BS EN 61180:2016 is applicable to:

• dielectric tests with direct voltage;
• dielectric tests with alternating voltage;
• dielectric tests with impulse voltage;
• test equipment used for dielectric tests on low-voltage equipment.

This standard is applicable only to tests on equipment having a rated voltage of not more than 1 kV a.c. or 1,5 kV d.c.

This standard is applicable to type and routine tests for objects which are subjected to high voltage tests as specified by the technical committee.

The test equipment comprises a voltage generator and a measuring system. This standard covers test equipment in which the measuring system is protected against external interference and coupling by appropriate screening, for example a continuous conducting shield. Therefore, simple comparison tests are sufficient to ensure valid results.

This standard is not intended to be used for electromagnetic compatibility tests on electric or electronic equipment.
