Dear SIRS:

Thanks for your e-mail

A further question for touch current:

 Is it (0.25mA) strict for Class II equipment ?
 
0.28mA rms is OK FOR IEC60065
0.28mA rms is not OK for IEC60950


Any comments are appreciated


Best Regards

  Xing Hello!
  ake a look at IEC 60990, "Methods of measurement of touch current and 
protective conductor current". The limits in IEC 60 950 are based on this 
particular standard.

    Dear colleagues

    I have a question regarding touch current limit of IEC 60950?

    We can read from table 5A of IEC60950:1999:

    Touch current limit for accessible parts and circuits not connected 

    to protective earth: 0.25 mA

    question 1 : How does it (0.25mA) come from and what  it is based on?

    based on IEC479? OR other source
    why it is not 0.5mA(based on IEC60479)

    question 2 :for hand-held equipment it is 0.75mA
    why ?

    Please shed some light for above questions


    Any comments are appreciated

    Best Regards
