NOTE: for the excitation curve test, the following standards apply:
1. IEC 60044-1; paragraph 14.4.1. The knee point is the voltage at which the increase of 10% of
voltage causes the increase of the 50% of the exciting current.
2. ANSI C57.13.1; chapter 9. When you plot a log-log diagram with the excitation current on the X
axis and the exciting voltage on the y axis, the knee point is the one where the tangent of the curve
is at 45°.
3. ANSI C57.13.1; chapter 9. When you plot a log-log diagram with the excitation current on the X
axis and the exciting voltage on the y axis, the knee point is the one where the tangent of the curve
is at 30°.
