AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval o
12、f 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 the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has be
13、en 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 effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American Nati
14、onal 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 conforming to the standards.

Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests
16、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 Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be tak

20、ectrical Manufacturers Association FOREWORD (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard C29.10-1989 (R2002, R2012) In this standard are specified the material, dimensional, and performance requirements for indoor apparatus wet-process porcelain insulators used in electric power transmis
21、sion and distribution. Included are requirements for testing thermal and mechanical strength, impulse and dew withstand values, flashover value, porosity, and, when galvanized hardware is used, coating thickness. This standard supersedes ANSI C37.31-1962 (R1976), which had been developed by the Accr
22、edited Standards Committee on Power Switchgear, C37, and approved as an American National Standard on April 17, 1962. Responsibility for this standard has been transferred to the Accredited Standards Committee on Insulators for Electric Power Lines, C29, by mutual agreement between both committees.
23、The purpose of this revision and redesignation is to bring the standard up to date and in line with present-day requirements. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 1300 North 17th Street, Rosslyn, VA 22

33、2 REFERENCED STANDARDS 2.1 American National Standard. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with American National Standard for Electrical Power Insulators Test Methods, ANSI C29.1-1988 (R2012). When the referenced standard is superseded by a revision approved by the American National
34、 Standards Institute, Inc, the revision shall apply. 2.2 Other Standard. This standard is also intended to be used in conjunction with the following standards: ASTM A 153-82 (1987), Specifications for Zinc Coating (Hot Dip) on Iron and Steel Hardware ASTM D 1535-80, Method for Specifying Color by th

46、ators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 5.1.4.4 of ANSI C29.1-1988. Failure of the average strength of the three insulators to meet the strength requirements given in the applicable table, or failure of any one insulator to equal 85 percent of that strength requirement, shall
47、 constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard. 8.2.4 Thermal Shock. Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested for ten complete cycles in accordance with 5.5 of ANSI C29.1-1988. The temperature of the hot-water bath shall be approximately 150F (66C), and the temperature
48、of the cold-water bath shall be approximately 39F (4C). At the end of the tenth cycle, the test specimens shall be checked for electrical soundness. If one insulator fails, three additional insulators shall be selected at random and tested. Failure of more than one insulator from the first sample, o
49、r from the first and second samples combined, shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard.
