IEEE 4 IEEE Standard for High Voltage Test Techniques

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEEE 4 testing. Standard methods and basic techniques for high voltage testing applicable to all apparatus types for alternating voltages, direct voltages, lightning impulse voltages, switching impulse voltages and impulse currents are specified in this standard.

Sections on alternating voltage, correct voltage, and impulse testing have been combined in this revision to organize the technical content for ease of use. Also, this version introduces the concept of measurement uncertainty in the evaluation of high voltage and high current tests.

IEEE 4 is a standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that provides guidelines for high voltage testing techniques. This standard specifies procedures and requirements for testing high voltage equipment and systems and provides guidance on the interpretation of test results.

Some of the topics covered in the standard are:

• Definitions of high voltage test terms
• Test voltage and current waveforms
• Measurement techniques for high voltage tests
• Test procedures for high voltage equipment and systems, including transformers, cables and switchgear
• Acceptance criteria for test results
• Safety considerations for high voltage testing

The standard is intended for use by engineers, technicians and other professionals involved in the design, manufacture, testing and maintenance of high voltage equipment and systems. It provides a common language and framework for high voltage testing that can help ensure these systems operate safely and reliably.

Overall, IEEE 4 is an important standard for anyone working with high-voltage equipment and systems, as it provides guidance on how to perform effective tests and interpret results consistently and reliably.
