Hello group,

I have two questions:

1. Where can I get ahold of copies of Korean deviations to IEC 950?

2. I have just learned that one deviation is that 45 VDC is the cutoff
voltage for SELV. How does this impact the design of centralized dc powered
equipment operating at -48 VDC?

The way I've figured it, it has the following consequences:

- because input voltages are now considered hazardous secondary, the
insulation requirements between input and SELV circuits are BASIC, instead
of OPERATIONAL as they would be if the line is drawn at the standard 60 VDC.

- creepage distances remain the same, but clearances must be determined
from the B/S column of Table 3, IEC 950, instead of the Op column as before.

- and most importantly, ***clause 5.4.4 will no longer be applicable***.
Important because compliance options which were available before no longer
are. If either options b) or c) in 5.4.4 were selected as design courses,
instead of meeting creepage/clearance, it seems like the Korean deviation
renders the design non-compliant.

Any thoughts?

thanks!

Mark
