Brian - The requirement from CSA 22.2 No. 0.4 is now part and parcel of the CSA/UL version of 60950-1. The 40 A current you mention below is based a 20A branch circuit and applies to mains PE. The current value used and the duration of the test are dependent on the circuit size. For instance,

Hi everybody, I guess this is more of a safety thing, but I am sure that somebody here can help me out. I am interested in finding out what kind of test standards are used for devices that are designed to be placed in an automobile. More specifically, I am interested in what standards

All, I know that most of the general population is aware of the UL mark applied to almost all appliances, equipment, etc, and that UL is the accepted safety marked to have on a company's product, at least here in the USA . However, because of UL's reduction in staff ( which is causing huge

In college I had summer work in a metrology lab where I learned about the real world. I would caution anyone attempting 2 milliohm measurements to proceed with caution. Technology has made it easy for most anyone to make repeatable 50-100 milliohm measurements. However, accurate measurements in

I disagree in principle with the other recommendations made for specific meters. Nothing against the meters or the manufacturers, but there is no simple answer. The answer depends on what you want your bond to do for you. A 2.5 milliohm bond might be a class R bond, or class A or class L

Sir Even with Kelvin leads, ground continuity measurements, even using a really nice digital multimeter, may not be appropriate if you are testing for compliance to an IEC60950-based standard. Also, milliohm-ranged measurements tend to be susceptible to each individual's technique. Note that
