NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) which is identical with IEC 61083- 2 : 2013 ‘Instruments and software used for measurement in high-voltage and high current tests — Part 2: Requirements for software for tests with impulse voltages and currents’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the High Voltage Engineering Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.

The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations.

This standard was first published in 2006 in dual number identical to IEC 61083-2 : 1996. This revision has been taken up to keep pace with the revision of corresponding IEC standard. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
