IEC Corrigendum

This International Standard is a basic safety publication primarily intended for use by
technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid
down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.
It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone standard.
According to IEC Guide 104, technical committees, when preparing, amending, or revising
their publications, are required to make use of any basic safety publication such as IEC 61140.
This International Standard applies to the protection of persons and livestock against electric
shock. The intent is to give fundamental principles and requirements which are common to
electrical installations, systems and equipment or necessary for their coordination, without
limitations with regard to the magnitude of the voltage or current, or the type of current, and
for frequencies up to 1 000 Hz.
Some clauses in this standard refer to low-voltage and high-voltage systems, installations and
equipment. For the purposes of this standard, low-voltage is any rated voltage up to and
including 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c.. High voltage is any rated voltage exceeding
1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c..
It should be noted that, for an efficient design and selection of protective measures, the type
of voltage that may occur and its waveform needs to be considered, i.e. a.c. or d.c. voltage,
sinusoidal, transient, phase controlled, superimposed d.c., as well as a possible mixture of
these forms. The installations or equipment may influence the waveform of the voltage, e.g.
by inverters or converters. The currents flowing under normal operating conditions and under
fault conditions depend on the described voltage.
