3.2 Valve construction terms
Add the following term and definition after 3.2.6 (introduced by Amendment 1):
3.2.7
multiple valve unit
MVU
single physical structure comprising more than one valve with a common mechanical support
structure
Page 19
4.2 Atmospheric correction
Replace the first dash by the following:
– pressure:
a) If the insulation coordination of the tested part of the thyristor valve is based on standard
rated withstand voltages according to IEC 60071-1, correction factors are only applied for
altitudes exceeding 1 000 m. Hence, if the altitude of the site a at which the equipment
s
=101,3 kPa)
will be installed is ≤1 000 m, then the standard atmospheric air pressure (b
shall be used with no correction for altitude. If a >1 000 m, then the standard procedure
s
according to IEC 60060-1 is used except that the reference atmospheric pressure b is
replaced by the atmospheric pressure corresponding to an altitude of 1 000 m (b ).
1 000 m
b) If the insulation coordination of the tested part of the thyristor valve is not based on
standard rated withstand voltages according to IEC 60071-1, then the standard procedure
according to IEC 60060-1 is used with the reference atmospheric pressure b
(b =101,3 kPa);
4.4 Criteria for successful type testing
In the first line, replace “ascertains that” by “shows that”.
