A Compliance Guide to Electrical Safety -For Ce Marking by Chetan Kathalay Pdf

This book deals with safety requirements of the low voltage directive which is an integral part of CE marking of electrical and electronic equipment. It discusses the CE marking process in general and the low voltage directive in particular. It is an outcome of a long standing demand for book that addresses the problems that manufacturers encounter during their first safety assessment. It provides a step-by-step approach for equipment safety design and assessment for electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical products and machines. It describes the principles of safety and requirements as found in the international IEC and European harmonized standards. Its goal is to give equipment designers and manufacturers a better understanding of safety considerations and safety philosophy and to enable them to design a product compliant to the requirements of European and international safety standards.

Electrical Safety and the Law by Ken Oldham Smith,John M. Madden Pdf

This book summarises the British legislation covering electrical safety, including those regulations derived from European directives. It also addresses the legislation relating to the supply and use of safety-related electrotechnical control systems, particularly on machinery. As well as describing the legal framework, and the main legal duties and applicable standards, the book describes electrical hazards and how they arise; the types of accidents and dangerous occurrences associated with the use of electricity; the main safety precautions and protection techniques; testing and maintenance of electrical systems; safety during testing work; the safety of electrical installations and equipment used in flammable atmospheres; and the particular risks associated with underground cables and construction activity. The Fourth Edition has been completely rewritten and expanded to include . legislation (such as the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1999), standards and guidance material issued or amended since the last edition. . a new chapter on safety related electrotechnical control systems, incorporating commentary on BS EN 954-1 and BS IEC 61508, the main generic standards addressing the safety integrity of such systems. . a new chapter on the competence of practitioners working with electrical systems and safety-related control systems.

CE MARKING -OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS by CHETAN KATHALAY Pdf

This book gives a step-by-step approach to CE marking of electrical and electronic equipment including risk assessment. It covers, in detail, five important directives viz. low voltage directive (LVD), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directive, medical devices directive (MDD), radio equipment directive (RED) and the RoHS directive. It provides insights into product design and test methodologies especially EMC and product SAFETY so that the product meets the technical requirements of the applicable standards. It also seeks to clarify the many doubts and misconceptions about CE marking. The book begins with a chapter that introduces the reader to the nuances of the CE marking process, the conformity assessment modules and to compile supporting documents that illustrate the process. This is followed by the chapter on product safety which describes the principles of safety as found in the international IEC and European harmonized safety standards. It provides ways and means to improve product design so as to ensure reasonable compliance when a product is subject to safety evaluation by a test laboratory. Then, there are two chapters dedicated to EMC. One explains the EMC fundamentals, standards and the test methodology while the other deals with EMC design. The design chapter contains ways and means to incorporate EMC measures like line filters, shielding, grounding and cable routing at the design stage so that the product can comply with the EMC tests with a minimum of iterations. The design means discussed are very practical in nature and are given in such a way that the design engineer can immediately incorporate them without worrying too much about theory. All the directives now-a-days require a detailed risk assessment to be carried out in addition to testing as per standards. Thereafter the risk assessment needs to be documented so as to demonstrate how the risks have been reduced/eliminated. The book deals with the risk assessment in detail for all the directives under consideration. And last but not the least, the CE marking procedure is not complete unless the entire process is documented through the so-called technical file or technical documentation. The last chapter explains the compilation of technical documentation as required by the directives and the European surveillance authorities.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY -WITHOUT EQUATIONS by CHETAN KATHALAY Pdf

This book deals with practical concepts of Electromagnetic Compatibility testing and design. Given the scorching pace at which electronic gadgets are evolving, deadlines associated with product design are shrinking rapidly. In such a scenario, the designer obviously has no time to read mathematical theory. Keeping this fact in mind, the book explains only the practical aspects of EMC design without resorting to equations or mathematical derivations whatsoever. It has been designed in such a way that the designer can immediately incorporate EMC measures without worrying about the mathematics behind it. The book starts with EMC fundamentals, speaks about EMC standards and then goes on to explain various EMC test methodologies in detail. In the subsequent chapters, various design measures like filtering, shielding, grounding & bonding, PCB design and cable routing are discussed thoroughly. These measures will enable manufacturers to design a compliant product at the design stage itself thereby saving time and money that would otherwise be required for costly retrofits once the design is frozen.
