I notice pirates don’t use good grammar (Are documents are protected ..) and they don’t take American Express! Seriously folks, however you feel about the standards, what is really at risk from places like this is your credit card numbers. The standards may not even be real, and the only

[PSES] DO-160G Interpretation

2012-05-09 Thread Ken Wyatt
Hi Group, I have a client that makes air conditioners for aircraft. They need to replace an obsolete fan (no longer available) with a newer version. Both versions have been tested for CE and RE and both pass the Category M limits by very good margins. Here's where it gets interesting and

Ken: I have never had to do anything for DO-160 testing other than report test data taken in a lab environment. The most recent test I did was to prove that an RFID would go into a prolonged sleep mode when a box of maybe a few hundred of them was loaded as cargo on a commercial airliner. As

Sounds to me like that DER is right on top of things. But the simplest path to clearing the aircraft with the new subsystem isn¹t listed. Perform a spectrum analyzer survey of the critical radios and look at the margin between coupled noise from the old system to these radios vs. the radio noise

[PSES] Hipot with in-circuit voltage limiting devices IEC 61010-1 3rd Ed.

A change was made in 3rd Ed. for routine mains hipot tests while clamping devices are still in the circuit; specifically clause F.3.2 (Ed. 3). The standard states the test can be carried out at 0.9 times the clamping voltage of the device and not less than twice the working voltage. Edition 2

Clamping voltage is the MOV voltage under specified surge conditions. Typically that will be an 8/20 impulse. IEC 61643-331, ed. 1.0 (2003-05) clamping voltage VC peak voltage across the MOV measured under conditions of a specified peak pulse current (IP) and specified waveform Your 1 mA
