Hello from Tel Aviv Everyone! Well, simple question for those machinery experts out there. The standards requires a 1000 VAC Dielectric Strength Test between Live Hazardous Parts and Earth. Can a dc potential at 1.414 of this ac potential be applied instead (ie 1414 Vdc). There are many machines out there with Approved Line to Ground capacitors which would fail the AC Dielectric Strength Test. I believe that since EN 60 950 allows a dc in lieu of ac, the same could apply to machinery or other standards which require just ac (another standard requiring ac is the medical standard). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ RTTE Directive Seminar Renaissance Hotel, Tel-Aviv 12th January 2000: CALL FOR DETAILS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
