Question 7/V - Characteristics and testing of protective components and assemblies (Continuation of Question 7/V, 1985-1988; revised wording) (See also Questions 1/V and 5/V) The purpose of this Question is to establish standard tests for selected characteristics for protective components so as to make comparison and selection easier. The following should be considered: a) components for over-current and over-voltage protection b) complete assemblies including mountings c) protective components which are intended to be used as integral parts of equipment d) combinations of protective components. The question to be considered is: What are the characteristics of protective components and what tests should be made on them? Note 1 - This Question is to be studied in collaboration with CCIR Study Groups 1, 3, 9 and 10.
