There is no definition of PELV because the definition of 'SELV circuit' does not prohibit a connection to earth, as other definitions of SELV do. Also see Note 2: NOTE 2 This definition of an SELV CIRCUIT differs from the term "SELV system" as used in IEC 61140. John Woodgate OOO-Own Opinion

The definition of PELV that I have is, I think, from IEC 60364, and it says 'not electrically separated from earth', which I interpret as meaning 'connected to earth but not necessarily with a connection that can withstand a large fault current'. You must do as you see fit, but I think that if

John, If the output is SELV earthed (in other standards PELV) then (as I read 60950-1) table 5B applies and test 3kV is ok. If you decide to use 5C table then because of earthing you can use one level lower test voltage (as I read Annex G) and you end also with 3kV test. But there is no info a

We need to be very careful here. There is not a single definition of 'SELV'. Some definitions allow the LV circuit to be earthed, some do not, and refer to 'Protected Extra-Low Voltage (PELV)' for SELV which is earthed. Non-earthed SELV is OK for some purposes, but  I don't like it for situatio
