4.1.1.1 The limits in columns 2 and 3 shall be met on the phase(s) and the neutral of the
mains terminals of all appliances except those of electric tools.
4.1.1.2 On additional terminals of appliances as well as on load and additional terminals of
regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices the relaxed limits given for "additional
terminals" in columns 4 and 5 apply.
Terminals which may be used as either mains terminals or load/additional terminals are
subject to the limits for mains terminals.
No terminal voltage limits apply for leads, which are not easily extensible by the user
(permanently connected, or provided with a specific connector), which are shorter than 2 m,
and which connect the equipment with an auxiliary apparatus or device, (e.g. semiconductor
speed controls, power plugs with AC-DC converters).
No terminal voltage limits apply to leads integrated in the suction hose of vacuum cleaners,
even if the length exceeds 2 m.
NOTE For the measurement at the load terminals and additional terminals of regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices see 5.2.4, for additional terminals of other appliances see 5.2.3. |
