HIGH VOLTAGE TEST TECHNIQUES
PART 1:
GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND TEST REQUIREMENTS
Section 1: General
1 Scope
This standard 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 its highest voltage for equipment U, above
1 kV.
This standard is not intended to be used for electromagnetic compatibility tests on electric or electronic
equipment.
2 Object
The object of this standard is:
- to define terms of both general and specific applicability;
- to present general requirements regarding test objects and test procedures;
- to describe methods for generation and measurement of test voltages and currents;
- to describe test procedures;
- to describe methods for the evaluation of test results and to indicate criteria for acceptance or
refusal.
Definitions and requirements concerning approved measuring devices and checking methods are given in
IEC Publication 60-3: High Voltage Test Techniques - Measuring Devices.
Alternative test procedures may be required to obtain reproducible and significant results. The choice of
a suitable test procedure should be made by the relevant Technical Committee.

Section 2: General Definitions
3 Impulses
An impulse is an intentionally applied aperiodic transient voltage or current which usually rises rapidly
to a peak value and then falls more slowly to zero.
For special purposes, impulses having approximately linearly rising fronts or transients of oscillating or
approximately rectangular form are used.
The term "impulse" is to be distinguished from the term "surge" which refers to transients occurring in
electrical equipment or networks in service.
3.1 Lightning and switching impulses
A distinction is made between lightning and switching impulses on the basis of duration of the front.
Impulses with front duration up to 20 p are defined as lightning impulses and those with longer fronts
are defined as switching impulses.
Generally, switching impulses are also characterized by total durations considerably longer than those of
lightning impulses.
4 Characteristics related to disruptive discharge and test voltages
4.1 Disruptivedischarge
In this standard, the term "disruptive discharge" (sometimes referred to as "electrical breakdown") relates
to phenomena associated with the failure of insulation under electrical stress, in which the discharge
completely bridges the insulation under test, reducing the voltage between the electrodes practically to
zero. It applies to electrical breakdown in solid, liquid and gaseous dielectrics and combinations of these.
Non-sustained disruptive discharge in which the test object is momentarily bridged by a spark or arc may
occur. During these events the voltage across the test object is momentarily reduced to zero or to a very
small value. Depending on the characteristics of the test circuit and the test object, a recovery of dielectric
strength may occur and may even permit the test voltage to reach a higher value. Such an event should
be interpreted as a disruptive discharge unless otherwise specified by the relevant Technical Committee.
Non-disruptive discharges such as those between intermediate electrodes or conductors may also occur
without reduction of the test voltage to zero. Such an event should not be interpreted as a disruptive
discharge unless so specified by the relevant Technical Committee.
Some non-disruptive discharges are termed "partial discharges" and are dealt with in IEC Publication 270:
Partial Discharge Measurements.
The term "sparkover" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs in a gaseous or liquid medium.
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST HD 588.1 S1:1998
60-1 0 IEC 1989
The term "flashover" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs over the surface of a dielecmc in a
gaseous or liquid medium.
The term "puncture" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs through a solid dielectric.
A disruptive discharge in a solid dielecmc produces permanent loss of dielecmc strength; in a liquid or
gaseous dielectric the loss may be only temporary.
4.2 Characteristics of the test voltage
The characteristics of a test voltage are those characteristics specified in this standard for designating the
different types of voltage excursion that define the test voltage.
4.2.1
Prospective characteristics of a test voltage
The prospective characteristics of a test voltage causing disruptive discharge are the characteristics which
would have been obtained if no disruptive discharge had occurred. When a prospective characteristic is
used, this shall always be stated.
4.2.2 Actual characteristics of a test voltage
The actual characteristics of a test voltage are those which occur during the test at the terminals of the
test object.
4.2.3 Value of the test voltage
The value of the test voltage is defined in the relevant Clauses of the present standard.
4.3 Disruptive discharge voltage of a test object
The disruptive discharge voltage of a test object is the value of the test voltage causing disruptive
discharge, as specified, for the various tests, in the relevant Clauses of the present standard.
4.4 Statistical characteristics of disruptive discharge voltages
Disruptive discharge voltages are subject to random variations and, usually, a number of observations must
be made in order to obtain a statistically significant value of the voltage. The test procedures, described
in the present standard, are generally based on statistical considerations. Information on the statistical
evaluation of test results is given in Appendix A.
4.4.1 Disruptive discharge probability p of a test object
The disruptive discharge probability p of a test object is the probability that one application of a certain
prospective voltage value of a given shape will cause disruptive discharge in the test object. The parameter
p may be expressed as a percentage or a fraction.
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST HD 588.1 S1:1998
60-1 0 IEC 1989
4.4.2 Withstand probability q of a test object
The withstand probability q of a test object is the probability that one application of a certain prospective
voltage value of a given shape does not cause a disruptive discharge on the test object. If the disruptive
discharge probability is p, the withstand probability q is (1 -p).
4.4.3 50% disruptive discharge voltage U,, of a test object
The 50% disruptive discharge voltage is the prospective voltage value which has a 50% probability of
producing a disruptive discharge on the test object.
4.4.4 p% disruptive discharge voltage Up of a test object
The p% disruptive discharge voltage of a test object is the prospective voltage value which has p%
probability of producing a disruptive discharge on the test object.
4.4.5 Conventional deviation z of the disruptive discharge voltage of a test object
The conventional deviation z of the disruptive discharge voltage of a test object is the difference between
its 50% and 16% disruptive discharge voltages. It is often expressed in per unit or percentage value,
referred to the 50% disruptive discharge voltage.
NOTE - If the disruptive-discharge probability function (see Appendix A) is close to a Gaussian function, 2
is correspondingly close to its standard deviation.
4.5 Withstand voltage of a rest object
The withstand voltage of a test object is a specified prospective voltage value which characterizes the
insulation of the object with regard to a withstand test.
Unless otherwise specified, withstand voltages are referred to standard reference atmospheric conditions
(see Clause 11.1).
4.6 Assured disruptive discharge voltage of a test object
The assured disruptive discharge voltage of a test object is a specified prospective voltage value which
characterizes its performance with regard to a disruptive discharge test.
5 Classification of insulation in test objects
Insulation systems of apparatus and high voltage structures must basically be classified into self-restoring
and non-self-restoring insulation and may consist of external and/or internal insulation.
5.1 External insulation
External insulation is the air insulation and the exposed surfaces of solid insulation of the equipment,
which are subject both to dielectric stresses and to the effects of aunospheric and other external conditions
such as pollution, humidity and vermin.
---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
SIST HD 588.1 S1:1998
60-1 0 IEC 1989
5.2 Internal insulation
Internal insulation comprises the internal solid, liquid or gaseous elements of the insulation of equipment,
which are protected from the effects of atmospheric and other external conditions such as pollution,
humidity and vermin.
5.3 Self-restoring insulation
Self-restoring insulation is the insulation which completely recovers its insulating properties after a
disruptive discharge caused by the application of a test voltage.
5.4 Non-self-restorin insulation
Non-self-restoring insulation is insulation which loses its insulating properties, or does not recover them
completely, after a disruptive discharge caused by the application of a test voltage.
NOTE - In high voltage apparatus, parts of both self-restoring and non-self-restoring insulation are always
operating in combination and some parts may be degraded by repeated or continued voltage applications. The
behaviour of the insulation in this respect shall be taken into account by the relevant Technical Committee when
specifying the test procedures to be applied.

SIST HD 588.1 S1:1998
Section 3: General Requirements Relating to Test Procedures
and Test Objects
6 General requirements for test procedures
The test procedures applicable to particular types of test objects, for example, the polarity to be used, the
preferred order if both polarities are to be used, the number of applications and the interval between
applications shall be specified by the relevant Technical Committee, having regard to such factors as:
- the required accuracy of test results;
- the random nature of the observed phenomenon and any polarity dependence of the measured
characteristics;
- the possibility of progressive deterioration with repeated voltage applications.
7 General arrangement of the test object
At the time of a test, the test object shall be complete in all essential details, and it should have been
processed in the normal manner for similar equipment.
The disruptive discharge characteristics of an object may he affected by its general arrangement (for
example, by its clearance from other live or grounded structures, its height above ground level and the
arrangement of its high voltage lead). The general arrangement should be specified by the relevant
Technical Committee.
A clearance to extraneous structures not less than 1.5 times the length of the shortest possible discharge
path on the test object usually makes such proximity effects negligible. In wet or pollution tests, or
wherever the voltage distribution along the test object and the electric field around its energized electrode
are sufficiently independent of external influences, smaller clearances may be acceptable, provided that
discharges do not occur to extraneous structures.
In the case of a.c. or positive switching impulse tests above 750 kV (peak) the influence of an extraneous
structure may be considered as negligible if its distance from the energized electrode is also not less than
the height of this electrode above the ground plane. A practical lower limit to this clearance is given in
figure 1, as a function of the highest test voltage.
A withstand test may be acceptable when successfully performed with shorter distances to earthed objects.

8 Dry tests
The test object shall be dry and clean. If not otherwise specified by the relevant Technical Committee, the
test should be made at ambient temperature and the procedure for voltage application shall be as specified
in the relevant Clauses of this standard.
9 Wet tests
The preferred wet test procedure, described in 9.1, is intended to simulate the effect of natural rain on
external insulation and is a revision of earlier test methods. It is recommended for tests with all types of
test voltages and on all types of apparatus, but either of the alternative test methods given below are
permitted if specified by the relevant Technical Committee.
Two earlier test methods, not intended to simulate natural rain, are described in 9.2. They have been in
use for many years for tests with alternating voltages on apparatus having U, up to 420 kV and many test
data obtained by these methods exist.
For a.c. apparatus of large dimensions, such as those having U, higher than 800 kV, no appropriate wet
test procedure is available at present.
The relevant Technical Committee shall specify the arrangement of the test object during the test proce-
dure.
9.1 Standard wet test procedure
The test object shall be sprayed with water of prescribed resistivity and temperature (see table 1) falling
on it as droplets (avoiding fog and mist) and directed so that the vertical and horizontal components of
the spray intensity are approximately equal. These intensities are measured with a divided collecting vessel
having openings of 100 cm2 to 750 cm2, one. horizontal and one vertical, the vertical opening facing the
spray.
The position of the test object relative to the vertical and horizontal rain components shall be specified
by the relevant Technical Committee.
