| Class I equipment has parts with functional insulation only
and with provision for grounding. Class I equipment contains
a carefully grounded conductive case which is the first line
of protection agains a hazardous shock. Class I equipment always
uses a 3-wire, grounded power supply cord or cordset. |

|
| |
| Class I equipment is provided with double insulation and/or
reinforced insulation throughout and has no provision for grounding.
Class II equipment protects the user from accidental shock through
the use of two independent insulation systems. These appliances
are sometimes referred to as being double insulated. A 2-wire
ungrounded plug is used in class II equipment. |

| |
| Class III appiances are designed for connection to extra low
voltage circuits. |

| Clearance is the shortest distance between two conductive
surfaces. |
|
| |
|
| |
| Creepage is the shortest distance between two conducting parts
measured along the surface of the insulating material between
them. |

| "HAR" cable meets the requirements of Harmonised
Documents HD-21 or HD-22 and will carry one safety agency approval
which is recognised by other European safety agencies |

| |
| A power supply cord is a means of transmitting energy from
the mains supply to an electrica deice through a flexible electrical
cable. A cord is permanently installed in the device being powered,
as opposed to a cordset, which is detachable. |

| |
| Radio frequency interference is a phenomenon that is generated
in electrical equipment as a result od switch closures, and
by motors, inductors and various other complex electrical circuits.
RFI is conducted from the point of origination through cables,
it may present performance problems for adjacent equipment. |
