Seriously, though, what I wrote is not correct. I originally wrote a much longer sentence that I then tried to cut down and in doing so, preserved unmatched pieces. True SELV ..... requires double or reinforced insulation from hazardous live parts/parts at hazardous voltages [different expressions used for the same things] and basic insulation from earth. '950 SELV' allows SELV circuits to be earthed (see 2.2.3.3 of IEC60950:1999 or EN60950:2000 or of IEC/EN 60950-1). -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
