Start from the lowest limit in Table 1 and work up. >From your example #1: 30/60 <= 1; 35/(1.17*60) <= 1; both conditions true, therefore Um < 60. >From your example #2: 200/120 <= 1; NOT true, therefore go to next limit in Table 1; 200/2000 <= 1; 205/(1.17*2000) <= 1; both conditions true, therefore Um < 2000 Regards,

For those of you who have the standard, try using (for example) Udc = 30 V and Udcp = 35. The method outlined in the standard (with the formula given) will indicate that in this case, Um is 2000 Vdc. For a voltage Udc = 200 V, Udcp = 205, the method will indicate that the circuit lies in the Um = 120 V category. Either I am missing part of the "picture", or there is something wrong with the way that the formula is laid out. Hopefully somebody can make this clear for me.
