[8023-POEP] 802.3af Isolation 33.4.1
I would like to know 
the reasoning for the change to the Isolation requirements in paragraph 
33.4.1.
Previously, 2250VDC 
was an acceptable test option.  That option is no longer shown in the 
802.3af specification.
 
The MDI interface 
will typically have a capacitive path to frame ground to attenuate common mode 
noise.  This capacitance will conduct AC current up to as much as 30mA 
during the electrical strength test.
 
Could someone please 
explain the reasoning for not allowing the 2250VDC electrical strength 
test?
 
Thanks
