Re: [PSES] UNECE R10.05 vehicle conducted emission

2019-09-23 Thread David Schaefer
Charlie, You are correct. ECE R10.05 requires conducted emissions for AC mains connected electric vehicles, just like any other mains product. For products using DC mains, the test is required using a CISPR 25 LISN instead of the CISPR 16 used for AC mains. There is no requirement for

[PSES] Grounding of metal cabinet

A flexible 1-phase AC cable is entering a metal cabinet and the PE-wire is directly connected to an Earth terminal block (green/yellow). Some years ago, a safety engineer told me that the earth wire should first be connected to a ground stud inside the cabinet via a lug terminal climp and

Our safety regulators have insisted that power cord safety ground/earth go first to the metal chassis, with rare exceptions.  Exception, the majority of chassis is plastic, with internal metal structures to tie it all together. Only the screw heads are exposed and tied to some of the internal

The question is how the cabinet is earthed if the PE wire goes to a terminal block. If  a wire comes out of the terminal block to a stud on the cabinet, that is less reliable than a solid connection.  I suggest you take the advice. It doesn't apply if the 'terminal block' is  not an insulating
