Re: [PSES] [EXTERNAL] [PSES] High voltage versus High tension

2020-08-03 Thread Ted Eckert 
Hello Regan,

I’ve only seen “high tension” in reference to overhead power lines. I cannot 
recall the term ever being used with equipment. There may be a more basic 
question than whether or not it would be accepted by an NRTL during a field 
evaluation. Would the meaning of a label stating “high tension” be clear to the 
user? Warning labels should be as clear as possible and intuitively understood. 
Most Americans likely wouldn’t know what the hazard would be if a piece of 
equipment was marked “high tension”.

Best regards,
Ted Eckert

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PSES] High voltage versus High tension

Hi folks,
I never encountered this before but am curious if anyone had any problems in 
using the European verbiage ‘High Tension’ in lieu of ‘High voltage’ during 
their 61010 assessment on their labels and documentation.
Unless I am mistaken on the Group & National differences, IEC 61010-1 does not 
mention anything specific on allowing this alternative language.
I also want to know if ‘High tension’ would be a problem in the USA and Canada 
during a Field evaluation or NRTL certification? (I only ask to avoid having 2 
labels/wording on a global product)
Thanks for sharing any experiences you had.

Re: [PSES] High voltage versus High tension

The terms are international, not just EU.
If you look in the IEC Electropedia terms and definitions there is

en
high voltage
high tension
HV
voltage having a value above a conventionally adopted limit
Note – An example is the set of upper voltage values used in bulk power 
systems.

[SOURCE: 601-01-27 MOD]

fr
haute tension  f
HT  f
tension électrique de valeur supérieure à une limite adoptée par 
convention
Note – Un exemple est l'ensemble des tensions les plus élevées utilisées 
dans les réseaux de production-transport d'énergie électrique.

[SOURCE: 601-01-27 MOD]

In IEC English you can use high voltage or high tension, but in French 
there is only haute tension

Not at all helpful, but I have always wondered why, if we speak of high
voltage, we don¹t also speak of high amperage and high ohmage?

Back in early 1980’s during CSA investigation, they had me use “Haute Tension” 
for French translation for “high voltage”.
