The KMF power entry module from Schurter is for use in protection class II double-insulated applications. The new version is perfectly suited for medical equipment used at home.
Protection class II equipment, in contrast to protection class I equipment, generally has no metal case. This category of equipment is called double insulated, and requires higher safety levels for energized components relative to exposed surfaces. The KMF class II power entry module provides double insulation between energized components and exposed parts. This reinforced insulation is tested with a voltage of 4000 VDC between the energized conductor (L) and the neutral conductor (N) relative to the mounting panel.
The KMF class I and class II are ENEC, cURus and CCC approved. They are suited for use in equipment according to IEC 60950 and IEC 60601-1. Furthermore, the class II version is particularly well suited for use in medical equipment according to IEC 60601-1-11, which outlines additional safety measures specific to medical equipment intended for use in the home.
