Hello experts, Can magnets be used to fasten line voltage assemblies to the inside of an electrical panel?
To restate my concerns, if strong enough could they be considered to reliably maintain creepage and clearance distances, as well as not overstressing wires terminating at the assembly? And how strong is strong enough? Test T2 calls for pushing on parts in the most unfavorable direction with 10 newtons of force for 5 seconds – is this an appropriate test? The application is in stationary equipment that does not include motors, so vibration should not be a concern. I welcome advice – this is the first time I’ve seen such proposed construction and I don’t know a standard such as 62368 to mention it.
