If you work with laboratory equipment and/or test and measuring equipment and similar products covered by UL 61010-1 and IEC 61010-1, you will add important, practical skills to your technical capabilities. This intensive technical workshop includes: how to apply the "two levels of protection" concept, measuring creepage and clearance based on the voltages and materials involved, and selecting components of appropriate integrity for use in non-energy limiting circuits.

This workshop features additional topics including: The use of Amendments, Part 2 particular standards (ie: for probes and centrifuges), the CB Scheme, and the benefits of using high integrity components. You will also learn about the national differences contained in UL 61010-1. You will also have the opportunity to participate in practical application exercises in a cooperative team environment.

Workshop Topics

• Development and structure of the standard
• Terminology and basic safety considerations
• Electric shock (includes permissible limits)
• Fire hazards (includes limited circuit criteria)
• Enclosure design
• Mechanical hazards (includes introduction to risk management in 61010-2-081 and 61010-2-101)
• Heat hazards
• Diagramming insulation requirements
• Insulation coordination and dielectric strength tests
• Determining creepage and clearance, 2nd edition application
• Other hazards
• Component requirements
• Practical application exercise
• Documentation and marking requirements
• Testing overview per UL 61010-1
• Global product certification 

Objectives

• Identify key technical safety requirements in UL/IEC 61010-1 standards
• Define the term "Particular Standards"
• Define the structure of the base document, amendments, new editions and related Part 2 documents
• Identify the uses of insulation diagrams:  creepage, clearance, thickness and dielectric strength
  

Target Audience

• Product safety engineers
• Compliance engineers
• Product designers
• Technical marketing professionals
