12、 i 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 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 establishe

13、d when, in the judgment of the 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 consid

14、ered, and that a concerted effort 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, proc

15、esses, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an Ame

16、rican National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any t

17、ime. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

21、ational Electrical Manufacturers Association) Standards for Wet-Process Porcelain Insulators (Spool Type), EEI TDJ-53, NEMA 141-1952. Subsequent revisions were developed by the American National Standards Committee on Insulators for Electric Power Lines, ASC C-29. The principal differences between t

22、his edition and the previous (1982) edition are revisions to the color and marking requirements, inclusion of U.S. customary units in the Table of Dimensions, and a change in the acceptance criteria for the transverse strength test. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome. They shou

23、ld be sent by the date of its next scheduled revision (December 31, 2020) to: Senior Technical Director, Operations National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 900 Rosslyn, VA 22209 This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards

30、 ANSI/NEMA C29.3-2015 Page 1 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1 Scope This standard covers spool-type insulators made of wet-process porcelain and used in the transmission and distribution of electric energy. 2 Referenced Standards This standard is intended to be used in conjunctio

31、n with the latest approved revisions of the following standards: ANSI C29.1 Test Methods for Electrical Power Insulators ASTM D 1535 Standard Practice for Specifying Color by the Munsell System 3 Definitions See Section 2 of ANSI C29.1 for definitions of terms. 4 General 4.1 Insulators shall conform

32、 in all respects to the requirements of this standard. The text and figures supplement each other and shall be considered part of this standard. 4.2 Manufacturers drawings, if furnished, shall show the outline of the insulators, together with all pertinent dimensions. Any variations in these dimensi

33、ons due to manufacturing tolerances shall be indicated. 4.3 When specified in the clauses below, the following re-test procedure applies: If only one insulator fails to comply with the applicable test, a new sample equal to twice the quantity originally submitted to that test shall be subjected to r

34、etesting. If two or more insulators fail to comply, or if any failure occurs during the retesting, the complete lot is considered as not complying with the requirements of this standard. 5 Material 5.1 The insulator shall be made of commercial-grade wet-process porcelain that meets the mechanical an

35、d electrical requirements of this standard. 5.2 The surface of the shells exposed after the assembly shall be glazed for porcelain insulators. NOTEThe most commonly requested color for porcelain is gray. If gray is required, it shall be in accordance with ASTM D 1535, Standard Practice for Specifyin

36、g Color by the Munsell System, and shall conform to Munsell notation 5BG 7.0/0.4 with the following tolerances: a) Hue: 12(3G to 7B) b) Value: 0.5 c) Chroma: -0.2 to +0.6 Other colors are available and can be negotiated between purchaser and supplier. 6 Dimensions and Characteristics 6.1 Figures 1-5

37、 (see pages 4-8) are drawings of insulator types. Dimensions and characteristics of the insulators shall be in accordance with these figures. 6.2 When specified, neck designations and dimensions shall be as shown in Table 1.

The marking shall be legible and durable. 8 Sampling, Inspection, and

40、 Tests 8.1 GENERAL Tests described in 8.2 shall be required only on insulators of new designs. Tests described in 8.3 shall be required on each lot of insulators. 8.2 DESIGN TESTS 8.2.1 Low-Frequency Dry Flashover Test Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with Sectio

41、n 4.2 of ANSI C29.1, “Low-Frequency Dry Flashover Voltage Tests.” Failure of the average dry flashover value of the three insulators to equal or exceed 95% of the rated dry flashover value, as given in the applicable figure, shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard. 8.2.2 L

42、ow-Frequency Wet Flashover Test Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with Section 4.3 of ANSI C29.1, “Low-Frequency Wet Flashover Tests.” Failure of the average wet flashover value of the three insulators to equal or exceed 90% of the rated wet flashover value, as gi

43、ven in the applicable figure, shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard. 8.3 QUALITY CONFORMANCE TESTS 8.3.1 Dimensional Test Three insulators shall be selected at random from the lot and their dimensions checked against the dimensions on the manufacturers drawing. Failure o

44、f one or more of these insulators to conform, within manufacturing tolerances, to the dimensions on this drawing shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the requirements of this standard. 8.3.2 Visual Test If visual inspection is required on lots of 500 or more insulators, 50 insulators shall be

45、 selected at random from the lot. If more than four but fewer than 10 of the insulators fail to meet the requirements of 5.2, 100 additional insulators shall be selected at random from the same lot. Failure of more than a total of 10 insulators from both the first and second samples shall constitute

46、 failure of the lot to meet the requirements of this standard. ANSI/NEMA C29.3-2015 Page 3 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 8.3.3 Porosity Test A minimum of three specimen samples shall be selected from insulators destroyed in other tests and tested in accordance with Section 5.4 o

47、f ANSI C29.1, “Porosity Test.” Penetration of the dye into the body of the dielectric shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the requirements of this standard. 8.3.4 Transverse-Strength Test Five insulators shall be randomly selected and tested in accordance with Section 5.1.6 of ANSI C29.1, “S

48、pool Insulators (Transverse Strength).” Failure of the strength of any of the five insulators to meet the strength requirements given in the applicable figure shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the requirements of this standard. The re-test procedure in Section 4.3 is applicable to this tes
