Insulating capacity
The insulation capacity of insulation in air declines with rising altitude increases due
to the lower air density. As per IEC 62271-1, the rated lightning impulse withstand
voltage values given in Fig. 32 are valid up to an installation altitude of 1000 m
above sea level.
Above an altitude of 1000 m, the insulation level must be corrected as shown in
Fig. 34:
Occasional condensation may occur under these ambi-
ent conditions.
