Based on standard EN 50522, the touch voltage values are determined depending on the duration
of the damage.

3. Validity of Conditions
First Condition UE<=2*Utp Not fullfilled because the minimal value
UE1 = 414.8 < 2 ⋅ Utp1 = 332.143

Second Condition UE<=4*Utp Fullfilled because the minimal value

UE1 = 414.8 < 4 ⋅ Utp1 = 664.286
