Abstract IEC 60052 sets forth recommendations concerning the construction and use of
standard air gaps for the measurement of peak values of the following four types
of voltage:
a) alternating voltages of power frequencies;
b) full lightning impulse voltages;
c) switching impulse voltages;
d) direct voltages.
Air gaps constructed and used in accordance with this standard represent IEC
standard measuring devices in accordance with IEC 60060-2 and are primarily
intended for performance checks of high voltage measuring systems.
