Go ahead and put it on the pwb. We do it anf it works very well. There is a caveat though - pay a lot of attention to the layout and final installation. -Original Message- From: POWELL, DOUG [mailto:doug.pow...@aei.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 10:16 AM To: EMC-PSTC (E-mail);

Hi Doug! Ignoring the EMC questions (as I can safely do, being a product safety division engineer at TUV!) the enclosure of the open frame supply would have to meet the same safety requirements as any other enclosure around a hazardous voltage circuit. The creepage and clearance distances

Hello Doug, I think the enclosure of EMI filters is necessary. The enclosure (normally metallic and, if the filter should work well, connected to ground) prevents, that for example by radiation, disturbing signals could get into your filtered equipment. The filter would be bypassed. Regards

Doug, We have a piece of I.T.E. equipment that we designed that has dual power supplies with an EMI filter on the AC input of both supplies. We designed our own filters for this particular unit. They are simply small through-hole PC Boards (about 1 x 4) with the components (inductors and
