[IEV 826-17-01]
3.42
impulse withstand voltage
highest peak value of impulse voltage of prescribed form and polarity which does not cause
breakdown of insulation under specified conditions
8 Special operating and servicing conditions
Add, after 8.2, the following new subclause:
8.3 Devices for isolation
8.3.1 General
Devices suitable for isolation shall effectively isolate the circuit concerned from all live supply
conductors.
NOTE 1 With regard to low voltage, see also 8.3.2.
The position of the contacts or other means of isolation shall, in the isolated position, be either
externally visible or clearly and reliably indicated.
NOTE 2 The indication may be achieved by suitable marking to indicate the isolated and closed positions respectively.
Devices suitable for isolation shall be designed and/or erected to prevent unintentional or
unauthorized operation.
NOTE 3 Such operation might be caused for example by shocks and vibrations.
