What you'll learn
Understand electrical product safety concepts, classifications and terminology
Understand the most important electrical safety requirements for an electrical/electronics product design project
Understand the concepts of clearance, creepage and solid insulation and be able to design the related safety measures
Understand the importance of critical components and be able to verify if such components are properly certified/approved. Examples with transformers and capacitors
Understand IP protection against ingress of water and solid parts and properly choose the best solution for a particular design
Be able to draw insulation diagrams, a very important tool for product development, in order to represent the insulation strategy and the product compliance
Be able to find and use technical international standards with respect to electrical products safety
Understand where the safety aspect learned in the course belong in the product design/development lifecycle
Examples with households appliances design
Properly set clerance and creepage values in PCB design CADs, like Eagle Layout PCB Design software (contents applicable also to other CADs software)

Requirements
Students should already know basic electronics, e.g. basic components like capacitors, resistance and basic concept like currents, voltage, power.
It is not necessary knowledge on active components (e.g. operational amplifiers) or digital electronics (e.g. microcontrollers)
We will not talk about coding firmware
Description
