15、RODUCTION, TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS OF POLYMER INSULATORS WITH RESPECT TO BRITTLE FRACTURE OF CORE MATERIALS FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). T
16、he object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Speci
17、fications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organization
18、s liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters
19、express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Co
20、mmittees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC Nat
21、ional Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself doe
22、s not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they ha

Use of the referenced publica
25、tions is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IE
26、C technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC 62662,
27、 which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 36: Insulators. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 36/294/DTR 36/297/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found
28、 in the report on voting indicated in the above table. 4 TR 62662 IEC:2010(E) This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web s
29、ite under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IMPORTANT The colour inside logo on the c
30、over page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. TR 62662 IEC:2010(E) 5 INTRODUCTION There is an urgent need within utilities and indust
31、ry for material standards, which define the physical properties of the polymers applied for outdoor insulation. As a first step, a state-of- the-art report was issued by CIGRE which led to the publication of IEC 62039. This IEC technical report presents as a conclusion of the CIGRE-report the import
32、ant material properties for polymeric materials used in outdoor insulation and, where applicable, lists the standardized test methods including the minimum requirements. The acid (brittle fracture) resistance of FRP core materials (see 3.7) was recognized as an important property for suspension/tens
33、ion composite insulators. This technical report presents more detailed guidance on this subject taking into account different insulator designs and production techniques. The risk of occurrence and the influencing parameters were evaluated by failure mode effect analysis (FMEA). Brittle fracture is
34、not the only failure mechanism for insulators in service and is generally less frequently observed than other modes, such as failure due to tracking and erosion. However, this subject is not yet covered by any IEC test procedures specifically designed to detect or prevent brittle fracture. 6 TR 6266
35、2 IEC:2010(E) GUIDANCE FOR PRODUCTION, TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS OF POLYMER INSULATORS WITH RESPECT TO BRITTLE FRACTURE OF CORE MATERIALS 1 Scope This technical report presents an analysis of the risk of influencing factors for brittle fracture of composite insulators that are mostly loaded in the ten
36、sile mode (suspension and tension insulators). Guidance is given to reduce the risk of in-service brittle fractures. This phenomenon is limited to tension and suspension insulators. However, the general information given concerning the importance of various parameters can be used as a guideline for
37、the design and production of any kind of composite insulator. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

40、r polyester. The FRP core is the integral load- carrying part of a composite insulator 3.2 stress corrosion cracking SCC failure of material subjected to a constant tensile stress in a corrosive environment 3.3 brittle fracture abnormal and sudden breakage of FRP core materials with well-defined cha
41、racteristic fracture patterns NOTE Before brittle fracture, no apparent plastic deformation takes place. In the case of FRP core materials, brittle fracture is caused by SCC. 3.4 failure mechanism principal and fundamental process that leads to a characteristic failure, e.g. brittle fracture TR 6266
42、2 IEC:2010(E) 7 NOTE A failure mechanism may have several modes of final failure. 3.5 failure mode specific failure scenario or optional path of a failure mechanism 3.6 sealing system technical arrangement to prevent the ingress of moisture, gases, etc., at a material transition point exposed to the
43、 environment 3.7 failure mode effect analysis FMEA standardized risk assessment tool generally used for failure prevention 3.8 damage degradation of a component leading to penetration by acid or moisture 4 Description of brittle fracture Brittle fracture is the commonly used term for stress corrosio
44、n-induced failure of insulator core rods manufactured from resin bonded glass fibre material (RBGF, commonly known as fibre reinforced plastic FRP). This failure mechanism results in a complete mechanical separation of the core (normally near the energized end fitting), and can occur at tensile load
45、s well below the rated mechanical strength of the insulators. In addition to a (minimum) tensile stress of approximately 50 MPa, the brittle fracture mechanism requires the presence of acid from either external or internal sources. The chemical process of stress corrosion is an ion exchange mechanis
46、m whereby ions in the glass fibres are replaced by hydrogen ions from the acid (see IEC/TR 62039). Figure 1 Typical brittle fracture IEC 2042/10 8 TR 62662 IEC:2010(E) 5 Identification of brittle fracture The macroscopic features associated with the brittle fracture of an FRP core rod have been desc
47、ribed by CIGRE 21 . A typical brittle fracture is shown in Figure 1. The fracture surfaces typically have the following characteristics: a smooth, clean, planar surface perpendicular to the core axis, comprising a portion of the rod cross-section. Multiple failure planes separated by axial delaminat
48、ion may be present; normal tensile fracture (fibrous) in the remaining rod cross-section. In addition to these macroscopic features, confirmation of the brittle fracture mechanism is possible through the identification of several distinctive features of the fracture surface of the individual glass f
49、ibres using scanning electron microscopy 3. The mirror zone is a smooth region perpendicular to the fibre axis that includes the stress corrosion initiation site for the individual fibre and may cover from 90% of the fibre cross-section. The hackle zone is a rough region on the fibre fracture surface that failed mainly due to mechanical stresses. The mist zone is a transition zone between the mirror and hackle zones and is intermediate in roughness. C
