Insulation according to IEC 664 / VDE 0110 (1/89)

Data for insulation coordination requires values for
  • rated voltage
  • pollution degree
  • overvoltage category
Overvoltage category
Classification of electrical equipment (here: relays) to the overvoltage to be expected.

Pollution degree
Classification of the pollution from external materials that affect the insulation.

Rated voltage
The voltage value above which the creepage distance is measured.
