Determine installation environment, measure Working V, add I.T. safety standard, stir well. For a SMPS, only the MINIMUM creepage is determined by the rated input V; otherwise is determined by empirical measurements of the WV across a particular dim. 60950:1999 is obsolete. R/S, Brian

Take E12 series - 12 values based on 10^1/12 = 1.212 - you calculate the next value by multiplying the last by this number 1.212 and rounding thus: 1.0 1.0 x 1.212 = 1.2 1.212 x 1.212 = 1.47 = 1.5 1.47 x 1.212 = 1.78 = 1.8 Regards, Chris From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org]

Peter, My understanding is that each series, E12, E24, etc increments approximately according to the corresponding tolerance such that adjacent values approximately meet at the upper tolerance of one value and the lower tolerance of the next greater value. This is rounded off to the nearest

The standard resistor values are selected to ensure that any resistor manufactured can be marked as a valid part and sold. For 5% resistors, each value is approximately 10% larger than the previous value. Anything between 9.5 and 10.5 could be called 10 within 5%. Likewise, the 1% resistor
