Perry - A note of general concurrence with Joe's take on your circuits. The various DSL power feeds are at this time treated as hazardous voltage circuits. There is activity in IEC, TC47, to consider requirements for remote feeding circuits, but publication is not imminent. The UL/CSA

Currently, we have a product undergoing UL60950 approval and there seems to be some debate about the classification of the TNV voltages. Our product has the following TNV circuits: T1, a POTS modem line and DSL w/span power (up to 190Vdc). The approval agency is classifying the circuits

With regard to isolators: According to GR-1089, my circuit will be required to pass a 5KV surge non-operationally. I'm worried about the optoisolator that I'm looking at. They specify 8mm spacing, but only specify

Hi George, After posting a similar question to Treg about a year or more ago, and doing some research, I maximized the spacings and incorporated them into the design practices at a former company. I believe these spacings will carry your product to just about anywhere in the world (which

George, Do you have transient voltage surge supressors. Maybe this is why you failed the hipot. The standard allows you to pass the Impulse Test in lieu of hipot. Try this method. Regarding insulation between TNV-3 and SELV/Earth the standard allows you the following alternatives routes to
