15、nal Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
16、 fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; an
17、y IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standar
18、dization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has repr
19、esentation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IE
20、C 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 National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publi
21、cations. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some area
22、s, 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 have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents includi

24、e upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elem
25、ents 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 IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technica
26、l 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 62730, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 36: Insulators. The text of this technical report is based
27、on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 36/305/DTR 36/316A/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, P
28、art 2. 4 TR 62730 IEC:2012(E) The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed,
29、 withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. TR 62730 IEC:2012(E) 5 INTRODUCTION IEC 62217 1 1included three different tracking and erosion tests. One, the 1 000 hour salt- fog test, was included in the main text as a d
30、efault test and two others, the 5 000 hour test and the tracking wheel test, were given in annexes as alternative tests. Following a decision by TC 36 it was decided that it was desirable to have a single standardised test in IEC 62217; hence a study of the usage and effectiveness of all three tests
31、 was undertaken by Working Group 12 of TC 36. The results of this study indicated that, while the 5 000h and the tracking wheel tests each had their advantages, only the 1 000 hour salt fog test was adapted to all insulator types and was more economical to perform. It was decided by TC 36 to adopt t
32、he 1 000 hour salt-fog test as the only standardised test. It was also decided to draft this Technical Report to reproduce the 5 000 hour and the tracking wheel test procedures in order to keep the information on the test methods and parameters available for those wishing to use those tests for rese
33、arch or other purposes. The tracking and erosion tests given in this technical report are considered as screening tests intended to reject materials or designs which are inadequate. These tests are not intended to predict long-term performance for insulator designs under cumulative service stresses.
34、 Composite insulators 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. IEC Guide 111 has been followed during preparation of this technical report wherever p

36、consists of one or various organic materials. Polymeric insulators covered by this technical report include both solid core and hollow insulators. They are intended for use on overhead lines and in indoor and outdoor equipment with a rated voltage greater than 1 000 V. The object of this technical r
37、eport is: to define the common terms used; to give the background behind the development and use of the 5 000 h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel test; to describe the test methods for the 5 000 h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel tests on polymeric insulators; to describe possib
38、le acceptance or failure criteria, if applicable; These tests, criteria and recommendations are intended to give a common basis for the 5 000h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel test when they are used for research or required as a supplementary design test. These tests are not mandatory an
39、d their use is subject to prior agreement between the interested parties. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
