IEC 60060-1:2010 PDF Download

The general definitions and test specifications for high-voltage testing methodologies are laid out in the IEC 60060-1:2010 standard. It covers a range of dielectric test types, including those that use alternating voltage, direct voltage, impulse voltage, and combinations of these. The standard only applies to machinery whose greatest voltage (Um) is more than 1 kV.

The second edition of the standard, released in 1989, is replaced by this third edition, which has technical updates. The removal of fake pollution test methodologies, which are now covered by IEC 60507, is one of the notable modifications. A new current measuring standard (IEC 62475) now includes the measurement of impulsive current. The new edition of the standard also includes formulas for the atmospheric adjustment factors.
