These requirementsare described in the EN/IEC 61800-5-1 standard.The components that make up the electrical isolation alsocomply with the requirements for higher isolation and therelevant test as described in EN/IEC 61800-5-1.The PELV galvanic isolation is shown in Illustration 2.25.To maintain PELV, all connections made to the controlterminals must fulfil the requirements for PELV.195NA438.11+24 V18FunctionalisolationRS485RelayoutputHighvoltageControlPELV isolationMainsMotorDC busThermistorinput2131 High-voltage circuit2 I/O control card3 Custom relaysIllustration 2.25 Galvanic IsolationNOTICEHIGH ALTITUDEFor installation at altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft),contact Danfoss hotline regarding clearance (PELV).Product Overview Design GuideMG03M202 Danfoss A/S © 06/2016 All rights reserved. 272 2
