One question we see periodically from users is a request for the UL file number for PI parts.
The UL (or other safety agency) file number for a component indicates that it has met the safety requirements for that class of component. Components where this is a requirement are opto-couplers, Y and X class capacitors, fuses and (materials used in the construction of) transformers. All of these components either bridge the isolation barrier or provide a critical safety function.
