EVS-EN IEC 62561-8:2026

This document specifies the requirements and tests for components used for electrically insulated LPS. These components, which can reduce the separation distance, are as follows:
– insulating stand-offs, used in conjunction with an air-termination system and downconductors with the aim of maintaining the proper separation distance;
– insulating down-conductors, including their specific fasteners.
Testing of insulating stand-offs and insulating down-conductor components for an explosive atmosphere is not covered by this document.
