Value of the impulse voltage component of the relevant combined test while the peak value of the
power-frequency component of opposite polarity is U × √2 / √3.
m
b
These values apply as for phase-to-earth and phase-to-phase insulation as well; for longitudinal
insulation they apply as the standard rated lightning impulse component of the combined standard
rated withstand voltage, while the peak value of the power-frequency component of opposite
polarity is 0,7 × U × √2 / √3.
m
c
This U is a non-preferred value in IEC 60038.
m
d
This value is only applicable to the phase-to-earth insulation of single phase equipment not
exposed to air.
