Peter, We are checking with Dupont's expert to see if what we are concerned now for the 600V or 300V system refers to the input voltage (primary winding voltage) only. Perhaps you are right, thanks. But if you can cite any good source to support this, that would be much helpful to us. For the

Dear Robin, If I'm not mistaken the 300 V or 600 V rating for Insulation Systems per UL1446 is for primary supply voltage and not for the maximum voltage in any winding. You state that the transformer is being designed for a 200 C rating. Remember that you need only comply with UL1446 if your

Robin, You do not scale the thickness as such when increasing the voltage rating. Insulation Thickness is directly related to the degree of Mechanical protection that needs to be achieved. Insulation thickness is only partially (brain stoppage for lack of a better word!) related to voltage
