HIGH ISOLATION TRANSFORMER PLATFORM OVERVIEW

F O R I S O L AT E D P O W E R A P P L I C AT I O N S
Pulse high isolation transformers use innovative mechanical design and enhanced wire insulation to
maximize electrical isolation. While all transformers provide electrical isolation (the elimination of a
conductive path) and functional insulation (the physical barrier that guarantees this electrical isolation),
further requirements are introduced for safety standard compliance:
1) Safety Insulation – A higher level for insulation than required for purely functional operation that
accounts for the micro-environment of the transformer and other influencing stresses. Basic and Reinforced
insulation compliance imposes requirements for withstand voltage measurement, wire insulation selection
and physical separation of non- insulated conductive materials.
2) Working Voltage – The highest voltage differential across the insulation barrier during normal operation.
This is a safety standard input parameter. Along with the inputs of insulation material type and level of air
pollution, separation requirements for non-insulated conducted elements are defined.

3) Creepage and Clearance Distance – Clearance is the shortest distance through air, creepage is shortage
distance along the surface of insulation between non-insulated conductive elements within the transformer.
The safety standard defines minimum separation distances for both. The creepage/clearance/withstand
voltage capabilities of the Pulse isolation transformer platforms are summarized in the following chart.
4) Withstand Voltage – The test voltage that is applied without insulation breakdown or flash over across
the insulation barrier. This is the measure of electrical isolation capability, the requirement increasing
for higher levels of safety insulation and working voltage. Withstand voltage is commonly referred to as
dielectric strength or hi-pot.

The IEC61558-1 safety standard is referenced for the corresponding working voltage for basic and
reinformed insulation compliance, based on insulation material group III and pollution degree 2 and the
selected wire insulation. Please contact Pulse Electronics for your next isolation transformer need for a
safety compliant solution based on one of these platforms.
