Are any dangerous voltages exposed on the surface of the converter?

0

In the United States, UL defines an “Unsafe” voltage as 60V, this is called the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) limit. At input voltages of 0 to 60V, the highest voltage will be across the midbuss capacitors, this is an AC signal, operating at the switching frequency, with a maximum peak to peak amplitude of about 58V. Above a DC input of 60V the maximum voltage is the input voltage across the primary switching FETS, which is approximately Vin plus a few volts.
