* Voltage with clipped pulse

Notes:
a The pulse is determined by the peak voltage V , the internal resistance R , and the pulse duration t ; in all cases
S
i
d
small values of VS are correlated with small values of Ri and td, and high values of V S with high values of Ri and
td.
b If not otherwise agreed, use the upper voltage level (V S) with the upper value for internal resistance (Ri) or use
the lower voltage level with the lower value for internal resistance.
c Only referenced in Annex of the standard. Not in the actual Test Procedures of the standard.
