Hi Ken:
Here are some quotes:

Q: Aren't these ovens tuned to a special frequency so they only heat
water?
A: No. The usual operating frequency of a microwave oven is nowhere
near the resonant frequency of water, and the
While we're on the topic, I have a question (actually a couple) regarding
air discharge. Since contact discharge is the preferred method, as stated
in an earlier message and in EN61000-4-2, Paragraph 5, why would one perform
the Air Discharge method? The same paragraph states Air discharges
Someone on this forum likely knows the answer to this question...
I was at Wal-Mart the other day and they had 2.4 GHz cordless phones on
clearance. My home cordless phones are 900 MHz. One is multiple channels,
the other is some kind of spread spectrum. 2.4 GHz is very close to 2450
MHz, the
I understood that only one company world wide had the patent for making the mercury wetted relay used in contact discharge ciruits, ABB if I remember correctly. I alos understood that these arc over at levels above 8 Kv.
Is there a higher voltage offering available elsewhere?

Hi Terry and the group,
Besides the question of finding a generator that can reach the level you
mention, I am not aware of any natural ESD event that approaches the
interference potential of even an 8 kV contact discharge. The problem
comes in that high voltage air discharges have relatively
I'd like to add to George's great post.
Having done this type of reporting only once long ago with another
company far away, thank God, I reduced it as much as possible to
a typical UL type standard: construction and performance, with
some additional info.
Did the incident involve the

CONTACT discharge.
I agree, your client _probably_ meant air, but better to ask.
Nevertheless, as I recall, NoiseKen makes an ESD tester that does 16kV
contact / 30kV air.

Ed,
After recent inquiry, I found that an alternate way to get access to Free
Mil specs from the following website is to just put the numerical number of
the spec in the document number block. I am forwarding this bit of info
per recent request.

Greetings,
We are in need of safety guidance in the final design of and the specifying
parts for an electronic ballast to be used in an ITE product. UL / EN 60950.
I have guided many products through UL Listing using recognized parts and
supplies. But I don't have the time for any
Hello again:
Does anyone recall if there were any standard called for or ESD generator that
simulated as the case may be = +-10 kV CONTACT discharge.
We have a customer that is specifying passing +-16 kV ESD without referring to
AIR or Contact discharge. I am inclined to ask what they have
Hello Richard,
If you need details re the Recall aspect, visit the Safety Link
www.safetylink.com and using your browser's Find in Page tool, search
for the term recall handbook. This will take you to a link to CPSC's
handbook on this subject.
Searching on the term recall will yield a link to
Very good ideas, George, and we have implemented most of these in our
information gathering phase. We are not clear as to what is necessary and
sufficient information for the final report, especially when someone is
claiming injury or property damage and no fault is found. I just posted in
Stig, we put together a reporting process and that is working well and we
have been generating reports. But we have asked ourselves what information
is necessary and sufficient for the report. We based our process on
information in the following books.

You have raised a very important question that many of us must deal with
in some way. I note you have received no replies via the listserver. I
know of no documented legal requirements for the incident investigation
process, although OHSA, CPSC, and others may have documented requirements

RSS stands for Radio Standards Specification and RSS210 covers Unlicensed
Low power transmitting devices ( All Bands) . I can send you the PDF file if
you wish.
The Industry Canada web site has most of these specs and RSS 139 is one I'm
not familiar with but I will obtain the title for you.

Hello Group -
In the UL IQ for Plastics database, the CTI values are given as a single
digit number, 0 thru 5. I know that the scale correlates to 100 V thru 600
V, but I forget which way it goes. Does CTI of 5 = 600 V, or is it the other
way around? Is this scale given in UL746A or IEC 60112 ?
Peter,
RSS 210 is the Industry Canada radio standard for Low Power License-Exempt
Radiocommunications Devices(All Frequency Bands).
RSS 139 is the Industry Canada radio standard for Licensed
Radiocommunication devices in the Band of 2400-2483.5 MHz.
