Is it Safe?

2000-05-15 Thread Muriel Bittencourt de Liz
Hello Group, I'd like to know if is it safe for somebody to have his office 7 meters away from a high voltage line (132KV, 50Hz)?? The working time of the person is 8 hours a day. Thanks in advance Muriel --- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society

Hi Doug: Does this section mean to say that the voltage on internal SELV may in fact go higher than the 71V Peak and 120 V DC for a short time? Naturally, The standard says: In a single circuit... other parts of the same circuit do not comply with all of the requirements

IEC950 is not officially withdrawn yet. We received a draft CB-scheme test report February 2000 based on IEC 950, with 97-06 amendments. EN 60950 is based on IEC 950. Eventually IEC 950 will become IEC60950 to simplify the numerology. Provisional and draft documents

Voltages under single fault conditions

Hello group, My company manufactures high energy power conversion equipment and we often deal with insulation between mains voltages and SELV as well as high voltage outputs and SELV. During part of our type testing we simulate single fault conditions such as a breakdown of basic or

Thanks a lot for your inputs. All responses to my second question are only concerned with the inductance due to “long” distance between chip and decap. Nobody seems to agree imposing another constrain to the distance. My question was “Do we really have to limit the distance letting the charge

My advise is to have your products evaluated/tested to the old and new standards, and have this documented on your test report.I've done this before with UL standards.I've not had this experience with a CB Scheme report, but I fail to see why that should not be allowed.Later, when
