Hi, my name is Paulo Cesar. I am an electrical engineer, and I'm studying drivers for LEDs. I wonder what the importance of a driver for power on the order of 100W offer electrical insulation? I thank you for your attention.

In a few general lighting applications, there is a need to isolate the LEDs from the AC input line. These are cases when the driver terminals of the LED strings are exposed to the external environmental conditions, or the LED strings are user accessible for maintenance during operation. In these cases, an isolated LED driver is needed for safety considerations.\nPlease see our LED brochure at: http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/BRD8034-D.PDF .\nThank you. Answered by:
