Hello Treggers, I have been told by one of our parts vendors that it is acceptable to replace components between the different surge waveforms when doing testing to sec.4 table 4-2 for first level lightning surges. Their rationale is that the components are being stressed by the previous tests. I am not convinced. I thought that each test sample should withstand all of the surges. I don't want to take the vendor's word alone because it is their parts that are failing.
Any similar experiences or comments would be appreciated. Rich Kalian [email protected]
