NOTE If values in brackets are considered insufficient to prove that the required
phase-to-phase withstand voltages are met, additional phase-to-phase withstand
voltage tests are needed.

a These U are non-preferred values in IEC 60038 and therefore seldom used.
These values should not be used for new systems to be constructed in future.
b This U value is not mentioned in IEC 60038 but it has been introduced in range I
in some apparatus standards.

a Value of the impulse voltage component of the relevant combined test while the peak value of the
power-frequency component of opposite polarity is Um x v 2 /V 3 .

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 x Um x

c This Um is a non-preferred value in IEC 60038.

d This value is only applicable to the phase-to-earth insulation of single phase equipment not
exposed to air.
