Dear Boštjan: As you know, a relay, including a vacuum relay, has two circuits. One is the coil that controls the contacts. The other is the contacts. Usually, these are separate circuits. If the one of the circuits provides a safeguard function, then the two circuits must meet

BOštjanIn the past when I've had to deal with this, I explained to the safety inspector that internal spacings (clearance and creepage) are not applicable. Nearly all IEC based standards use IEC 60644-1 as the basis of their spacings determination. Since there is no atmosphere inside a vacuum

Hi Boštjan, I've worked with this type of relay in the past. Distance between contacts in the vacuum is unlikely to meet standard clearance requirements if you are relying on the contact gap for safety isolation. Presumably the reason for the vacuum in the first place is to provide very low

Dear experts, Is anyone familiar with requirements for HV relay in vacuum? Are clearances and creepage distances between contacts applicable for such relay? Thank you for your support. Best regards, BOštjan - This message is
