16. DIELECTRIC STRENGTH 
The output voltage is floating and has no ohmic connection to the ground. 
Type and factory tests are conducted by the manufacturer. Field tests may be conducted in the field using the 
appropriate test equipment which applies the voltage with a slow ramp (2s up and 2s down). Connect all phase-
terminals together as well as all output poles before conducting the test. When testing, set the cut-off current settings 
to the value in the table below.

To fulfill the PELV requirements according to EN60204-1 § 6.4.1, we 
recommend that either the + pole, the – pole or any other part of 
the output circuit shall be connected to the protective earth 
system. This helps to avoid situations in which a load starts 
unexpectedly or can not be switched off when unnoticed earth 
faults occur.
