 61000-4-5 revision 2 (not yet circulated) inlcudes the following -- keep in mind, it is an EARLY draft, but it will appear in a CD by the end of

Prices depend on the design: Some contain coupling and backfilter elements for 4 lines plus circuitry to allow coupling using either capacitors (still the preferred method in 61000-4-5) or arrestors. They also allow the addition of clamps of various levels to reduce or eliminate surges back to

This subject is also close to the top of my list of things to investigate... I've recently priced out a professional coupling network and to my surprise it weighed in with a hefty 10k (canadian) price tag. Does anyone have any reference designs for their own home grown solutions that they would

Why don’t you try surge arrestors to coupling the surges to the equipment? Use one whit 90V or less. To decouple the surge from the AE use a common mode chock. Sérgio L. Rocha Loures IC SC QP Q - Quality Assurance Supply Chain - Quality and Processes SIEMENS (Tel: +55 41 341-5898

Hello list. What is the simplest way to couple Surge pulses (EN 61000-4-5) with telecomunication lines? I haven't got proffesional coupling network. And the second question, what is the simplest way to measure voltage of disturbances from telecomunication lines without proffesional ISN?
