Hi

Thanks for all the comments I have now found this $5 part

/With creepage and clearance of greater than 13mm, the ACNV2601 is designed to provide high isolation voltage (7500 Vrms). It can withstand a continuous high working voltage of 2262 Vpeak and a surge voltage of 12,000 Vpeak//

The datasheet says VIORM = 2262V

So, unless I have (again) misunderstood the isolation voltages, this does the job with 10% headroom. Change the protocol from i2c and I'm there. I would appreciate correction if I'm wrong.

Hi Grahame,

I don't know if this is of any help but if you want to go for the $1 solution I assume you like to test things with parts you already have lying around. I was thinking, you could use 2 optocouplers in series so that each carries 1kV. The only "problem" is that you need to have a power supply available between the 2 optocouplers that can carry a 1kV working voltage. For testing you could use a 9V battery, or a DC/DC converter as in attached drawing. The two 10M resistors make sure each opto carries half the total isolation voltage.
Cheers,
Michel

    I had thought about, but not looked, at other protocols - I was
    looking
    for the $1 part that would do the job!
