What is meant with "MAINS supply cord" in the EN61010-1 ?
Sarah:
Hi folks,
i'm a bit stuck with the EN61010-1 and the term "MAINS supply cord" in my usecase.
I have a box which's doing some stuff and a solar module that powers this box. Both are connected via a fixed cable (user has no access to any terminals) and are bolted to a carrier. The maximum voltage from the module is about 20V, so i'm waay below the limits described in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2.
Now I'm stuck with chapter 6.10 and the definition of "MAINS supply cord". Does my cable between box and solar module count as "Mains supply cord"?
In my opinion the whole thing (box + cable + module) is one piece of equipment (and i can skip this chapter) but I'm not 100% sure about this.

Can you show a screenshot or copy/paste the text that is unclear?
Mains tends to be the 1x0/2x0v AC electricity supply. I don't think I've ever heard it used to refer to anything else.
Sarah:
That's the paragraph.
So, "Box <-> Solar panel" and Umax = 20V.
themadhippy:
Is there a list of definitions at the start of the standard?
Sarah:
Sort of.
"3.5.4:
MAINS
low-voltage electricity supply system to which the equipment concerned is designed to be connected for the purpose of powering the equipment."
On one hand i see the panel as kinda mains, but on the other hand it's a sub-part of the whole mechanical unit.
