AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of th

13、e ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted ef

14、fort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conf

C29.2B-2013 Page i 2013 National Electrical Manufacturers Association FOREWORD (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard C29.2 B-2013) This standard has its origins in one of a series of standards issued 1952 by the Joint Committee on Insulator Standards of the Edison Elect

21、ric Institute and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. That original 1952 standard was designated as: EEI-NEMA Standards for Wet-Process Porcelain Insulators (Suspension Type), EEI Publication Number TDJ-52, NEMA 140-1952. Several subsequent revisions were made and issued by the Americ

22、an Standards Association, Inc., and more recently by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), as an American National Standard. ANSI C29.2-2012 has now been divided into two parts; C29 A and C29 B, where insulators with shell diameters less than 9 inches (228.6 mm) now are covered by C29.2A

23、 and those with shell diameters of at least 9 inches (228.6 mm) now are being covered by C29.2B. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent by the date of its next scheduled revision which is December 31st, 2015 to: Senior Technical Director, Operations Nationa

34、 additional information on methods of computation such as those given in 8.3.4. 8.3.3 Galvanizing Test C29.2B-2013 Page 6 2013 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Five pieces representative of each type of galvanized hardware used with the insulators shall be selected at random and tested

35、in accordance with Section 6 of ANSI C29.1. Five to ten measurements shall be randomly distributed over the entire surface. Both the average thickness value for each individual specimen and the average of the entire sample shall equal or exceed the following: Average of Entire Sample Average of Indi

36、vidual Specimen Hardware (except nuts/bolts) 3.4 mil 3.1 mil Nuts/bolts 2.1 mil 1.7 mil If the average of one specimen, or if the average of the entire sample, fails to comply with the table above, then the re-test procedure in section 4.4 shall be applied. 8.3.4 Combined Mechanical and Electrical-S

37、trength Test Ten assembled insulators shall be selected at random from the lot and tested in accordance with 5.2 of ANSI C29.1. The criteria for determining conformance with the standard are as follows: a) All insulators subjected to the combined mechanical and electrical-strength test shall equal o

38、r exceed the rated combined mechanical and electrical strengths as given in Table 2 of this standard. b) For all insulators listed in Table 2. SRatingX 3 Where: X is the average value obtained on the sample insulators tested S is the standard deviation obtained on the sample insulators tested The fa

39、ilure mode for each sample subjected to the combined mechanical and electrical-strength test shall be recorded. The re-test procedure in section 4.4 is applicable to this test. 8.3.5 Puncture Test Five assembled insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 4.11 of ANSI C29.1.

40、 The criterion for determining conformance to this standard is: No puncture shall occur below the specified puncture voltage. To provide information the test voltage may be raised until puncture occurs, and the puncture voltage recorded. The re-test procedure in section 4.4 is applicable to this tes

41、t. 8.3.6 Verification of Coupling Lock System Six ball-and-socket insulators shall be coupled in 3 strings of two units with the cotter key in the locking position. Each string shall then be subjected to an attempt to disengage the ball from the socket, applying relative movements by hand representa

42、tive of those encountered in use. The disengagement of any ball shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the requirements of this standard. C29.2B-2013 Page 7 2013 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 8.4 Routine tests 8.4.1 Cold-to-Hot Thermal Shock Test Each toughened glass shell shall

43、 be submitted to a thermal shock, bringing it from ambient temperature to a temperature at least 540F (300C) higher, and shall be maintained at the higher temperature for at least 1 minute. All toughened glass shells that fracture do not meet the requirements of this standard. 8.4.2 Hot-to-Cold Ther

44、mal Shock Test Each toughened glass shell shall be quickly and completely immersed in water at a temperature not exceeding 122F (50C), the shell having been heated by hot air or other suitable means to a uniform temperature of at least 180F (100C) higher than that of the water. All toughened glass s

45、hells that fracture do not meet the requirements of this standard. 8.4.3 Tension Proof Test Each assembled insulator shall be subjected to a tension proof test in accordance with 7.2.1 of ANSI C29.1. The load applied shall be that shown in Table 2. All insulators that fail do not meet the requiremen

46、ts of this standard. 8.4.4 Flashover Test Each porcelain insulator shall be subjected to a routine flashover test in accordance with 7.1 of ANSI C29.1. All insulators that puncture fail to meet the requirements of this standard. C29.2B-2013 Page 8 2013 National Electrical Manufacturers Association C
