The requirements apply for all load modes of operation, including when the handshaking is completed and the PoE output supplies power to the PD. > 2) The power supply in the sourcing equipment are isolated > per IEEE 802.3 (1500Vrms). What if the power supply is Class 2 Equipment? Then the isolation requirements are somewhat larger than 1500 V. Also, doesn't the supplied power to the PD have to continue to be isolated from earth, as do the ethernet circuits?
