Situation: Piece of equipment measures over
3.5 milli-amps for earth leakage test:
According to EN-60950
"5.2.5: Equipment with an earth leakage current
exceeding 3,5 mA
CLASS I STATIONARY that is PERMANENTLY CONNECTED
EQUIPMENT, or that is PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT TYPE B ... "
then three conditions follow one of which is
labeling requirements.
Definition of PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT TYPE B
is located in 1.2.5.2.
Questions: If you claim your equipment is
pluggable type equipment type A:
Definition of pluggable type equipment
type A is located in 1.2.5.1.
Are you exempt from 5.2.5 ???
Are you allowed to use IEC-320 connectors?
What really constitutes the difference between
pluggable type equipment type A versus pluggable
type equipment type B? Just the plug?
Or better, what is the spirit behind all this?
Do you have to state this in product material
to the customer?
