A mil product has to meet a mil limit, such as MIL-STD-461, DEF STAN 59-411, some NATO STANAG, something. But not CE, and also whether or not ROHS applies it is hardly an alternative for some sort of EMC qualification. Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 From: Amund Westin

Concur, as tolerance is not same stuff as uncertainty. But have seen uncertainty calculations as an additional requirement in some customer specs where MS461 was the referenced standard. Just use the test lab's numbers that are on their ISO17025 registration, which Mr. Javor referenced for

I'm not unsure. Class A is for heavy industry, powered from MV or higher, with no broadcast receivers likely within 30 m. The real difference between Europe and the Americas is that in Europe, there is a vain attempt to prohibit the use of Class A devices out of industrial areas, whereas in

Jamison, IMO, it’s the sharing of the supply with domestic establishments that is the key to the application of the definition of the classes. Clearly, a large industrial facility could be fed at MV and have MV loads as well as LV loads, so the question of whether there is a substation or not

1. Yes. 2. Original statement is true only if the substation output is at MV or higher. If it is at LV, the location is strictly RCLI (residential, commercial and light industrial). a) In most countries in Europe, yes, but in France there are some separate industrial LV networks. You have

Interesting. In North America, it’s not uncommon to see multi-unit industrial buildings where the supply is shared, so this would be Class A under EN 55011 as there is no domestic establishments sharing the supply, but reasonably could be called as RCLI I think, despite that. We also see
