Testing to IEC60601 Standards

There are a number of areas of safety testing, which include leakage current, dielectric breakdown, insulation resistance, and ground bond testing. To understand the differences in these tests and others, we will examine the purpose and techniques for each.

Calculating Inrush Current Protection

This application note looks at protecting devices from high inrush currents and provides a method and considerations necessary in specifying the inrush current protection needed for an example device.

A Practical Guide to Dielectric Testing

This application note looks at insulation resistance and dielectric testing, AC & DC Hipot testing, and some of the regulations that govern electrical safety testing (EST).
