The level of ac or dc potential which can be applied to the various portions of a power supply, e.g., input-to-output, output-to-ground, primary-to-secondary, etc.
The maximum AC or DC voltage which maybe continuously applied from input to output and/or chassis of a power supply.
The maximum AC or DC voltage that may be continuously applied from the input to the output or chassis of a power supply.
This is the voltage requirement in which primary and secondary coils must withstand from each other. It is usually in terms of the application of the transformer or inductor. In other words, independent of the voltage applied to the primary and voltage transferred to the secondary, there is a voltage difference between the primary and secondary that must also be met. It could be a voltage in the same range as the primary or secondary voltage or much, much larger. In medical applications the isolation voltage can be many thousands of Volts even if the primary and secondary voltage is 20 or 30 Volts.
Say you have one part of your circuit that you need to float above ground. Or say your equipment has a possibility to feed high voltage back into the power supply. You want to know what the maximum isolation voltage is. This is usually defined as the voltage between the input and the output (or chassis) of a power supply that would cause it to either fail, or to conduct a certain number of microamps of DC current, and is often in the kilovolts.
Maximum voltage (AC or DC) that can be continuously applied between isolated circuits without a breakdown occuring. On converters, this is normally specified as input-output or input-case isolation. Minimum isolation voltage levels be maintained to meet most safety regulations. Also see Breakdown Voltage, High Potential and Isolation.
The maximum AC or DC voltage which may be continuously applied between two section of a SMPS.
The voltage that can be applied between related circuits of a device without voltage break down occurring in the insulation between them.
The voltage which an isolated circuit can withstand. Isolation voltage is specified between two or more points
The voltage that an isolated circuit can normally withstand, usually specified from input to input and/or from any input to the amplifier output, or to the computer bus.
The highest AC or DC voltage that can be continuously run from a power supply chassis or from input to output.
