5085-3/CSA No66.3 scoped only where class 2 or 3 stuff is required, and generally not considered for industrial environment where the secondary circuit not exposed. Other than Class 2 would be scoped by UL1012 and CSA107.1. For industrial control transformers, the scoped standard would probably

I'd restate Dave's case below to say: PE's are really only required for Public Sector work. Industrial/commercial products are certified (where necessary) by NRTL testing, and - as Brian has noted - by application of CEC/NEC. Brian Kunde's situation appears to be that NEC and CEC have confli

Greetings, Interesting thread. I normally design SMPS, but went through this exercise a few months back with a 15kVA transformer. RK5 class fuses seem to me to be able to handle large inrush that a transformer will source. Thermal circuit breakers are slow to respond and may provide the del
