    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Lays down the conditions and procedure for carrying out impulse tests on cables and their accessories, with a view to rationalizing the practice in different laboratories, and thus to facilitate valid comparisons between the results obtained on cables made to different specifications. Notes: 1.This publication should be read in conjunction with EN 60060 and 60141. 2.For voltage measurements with sphere-gaps, see EN 60052.
