the withstand voltage of home appliances or electronic equipment in gen-
eral. The impulse voltage is mainly used for high-impedance equipment,
and its maximum value is taken as 6 kV. On the other hand, the impulse
current is mainly for low-impedance equipment, and its peak value is taken
as 3 kA [18,19].
In addition, ring waves of 6 kV/500 A with 0.5 μs/100 kHz and of 0.6 kV/12 0
A with 1.5 μs/5 kHz are recommended by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers for insulation tests of home appliances [4,18].
As for an induced LS in a communication line, an impulse voltage with
10/200 μs is used [18], and an impulse voltage of 1.5 kV with 10/700 μs is
widely recom
