Dielectric strength

The output voltage is earth-free and has no ohmic connection to earth.

Type and component tests are carried out by the manufacturer. Field tests can be performed in the field using suitable test equipment that ramps up the voltage with a slow ramp (2s rising and 2s falling). Connect all input terminals and all output poles to each other before performing the tests. During the test, set the cut-off current to the value shown in the table below.

To meet the PELV requirements according to EN60204-1 section 6.4.1, we recommend that either the positive pole, the negative pole or any other part of the output circuit is connected to the protective earthing system. This helps to avoid situations where a load starts unexpectedly or cannot be disconnected if an unnoticed earth leakage occurs.

B^*) When checking the input to DC-OK, make sure that the maximum voltage between DC-OK and the output is not exceeded (column D). We recommend connecting the DC-OK pins and the output pins when performing the test.
