a. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000 Vrms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit,
II-O ≤ 5 A). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (method b) shown in IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 Insulation Characteristic
Table.
b. The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output continuous voltage rating.
For the continuous voltage rating, refer to the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 insulation characteristics table and your equipment level safety specification.
c. This is a two-terminal measurement: pins 1–4 are shorted together and pins 5–8 are shorted together.
