I think you analysis is correct.

Hello all,

I hope this safety question is a fairly simple one for you, it being Monday after all…

 1. A piece of equipment with a power supply output for driving a
    lamp. It has two modes, DC and pulsed.
 2. Both of the output voltage connections are on accessible terminals
    (checked using finger probe)
 3. Classifying voltages as per EN 61010-1 clause 6.3.1 (limit values
    for accessible parts, normal operating conditions)
 4. DC mode runs at 46Vdc maximum. This is less than 60Vdc so is not
    Hazardous Live
 5. Pulse mode runs at 46Vdc pulsed (frequency up to 1kHz, duty cycle
    can vary down to 0.01%) which is an AC waveform greater than 42.4V
    peak so is Hazardous Live
 6. The output from the equipment is low impedance so is more than
    capable of sourcing the required 0.7mA through the IEC 60990 body
    model.

Quick sketch attached to illustrate the concept. I even ran a SPICE simulation to make sure I wasn’t getting something wrong.

I would appreciate the sanity check!

All the best
