General 1 Scope This part of IEC 383 applies to insulator strings and insulator sets comprising string insulator units of ceramic material or glass for use
28、 on a.c. overhead power lines with a nominal voltage greater than1000V and a frequency not greater than100Hz. This part of IEC383 also applies to insulator strings and insulator sets for use on d.c. overhead electric traction lines. This part of IEC 383 also applies to insulator strings and insulato
29、r sets of similar design when used in substations. It may be regarded as a provisional standard for insulator strings and insulator sets for use on d.c. overhead power lines and for composite insulator sets. The object of this part of IEC383 is to prescribe standard electrical test procedures and ac
30、ceptance criteria to verify the defined characteristics of insulator strings and insulator sets falling within the scope of the part of IEC383. These tests and characteristics are intended to give a common base to designers, users and suppliers of overhead lines, insulators and line equipment when d
31、efinition, evaluation or verification of the electrical characteristics of such equipment is required. These tests are not intended to be mandatory tests on insulators whether supplied individually or as strings or as sets. NOTE 1Tests on string insulator units are dealt with in IEC383-1. Tests on c
32、omposite insulators are dealt with in IEC1109. NOTE 2This part does not include artificial pollution or radio-interference tests. These subjects and relevant test methods are dealt with in the following IEC reports: IEC437: Report radio interference test on high-voltage insulators. IEC507: Report ar
33、tificial pollution tests on high-voltage insulators to be used on a.c. systems. NOTE 3Power arc tests are currently under study. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC 383.

45、lse withstand voltage; c) the specified wet power-frequency withstand voltage. The applicability of these characteristics as a function of the highest voltage for equipment shall be determined by reference to IEC71-1,IEC71-2 and IEC71-3 Insulation co-ordination. Operating voltage is not to be consid
46、ered as a characteristic of an insulator string or an insulator set. The flash-over and withstand voltages of insulators under service conditions may differ from the flash-over and withstand voltages under standard conditions. This effect has been recognized with lightning impulse testing, especiall
47、y for very high voltages of equipment, but the effect of ambient conditions and the arrangement of insulators and associated metalwork is much greater with switching impulses due to the differences in electric field distribution between the standard test arrangement and the mounting arrangement in s

49、ositions of all the metal parts. Therefore, the verification of the specified switching impulse withstand voltage is generally required with a mounting arrangement which closely represents service conditions. The details of the mounting arrangement shall then be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of ordering.EN 60383-2:1995 6 BSI 03-1999 Section 2.
