    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 IEC 60060 and 60141.2.For voltage measurements with sphere-gaps, see IEC 60052.
