HBM GEN3i - Understanding the GN815 and GN816 Isolation

WARNING
Connectors and cables
The specified ±
50 V DC voltage range of the Isolated Basic acquisition card is
such that it falls below the low voltage limit as specified in IEC61010.
The limit for safe voltage and currents is set in the IEC61010-1 standard in
Section 6.3 – limit values for accessible parts. The limits are:
Table 12.4: Limit for safe voltage and currents is set in the IEC61010
- 1
Normal operation Single fault condition
Voltage 70 V DC 140 V DC
33 V RMS 55 V RMS
46.7 V peak 78 V peak
Current 2 mA DC 15m A DC
0.5 mA RMS 3.5m A RMS
0.7 mA peak 5 mA peak
It is good practice to use isolated measurement cables. However, since the
voltage range of the Isolated Basic card falls below the low voltage limit for
accessible
parts, non-protected or non-shrouded connectors can also be used
with this card.
