Hi Amund:


Depending on test house acceptance, you can perform
a fault test by shorting the 12 V to the safety
ground.  If the result is no shock hazard (which will
be the result), then the Table 2M clearance distances
can be ignored (for both SELV and ELV circuits).


Best regards,
Rich

An IEC/EN 60950-1 issue

Consider a PCB with maximum (secondary) voltage +12VDC. What are the minimum distance between the 12VDC signal traces and the chassis ground /safety ground? Do we talk about Table 2M in IEC60950-1?

Because of lack of space, the PCB must maybe be mounted directly to the chassis surface.

Best regards

Amund
