Worldly Experts, I am looking for recommendations/experiences relating to list based radiated emissions measurement software. This will be used in an OATS environment where trace based software does not work well due to ambient signals. I will be driving either a RS or Keysight (aka

[PSES] Plugs in South Africa

Group,A few questions on South Africa power plugs. I have been looking through SANS 164 described plugs and it appears that SANS 164-2 Sheet 2-7 describes the Europlug mechanically, though not by direct reference to CEE 7/16.. Does anyone know if a class II household appliance with a Europlug is

Dan, South Africa uses the old British Empire plug that is also used in India. When we were there in 2005 for the CISPR meetings that was the only socket I saw. Granted, that was 9 years ago, but I doubt the country has made a major change in that time. Ghery S. Pettit From: Dan Roman,

Hi Charles, UL 60950-1 Annex NAE 3.2.5 states that the power cord length must be between 1.5 and 4.5 meters. The 4.5 meter maximum is from NFPA 70 Article 645.5(B). Although Annex NAE states that the 1.5 meter minimum also comes from the NEC, I can't find it. I may just be missing it. I

Actually Ghery, a lot is going to change. South Africa has a 10-20 year plan to completely move away from the old BS 546 style plug. That just was regulated recently so not much has probably changed just yet. They have a lot of different plug types in their SANS 164 standards and I am trying to
