Standard methods and basic techniques for high-voltage testing applicable to all types of apparatus for alternating voltages, direct voltages, lightning impulse voltages, switching impulse voltages, and impulse currents are established in this standard. Sections that deal with alternating voltage, direct voltage, and impulse testing are combined in this revision to organize the technical content for ease of use. In addition, the concept of measurement uncertainty in evaluation of high-voltage and high-current tests is introduced in this version.

P4
Standard for High-Voltage Testing Techniques
This standard applies to high-voltage tests made on equipment with a rated voltage above 1000 V ac (rms) or 1500 V dc, and covers: - Dielectric tests with direct voltages - Dielectric tests with alternating voltages - Dielectric tests with impulse voltages - Tests with impulse currents - Tests with combinations of the above - Capacitance and dielectric loss measurements Procedures are given for applying correction factors to convert test data to standard atmospheric conditions. This standard also specifies procedures for testing equipment when external insulation of the test object is to be subjected to dry, wet, or contaminated conditions.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
