15 - APPENDIX B - PROCEDURE BY WHICH THE VALUES IN TABLES I AND II HAVE BEEN DERIVED FROM NATIONAL STANDARDS AND OTHER SOURCES

Adopts IEC 52:1960 which applies to the construction and use of sphere-gaps for measuring direct voltages and the peak value of alternating voltages and impulse voltages, both standard full wave and with longer tails. The peak values of the disruptive voltages in air are given in tabular form.

These recommendations concern the construction and use of sphere-gaps for voltage measurement. The rules apply to the measurement of the peak value of:a) alternating voltagesb) full standard impulses as defined in I.E.C. Publication 60 and impulses with longer tailsc) direct voltages.The peak values of the disruptive voltages in air for various spacings between the spheres are given in two tables.Appendix A gives the limits of voltage and frequency over which the tables have been derived from experiments and can be presumed to be accurate within the tolerances specified in Clause 5.2.Appendix B gives the procedure by which the values in the tables have been derived from previous National Standards and other sources.
