No te: Al l v ol tag e mea su reme nt s t o be tak e n at the mod ul e t ermin al s,
as shown above. If sockets are used then Kelvin connections
are required at the module terminals to avoid measurement
errors due to socket contac t r esistance.

Safety Considerations
For safe ty-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compli anc e with the spacing and separation
requirem ents of the end-use safety agenc y standard,
i.e., UL60950, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00, and
VDE 0805: 2001-12 (I EC6 0950, 3rd Ed).
These conv erters hav e been e v aluated to the spacing
requirem ents for Basic Insulation, per the above safety
standards.
F or Basic Insulat i on models ("–B" Suff ix), 1500 Vdc is
applied from VI to VO to 100% of outgoi ng product ion.
F or end products connected to –48 Vdc, or –60 Vdc
nomianl DC MA INS (i.e. c entral office dc battery plant),
no fur t her fault testing is required.
Note: –60 V dc nominal bettery plants are not available in the U.S. or
Canada.
F or al l i nput v ol tages , other t han DC M AINS, where t he
input voltage is less than 60 Vdc, if the input meets all
of the requirements for SE LV, then:
■The output may be considered SELV. Output voltages will
remain withing SELV limits even with inter nally-generated
non-SELV voltages. Single component failure and fault
tests were performed in the po wer converters.
■One pole of the i nput and one pole of the output are to be
grounded, or both circuit s are to be kept floating, to main-
tai n the output voltage to ground voltage within ELV or
SELV limits.
F or all input sources, other than DC MAI NS , where the
input v ol tage is between 60 and 75 Vdc (Class ifi ed as
TNV- 2 in Europe), the following must be adhered to, if
the conver ter’s out put is to be evaluated for SELV:
■The input sour ce is to be pr ovided with rei nforced ins ula-
tion from any hazardous v olta ge, including the AC mains.
■One VI pi n and one VO pin are to be r eli ably eart hed, or
both the input and output pins are t o be kept floating.
■Another SELV rel iability test i s conducted on the whole
system, as required by t he safety agencies , on the combi-
nation of supply source and the subj ect mod ule to v eri fy
that under a si ngle fault, hazardous v oltag es do not appe ar
at the module’s output .
The power module has ELV (ext ra-l ow voltage) output s
when all inputs are ELV.
All flamm able materials used in the manufacturing of
these mo dules are rated 94V-0, and UL60950A. 2 for
reduce d thicknesses. The input to these units is to be
provided with a maxim um 5A time-delay in the
unearthed lea d.
