Michael et al, That's always good news about a robust design, and setting higher test standards than the minimum. My previous background was RD QA testing, but that's not my role here. IMO more than 30 meters is a lot of separation. (Except of course for hazardous applications.) If sensors

Dear Huu Dung, Allow me to express my understanding of the standards, and various practices. Section 2.3.1 requires that SELV circuits must be safe to touch, even after a single fault in basic insulation. As a result, SELV circuits must be either double insulated from hazardous votages, as in

Hi, I believe your problem is in the interpretation of the words (Basic and supplementary) used in the table 23. In this case, you should read the word and as or and not plus. In fact in IEC 61010-1, table D.4, it states Basic Insulation or Supplementary insulation. From this table, the value

There are slight differences in the test parameters for 94-5VA and 94-5VB classified materials. 94-5VB materials allow for some relaxation on the burn-through requirement. This relaxation is considered acceptable for ITE. According to UL, a Recognized Component material with either a 94-5VA
