36-75Vdc Input; 1.2Vdc to 3.3Vdc Output
LINEAGE POWER 11
Safety Considerations (continued)
 The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages,
including the ac mains.
 One V
IN
pin and one V
OUT
pin are to be
grounded, or both the input and output pins are
to be kept floating.
 The input pins of the module are not operator
accessible.
 Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system (combination of supply source and
subject module), as required by the safety
agencies, to verify that under a single fault,
hazardous voltages do not appear at the
module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV)
outputs when all inputs are ELV.
For input voltages exceeding –60 Vdc but less than or
equal to –75 Vdc, these converters have been
evaluated to the applicable requirements of BASIC
INSULATION between secondary DC MAINS
DISTRIBUTION input (classified as TNV-2 in Europe)
and unearthed SELV outputs.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum 15A fast-acting (or time-delay) fuse in the
unearthed lead.
