UL840

1. Clearance

a) The first concept detailed in Section 7, Clearance A (Equivalency), of this standard is an alternative approach to measuring spacings currently defined in various product standards. This approach uses a dielectric voltage-withstand test impulse to evaluate equivalence of designed spacings to the predefined dimension. An actual reduction in spacings can be permitted through a refinement in manufacturing techniques while maintaining equivalent breakdown levels.

6.2节的a) :第7章电气间隙A是用耐压测试脉冲评估设计电气间隙与预定尺寸的等效性。

b) The second concept detailed in Section 8, Clearance B (Controlled Overvoltage), of this standard, a step in the insulation coordination process, is the selection of clearances based on the level of overvoltage protection and pollution degree.

7 Clearance A（Equivalency）

7.2 A clearance, less than the specified minimum through air spacing, in the product standard, may be suitable if acceptable results are obtained when tested in accordance with Section 14, Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Tests, using a voltage with a value in accordance with Table 7.1. For specified minimum clearances between the values in Table 7.1, interpolation may be used to determine the test voltage.

按照14章表格的要求进行试验，可以使用表7.1的最小电气间隙值。

8 Clearance B(Controlled Overvoltage)8.4.2 Surge protective devices may be employed in order to improve the transient impulse over-voltage control within an assembly and decrease required clearance distances. This reduction in required clearance distance is based on the voltage protection rating (VPR) of the surge protective device and the resulting clearance distance as shown in Table 8.1. The surge protective device shall comply with 8.4.1 and items a) and b) below:
用浪涌保护装置，减少电气间隙。电气间隙的减少是基于浪涌保护装置的电压保护额定值（VPR）和表8.1中所示的电气间隙。浪涌保护装置应符合8.4.1和以下a）和b）项的要求：

    2. A Nominal Current Discharge Rating (In) or Operating Duty Cycle based on a kV/kA combination test waveform equal to the impulse voltage value given in Table 8.2 and current value equal to rated impulse voltage divided by the circuit impedance on the input side of the surge protective device plus 2 ohms. The impulse voltage withstand value chosen shall be at least equal to the impulse voltage withstand value in Table 8.1 based the system input voltage and Over-Voltage Category of the equipment under test, or.
    3. The entire assembly complies with the Operating Duty Cycle testing as outlined in the Standard for Surge Protective Devices, UL 1449, using a combination waveform as defined in item 1 above.

   1. Type 1 applications when used on the line side of service equipment,

其中浪涌保护装置要符合8.4.1和以下a）和b）项中最重要的要求是符合UL 1449《浪涌保护装置标准》与通过表8.2的测试.

综上所述，电气间隙的确定可以通过：

①通过表14.1的测试后，通过测试耐压来确定电气间隙是否合适；

②选用一个符合UL1449并能通过表8.2测试的浪涌保护器后，再根据表8.1来确定电气间隙需求。

UL 2202标准中的距离很大，且标准中说也可以用UL 840来考量距离，所以才研究的

最近也在学习UL1741,发现对与这个operating voltage有疑问。对于光伏逆变器，需要考虑直流侧（PV端，电池端）提供得直流电压吗？这种直流电压一般可达1000V-1500V高？对于整机得电气间隙与爬电距离我该怎么考虑呢？

哦  忘了说前提  UL1741也说了 针对电气间隙与爬电距离需要参考标准UL840
