Re: [PSES] Low Power exemption for ATEX / IECEx
Maybe a clarification sheet for IEC 60079-15 is needed. Best regards Helge Knudsen Denmark From: John Cochran [mailto:jcoch...@strongarm.com] Sent: 28. september 2015 03:31 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Low Power exemption for ATEX / IECEx In IEC 60079-15 Clause 13, Low power device or components are exempt from evaluation of creepage and clearance, as defined in Clause 6.4 of the standard. I designed a computer system which uses an i7 quad-core CPU module (COMe). The problem is the module draws 37W of power, and Note 1 in Clause 13 states Low power is typically considered 20W or less. The word typically bothers me, but also the fact some competitors have gotten their systems certified with a 45W i7 quad-core CPU. The notified body we are using is insisting that our CPU cannot be approved. Does anyone in the group have experience with certifying a higher wattage CPU module for international hazardous locations?

With the chattering relay in the box minus the lid and near a small AM radio, it tore up AM reception, but gently putting the lid on it (no fasteners per my recollection) was enough to kill the interference completely. My recollection is that 3M did not go into production with that material, else I would be looking for it there. The need is for a small conductive enclosure for harsh environments where a layer of deposited conductive material is undesirable. Further, I do not want a manufacturing process that requires laborious removal of the outer insulating material where the sides of the box overlap and need to make a conductive seam. I am willing to give up quite a bit of conductivity relative to a deposited layer of metal or metallic coating in order to get this magical homogenously conductive material. Any one know of anything like this, or is it unobtainium? Thank you, Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.

I would hope that any one language within the community would be acceptable for the DOC, and English would be the easiest language for American companies to use. 3. If a member state does want a DOC in a language other than English, would they the English version immediately and then allow the manufacturer time to translate the DOC like a period of two months?

CENELEC has produced a CD, 'Primer on Standards', which will probably tell you more than you ever needed to know. Go to http://www.cenelec.org take a large patience pill and search for the CD title. You MAY be able to buy it on line. Briefly, much of the work is updating existing standards, but a new proposal for a standard has to be approved by the national (standards) committees of enough countries. They, and others, then send 'experts' >from industry (mostly), academia, test houses and sometimes regulatory organizations, to Working Groups (some have different titles). These groups prepare a draft of the new standard, which is sent to the national committees for comment. The comments are them considered and compromises, corrections and negotiations take place. This process may be repeated. Then, a final draft is circulated to the national committees for voting. If it passes, it is subject to a second voting process, and if that is passed, it is published. After a time period (3 to 12 years) specified when the standard is published, it may be withdrawn, amended or fully revised. Note that 'Brussels', the European Commission, 'Geneva' and IEC staff don't figure directly in the above processes. Most of the work is done by experts from industry, who do generally know what they are talking about, but often can't write it clearly enough, being engineers and not literary scholars. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?

SV: VG95373 - advice needed
Hello Alan, There is no EN standard covering the same subject as this German Military standard, full title: VG 95373-15, "Electromagnetic Compatibility-Electromagnetic Compatibility of Equipment-Part 15: Test Method for Coupling and Screening," Germany, February 1997. VG 95373 Part 15. This German military standard describes the shielding effectiveness of enclosures. The standard covers the frequency range above 30 MHz; between the frequency range of 30 and 200 MHz, a minimum antenna-to-enclosure separation distance of 2.5 m is specified. This distance can be reduced to 1 m for frequencies greater than 200 MHz. The test method specifies that a receiving antenna-which must be small compared with the enclosure under test-be built into the enclosure for the test. Although there are technical problems with this standard, it is currently the only standard applicable to small- and medium-sized enclosures. It is not surprising that the test method described in VG 95373 Part 15 (or variations of it) is used for shielding-effectiveness evaluation of small- and medium-sized enclosures and is favored by manufacturers of conductive plastic enclosures You may more information on the subject on: http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/01/Spring/Ogunsola.html Best regards Helge Knudsen Test & Approval manager Niros Telecommunication Hirsemarken 5 DK-3520 Farum Denmark Tel +45 44 34 22 51 Fax +45 44 99 28 08 email h.knud...@niros.com Fra: Hudson, Alan [mailto:alan.hud...@amsjv.com] Sendt: 27. maj 2003 10:00 Til: EMC-pstc (E-mail) Emne: VG95373 - advice needed G'Day!

I am not near a spectrum usage chart, but clearly 87-108 is the FM broadcast band, and therefore no one else is transmitting at these frequencies, except at very low power. If the other bands listed are also restricted to broadcasters of a certain power, and you can calculate that the closest you might ever approach the source would limit you to a 3 V/m exposure, then the relaxation would make sense. Like I said though, just a guess. on 3/3/03 8:01 AM, Gordon,Ian at ian.gor...@edwards.boc.com wrote: > > Everybody > Can you advise me as to whether the same reduction in field strength is > available when applying the industrial immunity requirements of EN61326 as > when applying the generic industrial immunity standard EN61000-6-2. > EN61000-6-2 permits a reduction in field strength from 10 to 3 V/m over the > following frequency ranges : > 87 - 108 MHz > 174 - 230 MHz > 470 - 790 MHz > > Furthermore, I have never been able to work out why there is a relaxation at > these freqs.

Hello Don and other interested members of EMC ESPC, Basic standards are not harmonized in EU, therefore there is not published a list. It is however possible to see the status of a specific standard by searching on the Cenelec homepage, try: http://www.cenelec.org/BASIS/celis/free/project/SF Here the magic date "dow" is given, this is the date when the new standard or amendment shall be used. The new standard or amendment may by used from the dop date. It should however be noted, that this date only have effect if the basic standard reference is undated in the specific product standard.

Vedr.: Re: EN55011 Group 1 and Group 2
Hello Bruce and EMC-ESPC Group, The latest draft on next edition of (EN/) IEC 61800-3 is using the CISPR 11 Class A group 2 limits for power drive systems to be used in "Second environment" = Industrial use. The radiated emission limits are 40 dB from 30 - 230 MHz and 50 dB from 230 - 1000 MHz with 30 meter measuring distance. Those limits are derived from CISPR, 11 Table 5 - Electromagnetic radiation disturbance limits for Group 2 Class A equipment. So, someone (producers of power drive system?) do want to use at least a part of the CISPR 11 Group 2 Class A test for power drives. If some of you are interested in reading this new proposal you must get from your local IEC Committee, document reference: IEC/22G/73/CD. Best regards Helge Knudsen Delta Electronics Testing, EMC Venlighedsvej 4, DK-2970 Hoersholm Telephone : +45 45 86 77 22 Fax : +45 45 86 58 98 >>> 15-11-00 06:07 >>> Since there are no comments on this so far, I thought I would put my 2 cents in.It seems to me that motor drives would be in group 1, keeping in mind the first paragraph of appendix A where it says "for testing purposes the equipment is to be defined in terms of the purpose for which it was designed" Also, I believe the power drive system product family EMC standard, EN 61800-3:1996 uses limits similar to EN 55011 group 1(I don't have this standard in front of me so please correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm also curious why someone would want want to be in group 2 because this requires an additional magnetic field (table 5 of EN 55011) test down to 150khz that could be difficult for Power inverters.

Dear group, The use of ground choke in conducted measurements was specified in "Verfügerung 1046/1982" when testing to comply with VDE 0871 if the measured noise was closer to the limit than 5 dB. This second measurement must then also comply with the limit. The value of this ground conductor choke was specified to 1.6 mH. I believe the reason for this sophisticated measurement were required because the inductance in ground lead in really live may increase the noise level with several dB's. I hope this clarified the matter.

Some power supplies would in fact give different results if the ground was opened. An aside: I used to work at Tandy Computer's R&D. When Tandy quit making computers (and I was laid off), I was able to buy a Rhode and Schwarz LISN they scrapped -- for $25. It has the ground switch Muriel describes. When I bought it for Tandy, it cost much, much more! Cortland - This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.

CISPR 22:1997
Dear EMC-PSTC Group, In the new CISPR 22:1997 there are specified measurement of conducted disturbances at telecommunication ports, 5.2 table 3 and 4. The measurement procedure is described in 9.5, Measurement of disturbance at telecommunication ports. The suitable ISN's are described in Annex D, Schematic diagrams of impedance stabilisation networks. A. Does anyone have experience with building such ISN's - And using them? B. Does anyone have knowledge of whether such ISN's are commercial available, and if yes, where to buy them? Any comment to the issue will be appreciated.
