Concepts of elec
38、trical and mechanical equivalence of post insulators have been introduced, and the clauses dealing with mechanical testing have been redrafted to clarify the test requirements.4 blankEN 60168:1994 BSI 06-2001 5 Section 1. General 1 1.1 Scope and object This International Standard IEC 168 is applicab
39、le to post insulators and post insulator units of ceramic material or glass, for indoor and outdoor use in electrical installations or equipment, operating on alternating current with a nominal voltage greater than 1 000 V and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz. This standard may be regarded as a p
40、rovisional standard for post insulators for use on d.c. systems. IEC 438 gives general guidance for those insulators. This standard does not apply to composite insulators, or to those indoor post insulators in organic material which are covered by another IEC standard 1 1) . The object of this stand
41、ard is to define: the terms used; the electrical and mechanical characteristics of post insulators; the conditions under which the specified values of these characteristics are verified; the methods of test; the acceptance criteria. Numerical values of characteristics of post insulators are specifie
42、d in IEC 273. This standard does not include requirements dealing with the choice of post insulators for specific operating conditions. NOTE 1 A guide for the choice of insulators under polluted conditions is available, see 2. NOTE 2 This standard does not include radio interference tests or artific
43、ial pollution tests. These subjects and relevant test methods are dealt with in other IEC publications, see 3, 4 and 5. NOTE 3 When this standard is applied to hollow post insulators, other IEC publications should also be taken into account, see 6 and 7. 1.2 Normative references The following normat
44、ive documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard
