The nominal design voltage is equal tophase-to-phase voltage on multiphase circuits.If there is no multiphase exposure in a system area, andthe voltage exposure is limited to phase (polarity on dcsystems) to

32、designvoltage may be considered as the phase-to-ground voltage onthat circuit.The formulas for determining the ac maximum use volt-age are as follows:Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4: Maximum ac use voltage = (95 % ofac test voltage) 2000 ac VClasses 1, 2, 3 and 4: Maximum ac use voltage = (95 % ofdc test volt

A largeX/R ratio corresponds to a large time constant and a slow rate of decay.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
