Safety of Operator-Accessible Output Circuits
If the output circuit of a DC-DC converter is operator
accessible, it shall be an SELV circuit according to the IEC/
EN 60950 related safety standards.
The following table shows some possible installation
configurations, compliance with which causes the output
circuit of the DC-DC converter to be an SELV circuit
according to IEC/EN 60950 up to a configured output voltage
(sum of nominal voltages if in series or +/– configuration) of
35 V.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure
the compliance with the relevant and applicable safety
regulations.
Use fuses and earth connections as per table below. See also
Installation Instructions.

1 The front end output voltage should match the specified input voltage range of the DC-DC converter. The maximum rated input
voltage of EP types is 150 V according to IEC/EN 60950.
2 The earth connection has to be procided by the installer according to the relevant safety standards, e.g., IEC/EN 60950.
3 Has to be insulated from earth by at least supplementary insulation (by the installer) according to the relevant safety standards,
e.g. IEC/EN 60950, based on the maximum nominal output voltage from the front end. If the converter case is accessible, it
has to be earthed or the front end output circuit has to be insulated from the converter case by at least basic insulation, based
on the maximum nominal mains supply voltage.
