DIN V VDE V 0884-11 (VDE V 0884-11): 2017-01 Certification Test Program Overview

DIN V VDE V 0884-11 (VDE V 0884-11): 2017-01 Certification Test Program Overview

This article is a detailed description of the test items required by the DIN V VDE V 0884-11 standard, which is the German certification standard for all digital isolators that are not optically isolated, and is used by major manufacturers of digital isolators such as TI and TOSHIBA for certification testing. There are also ...

Qpd Why is partial discharge testing necessary for digital isolators?

Qpd Why is partial discharge testing necessary for digital isolators?

When high voltage is added at both ends of the insulating medium, because of the existence of these bubbles or voids, partial discharges (Qpd: Partial Discharge) will be generated, minor partial discharges on the insulation of power equipment has a smaller impact, the insulation strength of the slower decline; and strong partial discharges, the insulation...
