The IET is carrying out some important updates between 17-30 April and all of our websites will be view only. For more information, read this Announcement

There is no limit to touch voltage in IEC 60364-4-41 for TN systems (as today)
For TT systems, same disconnection times, but touch voltage limited to 50 V by equipotential bonding. This is not the same as today.
The disconnection times in Table 41 A (TN systems) are AC only but otherwise as they are for TN systems today, way back to 1992 at least, perhaps before ... As below for the 1999 Ed for example:
U0 Disconnection time (s)
120 0.8
230 0.4
277 0.4
400 0.2
>400 0.1
So where are they getting wet locations from?
