For UL I.T., the materials must be approved for the operating conditions, IP, and WV.
IEC 60950-1, 2.10.8 Spacings filled by insulating compound Where distances between conductive parts are filled with insulating compound, including where insulation is reliably cemented together with insulating compound, so that CLEARANCES and CREEPAGE DISTANCES do not exist, only the requirements for distance through insulation of 2.10.5.1 apply. luck, Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug Beckwith [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 8:44 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Potted components > > > Hi Everyone, > A happy new year to you all. > > Now for my question.
