Dave,

Quote of 950: "there shall be insulation between circuitry intended to be connected to a telecommunications network and any parts or circuitry that will be earthed ...., EITHER WITHIN THE EQUIPMENT OR VIA OTHER EQUIPMENT."

The equipment of Ed might not derive its power directly from the mains , but might be connected to a second equipment that derives its power from the mains. If this second equipment is pluggable equipment Type A and has only basic insulation +PE between mains + earthed secondary circuitry, separation as in clause 6.3.3.1 is still required.

Any additional information from Ed might be welcome to give a more precise interpretation.

Regards,

Andre

Does your equipment plug into a primary (AC) circuit?  Any TNV circuit
is considered a secondary circuit and if any and all power is derived
from the TNV network, the notes you referenced would not apply as a
primary circuit is not present.
