So here is my question, or actually two of them: First, one of my clients has been told by their 3rd party NRTL that a ground bond test is required as part of factory/production routine tests, even though it is not required by 61010-1. I have never run into this requirement in my work history and I would be interested in hearing if any of you have.
Second, just to be sure my interpretation is correct, 61010-1, section 6.5.2.4, Impedance of protective bonding of plug-connected equipment, in the fist sentence, it has a limit of 100 mOhms impedance and my read is that this is for equipment with a power cord that has a plug on one end and a receptacle on the other. Then, in the same section, still under the title of plug-connected equipment, it says for equipment that has a non-detachable power cord the limit is 200 mOhms. My interpretation is that plug-connected equipment with a non-detachable power cord is when the power cord is hard wired to the unit under test, but still has a plug for mains connection. Thoughts?
