ANNEXURE-A

Correction Factor for Insulation level as per IEC 62271-1 at site altitude of 1750 mtr above MSL:

As per IEC 62271-1, for installations at an altitude higher than 1000 mtr, the insulation withstand level of external insulation at the service location shall be determined
by multiplying the rated insulation levels by Altitude Correction Factor (K a).

Altitude Correction Factor:

m (H-1000)/8150
Ka = e
Ka = 1.096
Where, m = 1, H = 1750 (IRCON TSS).
Abbreviations:
Um = Highest equipment voltage
PFVrms = Rates short duration power frequency withstand voltage.
LIVpeak = Rated Lighting impulse withstand voltage
