It is identical to IEC 61109:2008.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical CommitteePEL/36, Insulators for power systems.A list of organizations represented on this committee ca

The UKCommittee is of the opinion that work carried

4、out before and after BS EN62217:2005 was published shows that the flammability test is not suitablefor assessing the power arc performance of insulators. The correlationbetween performance in different flammability tests, laboratory power arctests and behaviour in service is currently under investig

When applying this standard,users are recommended to consult the power arc tests in ANSI C29.18 or IEC60099-4 surge arrestor specifications in addition to the test in Tabl

6、es 1 and 2.The ANSI test also usefully includes an end fitting seal test after power arcdamage.This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract.

31、S EN 61109:2008 6 61109 IEC:2008 INTRODUCTION Composite insulators consist of an insulating core, bearing the mechanical load protected by a polymeric housing, the load being transmitted to the core by end fittings. Despite these common features, the materials used and the construction details emplo

32、yed by different manufacturers may be quite different. Some tests have been grouped together as “Design tests“, to be performed only once on insulators which satisfy the same design conditions. For all design tests of composite suspension and tension insulators, the appropriate common clauses define

33、d in IEC 62217 are applied. As far as practical, the influence of time on the electrical and mechanical properties of the components (core material, housing, interfaces etc.) and of the complete composite insulators has been considered in specifying the design tests to ensure a satisfactory life-tim

34、e under normally known stress conditions of transmission lines. An explanation of the principles of the damage limit, load coordination and testing is presented in Annex A. It has not been considered useful to specify a power arc test as a mandatory test. The test parameters are manifold and can hav

35、e very different values depending on the configurations of the network and the supports and on the design of arc-protection devices. The heating effect of power arcs should be considered in the design of metal fittings. Critical damage to the metal fittings resulting from the magnitude and duration

36、of the short-circuit current can be avoided by properly designed arc-protection devices. This standard, however, does not exclude the possibility of a power arc test by agreement between the user and manufacturer. IEC 61467 11gives details of a.c. power arc testing of insulator sets. Composite insul

37、ators are used in both a.c. and d.c. applications. In spite of this fact, a specific tracking and erosion test procedure for d.c. applications as a design test has not yet been defined and accepted. The 1 000 h a.c. tracking and erosion test of IEC 62217 is used to establish a minimum requirement fo

38、r the tracking resistance of the housing material. The mechanism of brittle fracture has been investigated by CIGRE B2.032and conclusions are published in 2, 3. Brittle fracture is a result of stress corrosion induced by internal or external acid attack on the resin bonded glass fibre core. CIGRE D1

39、.14 has developed a test procedure for core materials based on time-load tests on assembled cores exposed to acid, along with chemical analysis methods to verify the resistance against acid attack 4. In parallel IEC TC36WG 12 is studying preventive and predictive measures. Composite suspension/tensi

40、on insulators are not normally intended for torsion or other non-tensile loads. Guidance on non-standard loads is given in Annex C. Wherever possible, IEC Guide 111 5 has been followed for the drafting of this standard. _1Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography. 2International Council o

42、s International Standard applies to composite suspension/tension insulators consisting of a load-bearing cylindrical insulating solid core consisting of fibres usually glass in a resin-based matrix, a housing (outside the insulating core) made of polymeric material and end fittings permanently attac

43、hed to the insulating core. Composite insulators covered by this standard are intended for use as suspension/tension line insulators, but it should be noted that these insulators can occasionally be subjected to compression or bending, for example when used as phase-spacers. This standard can be app

44、lied in part to hybrid composite insulators where the core is made of a homogeneous material (porcelain, resin), see Clause 8. The object of this standard is to define the terms used, prescribe test methods, prescribe acceptance criteria. This standard does not include requirements dealing with the

45、choice of insulators for specific operating conditions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
