Question:& O3 w* f; j& d! U+ ^% O
Reports from different Testing Laboratories and clients expose essential differences in interpretation and testing practice between laboratories and/or Certification Bodies.- w3 _4 n5 e+ e; |6 h/ ^" O) c
Actually, the practice of one Certification Body is now being a market factor.: Z. p' ?* M1 s
Based on above concerns we ask for clarification:7 H: k/ m5 b8 [4 ` Q9 g
1: Shall Cl. 19.11 be strictly followed or can solutions given under 2. be accepted.$ u# P4 [* Y( |
2: Can any of the decisions (made by OSM/EE) be accepted?
( g' G5 \+ X6 t# {8 r% Z5 o- A: VDR’s across the mains are accepted if the VDR is separately certified according to IEC 61051-1 or according to CECC 42200.1 |9 E+ u: _) @# G( F
- B: VDR across the mains with a protective device to guard against short-circuit is acceptable.* y( ~' o8 Q( V1 r; |4 h
- C: If A and B are acceptable, should, because of the fact that VDR’s may burn or burst during life-time due to an increasing temperature stress caused by increase of leakage current with a number of switching cycles in the VDR, a thermal interrupting device on the VDR connected in series with the VDR be required.- x5 }* A* u9 Y0 z: H5 I" }/ b* K
Decision:
- c Y, ]5 | i- Y$ a5 v, F1. VDR’s are not short-circuited if they are used within their manufacturer’s declared specification, when tested according to Sub-clause 19.11.2 of IEC60335-1(1991).
