Hi,
I have seen multiple posts regarding the confusion behind the test voltages for the dielectric strength testing and would appreciate any clarification on the following question.
For a rechargeable battery operated medical device that is charged using a mains supply, would the dielectric strength testing as per the IEC 60601-1 Clause 8.8.3 be required. The medical device is a single Type BF applied part with multiple functions. Since it is mainly operating in the battery mode (U <60Vdc), would the test voltage be 500Vrms (1MOPP)? However, the testing lab is considering the mains supply as the working voltage and test at 1500Vrms.
How do we work around this?
