AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requ
12、ires 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 been reached by directly and materiall
13、y 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 National Standards is completely volunta
14、ry; 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. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and
15、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 American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addres
16、sed 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 Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.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 taken periodically to reaffirm, revise,

The prot
46、otype tests are described in Section 7. Only one series of tests are required for each class, as defined below. A. The core and housing are of the same materials composition and method of manufacture as the tested insulator. B. The end fittings are of the same design and material, and use the same m
47、ethod of attachment to the core as the tested insulator. C. The design sheath thickness is the same or greater than the insulator(s) tested. C29.17-2013 Page 3 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association D. The maximum cantilever bending moment stress in the core at SCL is the same or less th
48、an that for the tested insulator. E. The depth and design of the connection zone of the ground end fitting (most highly stressed) are the same as that for the tested insulator. The prototype test report will include a drawing of the insulator tested, with applicable dimensions. These dimensions will at a minimum include those defined for the applicable class. The prototype test will be performed only once for the same class of insulator. To allow for manufacturing variations, the weathersh
