This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 is the first part of the IEC/IEEE 62582 series of standards, containing background and guidelines for the application of methods for condition monitoring of electrical equipment important to safety of nuclear power plants. The detailed descriptions of the methods are given in the other parts, one part for each method. This part also includes some elements which are common to all methods.

This International Standard contains requirements for application of the IEC/IEEE 62582-series of methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipment important to safety of nuclear power plants. It also includes requirements which are common to all methods. The IEC/IEEE 62582-series of standards specify condition monitoring methods in sufficient detail to enhance the accuracy and repeatability, and provide standard formats for reporting the results. The methods specified are applicable to electrical equipment containing organic or polymeric materials. Some methods are especially designed for the measurement of condition of a limited range of equipment w...
