Ambient conditions
Installation altitudes
Insulating capacity The insulating capacity of insulation in air decreases with rising altitude due to the
lower air density. In conformity with IEC 62271-102, the rated lightning impulse
withstand voltage values given in Fig. 45 are valid up to an installation altitude of
1,000 m above sea level.
As from an altitude of 1,000 m, the insulation level must be corrected as shown in
Fig. 48:
