Power Supply Standards: Which Ones Apply In Your Application?

by Kevin Parmenter, Chair, and James Spangler, Co-chair, PSMA Safety and Compliance Committee , How2Power Today, Sep 15 2017

Focus:
When an engineer begins a program, one confronting issue emerges—which standards or regulations must the product meet? The number of potentially applicable standards is large, covering a range of issues including safety, energy efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility, material toxicity and environmental considerations. In many instances, multiple standards apply, are sometime conflicting, and are often changing. These challenges motivated creation of the PSMA’s Safety and Compliance database, which was overseen by the authors. In this column, the authors take readers on a tour of the database, which power supply and power system designers can use to determine which standards apply in their applications.
