AS IEC 60060.1:2018 PDF

The objective of this Standard is to set out general definitions and test requirements applicable to dielectric tests with alternating voltage, dielectric tests with direct voltage, dielectric tests with impulse voltage and dielectric tests with combinations of the above.

International Standard IEC 60060-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 42: Highvoltage test techniques.

This third edition of IEC 60060-1 cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1989, and constitutes a technical revision.

The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:

a) The general layout and text was updated and improved to make the standard easier to use.

b) Artificial pollution test procedures were removed as they are now described in IEC 60507.

c) Measurement of impulse current has been transferred to a new standard on current measurement (IEC 62475).

d) The atmospheric correction factors are now presented as formulas.

e) A new method has been introduced for the calculation of the time parameters of lightning impulse waveforms. This improves the measurement of the time parameters of lightning impulses with oscillations or overshoot.
