The duration of the disturbances is of the order of milliseconds. The frequency, the level and the consequences of these emissions are considered as part of the normal electromagnetic environment of low voltage installations.

Inlet openings, if any, are left open; if knockouts are provided, one of them is opened. 9.7.1.2 Test conditions The humidity treatment is carried out in a humidity cabinet containing air with a relative humidity maintained between 91 % and 95 %. The temperature of the air in which the sample is placed is maintained within ± 1 °C of any convenient value T between 20 °C and 30 °C. Before being placed in the humidity cabinet, the sample is brought to a temperature between T and T +4 °C. 9.7.1.3 Test procedure The sample is kept in the cabinet for 48 h. NOTE 1 A relative humidity between 91 % and 95 % can be obtained by placing in the humidity cabinet a saturated solution of sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) or potassium nitrate (KNO3) in water having a sufficiently large contact surface with the air. NOTE 2 In order to achieve the specified conditions within the cabinet it is necessary to ensure constant circulation of the air within and, in general, to use a cabinet which is thermally insulated. 9.7.1.4 Condition of the circuit-breaker after the test After this treatment, the sample shall show no damage within the meaning of this standard and shall withstand the tests of 9.7.2, 9.7.3, 9.7.4, and 9.7.5.2. 9.7.2 Insulation resistance of the main circuit The circuit-breaker having been treated as specified in 9.7.1 is then removed from the cabinet. After an interval between 30 min and 60 min following this treatment, the insulation resistance is measured 5 s after application of a d.c. voltage of approximately 500 V, in the following order: a) with the circuit-breaker in the open position, between each pair of the terminals which are electrically connected together when the circuit-breaker is in the closed position, in turn on each pole; b) with the circuit-breaker in the closed position, between each pole and the others connected together; c) with the circuit-breaker in the closed position, between all poles connected together and the frame, including a metal foil or part in contact with the outer surface of the housing of insulating material but with the terminal areas kept completely free to avoid flashover between terminals and the metal foil; d) for circuit-breakers with a metal enclosure having an internal lining of insulating material, between the frame and a metal foil in contact with the inner surface of the lining of insulating material, including bushings and similar devices. The measurements a), b) and c) are carried out after having connected all auxiliary circuits to the frame. The term “frame” includes: — all accessible metal parts and a metal foil in contact with the surfaces of insulating material which are accessible after installation as for normal use; SIST EN 60898-1:2019
EN 60898-1:2019 (E) 14 — the surface on which the base of the circuit-breaker is mounted, covered, if necessary, with a metal foil; — screws and other devices for fixing the base to its support; — screws for fixing covers which have to be removed when mounting the circuit-breaker, — metal parts of operating means referred to in 8.2. If the circuit-breaker is provided with a terminal intended for the interconnection of protective conductors, this terminal is connected to the frame. For the measurements according to b), c) and d), the metal foil is applied in such a way that the sealing compound, if any, is effectively tested. The insulation resistance shall be not less than —

9.7.3 Dielectric strength of the main circuit After the circuit-breaker has passed the tests of 9.7.2 the test voltage specified is applied for 1 min between the parts indicated in 9.7.2. The test voltage shall have practically sinusoidal waveform, and a frequency between 45 Hz and 65 Hz. The source of the test voltage shall be capable of supplying a short-circuit current of at least 0,2 A. No overcurrent tripping device of the transformer shall operate when the current in the output circuit is lower than 100 mA. The values of the test voltage shall be as follows: — 2 000 V for items a) to c) of 9.7.2; — 2 500 V for item d) of 9.7.2; Initially, not more than half the prescribed voltage is applied, then it is raised to the full value within 5 s. No flashover or breakdown shall occur during the test. Glow discharges without drop in the voltage are neglected. 9.7.4 Insulation resistance and dielectric strength of auxiliary circuits
Insulation resistance and dielectric strength shall be verified according to a, b and c. a) The measurement of the insulation resistance and the dielectric strength tests for the auxiliary circuits are carried out immediately after the measurement of the insulation resistance and the dielectric strength tests for the main circuit, under the conditions given in b) and c) below. b) The measurements of the insulation resistance are carried out: — between the auxiliary circuits connected to each other and to the frame; — between each of the parts of the auxiliary circuits which might be isolated from the other parts in normal service and the whole of the other parts connected together, at a voltage of approximately 500 V d.c., after this voltage has been applied for 1 min.
c) A substantially sinusoidal voltage at rated frequency is applied for 1 min between the parts listed under b). The voltage values to be applied are specified in Table 13 SIST EN 60898-1:2019

NOTE 1 Discharges which do not correspond to a voltage drop are disregarded. NOTE 2 In the case of circuit breakers in which the auxiliary circuit is not accessible for verification of the requirements given in b), the tests can be made on samples specially prepared by the manufacturer or according to his instructions. NOTE 3 Auxiliary circuits do not include the control circuit of circuit breakers functionally dependent on line voltage. NOTE 4 Control circuits other than those of secondary circuit of detection transformers and control circuits connected to the main circuit are submitted to the same tests as the auxiliary circuits. 9.7.5 Verification of impulse withstand voltage
