Did I miss something along the way? Did Germany delete the Equipment Safety Law of 24 June 1968 and ammended 13th August 1980? Article 3 of the law says, The manufacturer or importer of technical equipment may only display or put into circulation if it is of such a nature, in accordance with the

Dave, Mr Jensen, Dave, your remark about gas discharge tubes would certainly lead to problems in AC mains supplied systems, as upon ignition of the gas, at least a full AC half period will discharge to ground, triggering any diff. mode switches (what their name in US ?) if you are lucky or

Hello Richard, No other requirements are necessary for your products then manufacturers declaration, based on EMC and/or LVD requirements/tests, who are backed up by appropriate standards to attach the ce-mark and export to europe. Make sure safety instructions are in the right European language.

The best way to design a filter is to establish the performance criteria first. Determine the source impedance Determine the load impedance Determine the attenuation required and at what frequency Determine the roll-off required Now you can determine what order filter you need and whether it is

Mr. Jenson, The MOV solution will take care of the line-line surge, but don't forget the common mode component of this test. This is usually much more difficult to handle. You are not allowed to use MOVs from line to ground because of leakage (at least in AC systems). The biggest problem is

Hello Mr jensen Just add a MOV between the phases. A 20 mm disc type will survive both type testing and real life surges. The smaller ones risc failure in testing if that is done according to the proposed test schedules (due to the limited number of pulses they can absorb). 50% reduction of

Dear groupe, Does anyone have some good idears about designing a simple filter for surges (the kind of surges that comes from testing according to IEC 61000-4-5) I was thinking about using an inductor, a capacitor and a MOV. But, what is the requirements for the inductor ? and will it
