IMosfet for that was added after the image was posted here.

IONICUBE 1X does not seem to be fitted with the bracking MOSFET. Could you confirm that point ?

1) Components (mosfets, capacitors etc)
2) PCB layout (trace clearances & creepages)
3) Isolation (user touchable I/O need to be galvanicallyisolated above certain voltage)
4) Testing (isolation need to be tested in production on each manufactured device, in Argon the test voltage is 1500 VAC)

A quick off topic question:
What determines the voltage limitations of ioni vs argon?
Is it just the rating of the mosfets or are there other forces in place?
