Standards and Approvals
All switching regulators are UL recognized according to UL
1950, UL 1012 and EN 60950 and UL recognized for
Canada to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 234-M90.
The units have been evaluated for:
Building in,
Operational insulation from input to output and input/out-
put to case,
The use in an overvoltage category II environment,
The use in a pollution degree 2 environment.
The switching regulators are subject to manufacturing sur-
veillance in accordance with the above mentioned UL and
CSA and with ISO 9001 standards.
Isolation
Electric strength test voltage between input interconnected
with output and case: 500 V DC, 1 s.
This test is performed as factory test in accordance with
IEC/EN 60950 and UL 1950 and should not be repeated in
the field. Power-One will not honour any guarantee claims
resulting from electric strength field tests.

1 The front end output voltage should match the specified input voltage range of the switching regulator.
2 The earth connection has to be provided by the installer according to the relevant safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN 60950.
3 The installer shall provide an approved fuse (slow blow type with the lowest current rating suitable for the application, max. 12.5 A) in
a non-earthed input conductor directly at the input of the switching regulator. If Vo+ is earthed, insert the fuse in the Gi- line. For UL’s
purpose, the fuse needs to be UL-listed. If option C is fitted, a suitable fuse is already built-in in the Vi+ line.
4 Has to be insulated from earth by double or reinforced insulation according to the relevant safety standard, based on the maximum
output voltage from the front end.
Safety of Operator Accessible Output Circuit
If the output circuit of a switching regulator is operator-ac-
cessible, it shall be an SELV circuit according to IEC/EN
60950 related safety standards
The following table shows some possible installation con-
figurations, compliance with which causes the output circuit
of the switching regulator to be an SELV circuit according to
IEC/EN 60950 up to a nominal output voltage of 30 V.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer or user
to assure the compliance with the relevant and applicable
safety regulations.
