July 2000 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc Input; 5 W
Test Configurations
8-489(C).a
Note: Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a simulated
source impedance of 12 µH. Capacitor Cs offsets possible
battery impedance. Current is measured at the input of the
module.

8-513(C)
Note: Use a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. Scope measurement should
be made using a BNC socket. Position the load between
50.8 mm and 76.2 mm (2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.

Measurement Test Setup
8-204(C)
Note: All measurements are taken at the module terminals. When
socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals to
avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance.

Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e.,
UL
1950,
CSA
C22.2 No. 950-95, and
VDE
0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc), for the module's output to be considered
meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
■
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, includ-
ing the ac mains.
■
One V
I
pin and one V
O
pin are to be grounded, or
both the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
■
The input pins of the module are not operator acces-
sible.
■
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the saf ety agencies, on
the combination of supply source and the subject
module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module's output.
Note:
Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The pow er module has e xtr a-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
