This part of IEC 60664 deals with insulation coordination for equipment within low-voltage
systems. It applies to equipment for use up to 2 000 m above sea level having a rated voltage
up to a.c. 1 000 V with rated frequencies up to 30 kHz, or a rated voltage up to d.c. 1 500 V.
It specifies the requirements for clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation for
equipment based upon their performance criteria. It includes methods of electric testing with
respect to insulation coordination.
The minimum clearances specified in this standard do not apply where ionized gases occur.
Special requirements for such situations may be specified at the discretion of the relevant
technical committee.
This standard does not deal with distances
– through liquid insulation,
– through gases other than air,
– through compressed air.
