Using an isolating transformer to reduce transient overvoltages according to IEC 61800-5-1
This drops overvoltage category III to overvoltage category II, thereby reducing the
requirements for insulation capacity of the air. Additional voltage derating (reduction of the
input voltage) is not required if the following framework conditions are observed:
● The isolating transformer must be fed from a low-voltage or medium-voltage network and
● The isolating transformer may be connect to one or more cabinet units.
● The cables between the isolating transformer and the cabinet unit(s) must be routed in
● The following types of system are permissible:

– IT systems (operation with a ground fault must be restricted to the shorted possible
time).
