RE: Inrush and EN61000-3-3

2002-09-11 Thread Lesmeister, Glenn
I guess you could argue that inrush (or startup) current is a voltage change that was never specifically ignored by the standard and thus is covered. In this case, I think some of the test equipment manufacturers missed the boat by not providing a specific procedure for capturing this.

Sorry, a completely different issue. Can anyone explain the relevance of IEC60799 with respect to ITE detachable power supply cords? This standard is not referenced in IEC60950, however, it is in the OJ. I don't have this document, so I don't know what is specifically in the scope. I have

Joshua, This is indeed the test method and it is in the amendment to 61000-3-3. It has been suggested that this new requirement is intended to specifically address inrush current because the original standard was unclear about this and there was no specific test method for it. However, the

Does anyone know if it is common practice or otherwise required to de-rate products in Europe to 80% (or some other %) of the rating of the branch circuit as is done in the US? Some product standards (such as 61000-3-2) apply to products rated up to 16A, so it would appear that products can be

I think they have done a pretty good job describing this in the 3rd edition of 60950, see 3.1.9. The 2nd edition seems only to regard this as applicable to primary power terminals (3.3.4). This is probably why the agencies had to apply their own interpretations (i.e. UL PAGs) over the years.
