Covers the high voltage testing of low voltage equipment (having a rated voltage of not over 1 kV a.c. or 1,5 kV d.c.). Applies to: dielectric tests with alternating voltage; tests with impulse current; dielectric tests with direct voltage; dielectric tests with impulse current; tests with combination of the above. Includes annexes and diagrams. BS AMD 8679 RENUMBERS THIS STANDARD TO BS EN 61180 PT1
