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

In case (b) of this clause, I do not understand how the decisive voltage
(classification) is to be correctly calculated.  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.
