I need to make a mains powered test jig with at least a 60V dc output.
My memory tells me that 65Vdc is OK
I've just grabbed my copy of IEC 61010-1 to check and note it is well
out of date but it says 70V dc.
I looked a wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage
which says:
"The International Electrotechnical Commission and its member
organizations define an ELV circuit as one in which the electrical
potential of any conductor against earth (ground) is not more than
either 50 volts RMS (70 volts peak) for alternating current, or
ripple-free 120 volts for direct current under dry conditions."
120Vdc sounds wrong for parts that an operator can touch.
So what is the current safety standard for operator accessable
voltages?
