I was responding to stillp's comment (which I continue to find hard to believe) that it is "quite likely" that a protective device will fail if housed in the 'wrong' enclosure
I CBA to check back, but if I referred to a wrong enclosure, I was mistaken.
I've checked for you. You wrote...
.... It's quite likely that they will pass the tests in one manufacturer's enclosure and not in another.
... which is what I regarded as rather disturbing.
The issue is not one of putting devices into the wrong enclosure, but is one of mixing components within an enclosure in a way which has not been type-tested. The enclosure is of course one of those components.
Fair enough, but are you still saying that it is "quite likely" that devices will fail the tests if they are in a 'mixed components' situation? If so, what do you mean by "quite likely"? I would have thought that, in normal usage, that phrase would imply a probability of at least, say, 1 in 10, probably much higher.
