Abstract

Applies to dielectric tests with direct, alternating and impulse voltage and test with impulse current on equipment having a rated voltage of not more than 1 kV a.c. or 1.5 kV d.c. Applies mainly to type testing. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 1180-1:1992.

Scope

This part of IEC 1180 is applicable to:
- dielectric tests with direct voltage;
- dielectric tests with alternating voltage;
- dielectric tests with impulse voltage;
- tests with impulse current;
- tests with combinations of the above.

This standard is applicable only to tests on equipment having a rated voltage of not more than 1 kV a.c. or 1,5 kV d.c.

This standard is mainly applicable to type testing. It may also be applied or adapted for sample and routine testing as specified by the relevant technical committee.

It is not intended to be used for electromagnetic compatibility tests on electric or electronic equipment.

This standard provides the relevant technical committees as far as possible with:
- defined terms of both general and specific applicability;
- general requirements regarding test objects and test procedures;
- methods for generation and measurement of test voltages and currents;
- test procedures;
- methods for the evaluation of test results and to indicate criteria for acceptance;
- requirements concerning approved measuring devices and checking methods.

Alternative test procedures may be required and these shall be specified by the relevant technical committees.
