The converters meet the requirements of
EN55022, CISPR22 and FCC CFR title 47 Part 15
Sub-part J - Conducted (conducted noise on the

converters are provided with Operational
Insulation between input and output circuits
according to EN60950 / UL1950 / CSA60950-00.
Nevertheless, if the system using the converter
needs to receive safety agency approval, certain
rules must be followed in the design of the
system. In particular, all of the creepage and
clearance requirements of the end-use safety
To meet level B for the above standards it is
necessary to fit a 3. 3µF ceramic capacitor across
the input terminals.

These
documents include UL60950, CSA60950-00 and
EN60950, although specific applications may
have additional requirements.

In order for the output of the converter to be
considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
or TNV-1, according to EN60950 / UL1950 /
CSA60950-00, one of the following requirements
must be met in the system design:

recommended. The user can select a lower
rating fuse based upon the inrush transient
and the maximum input current of the
converter, which occurs at the minimum input
voltage. Both input traces and the chassis
ground trace (if applicable) must be capable of
conducting a current of 1.5 times the value of
the fuse without opening. The fuse must not
be placed in the grounded input line, if any.

• The components on the converter carry
transients, which exceed the input voltage.
Even if the input voltage is SELV (<60V) the
components on the primary side of the
converter may have to be considered as
hazardous. A safety interlock may be needed
to prevent the user from accessing the
converter while operational.
