56 FOREWORD
57 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
58 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
59 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
60 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
61 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
62 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
63 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
64 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
65 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
66 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
67 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
68 interested IEC National Committees.
69 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
70 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
71 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
72 misinterpretation by any end user.
73 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
74 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
75 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
76 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
77 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
78 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
79 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
80 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
81 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
82 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
83 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
84 Publications.
85 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
86 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
87 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
88 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
89 International Standard IEC 61643-361 has been prepared by subcommittee SC37B JWG5, of
90 IEC technical committee TC37
91 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

113 INTRODUCTION
114 This standard cover SITs (surge isolation transformers) whose rated impulse withstand
115 voltage coordinates with the expected surge environment of the installation location.
116 This type of surge protective component, SPC, isolates and attenuates transient voltage
117 in conjunction with current diverting components (or SPDs).
118 SITs are a product with specific enhanced insulation layers between the primary and
119 secondary windings and an shield (electric screen) inserted between primary and
120 secondary. With these shields and specific enhanced insulation layers, the surge that
121 appears between the primary winding and earth (common-mode) is greatly attenuated
122 and appears between the secondary winding and earth. SITs are product with a
123 particularly improved impulse withstand voltage compared to ordinary isolating
124 transformers.
125 SITs should be protected by SPDs at their primary side to avoid any damage to the SIT
126 itself. SITs are intended to be used in surge protection to establish lightning protection
127 zones.
