5、 ignition and extinction performance. The UK Committee is of the opinion that work carried out before and after BS EN 62217:2005 was published shows that the flammability test is not suitable for assessing the power arc performance of insulators. The correlation between performance in different flam

28、protected by an elastomeric housing, the loads being transmitted to the tube by metal fittings. Despite these common features, the materials used and the construction details employed by different manufacturers may vary. Some tests have been grouped together as “Design tests“ to be performed only on
29、ce for insulators of the same design and material. The design tests are performed in order to eliminate designs and materials not suitable for high-voltage applications. The relevant design tests defined in IEC 62217 are applied for composite hollow insulators; additional specific mechanical tests a
30、re given in this standard. The influence of time on the electrical and mechanical properties of the complete composite hollow insulator and its components (tube material, housing material, interfaces, etc.) has been considered in specifying the design tests in order to ensure a satisfactory lifetime
31、 under normal service conditions. These conditions may also depend on the equipment inside or outside the composite hollow insulators; however, this matter has not been covered in this standard. Test methods not specified in this standard may be considered for specific combinations of materials and
32、specific applications, and are a matter of agreement between manufacturers and users. In this standard, the term “user” in general means the equipment manufacturer using composite hollow insulators. The practical use of composite hollow insulators covers both a.c. and d.c. applications. In spite of
33、this fact a specific tracking and erosion test procedure for d.c. applications as a design test has not yet been defined and accepted. The 1 000 h a.c. tracking and erosion test of IEC 62217 is used to establish a minimum requirement for the tracking resistance of the housing material. This standard
34、 distinguishes between design tests and type tests because several general characteristics of a specific design and specific combinations of materials do not vary for different insulator types. In these cases results from design tests can be adopted for different insulator types. Pollution tests acc
35、ording to IEC 60507 are not included in this standard as they are generally not applicable. Such pollution tests performed on insulators made of non-ceramic materials do not correlate with experience obtained from service. Specific pollution tests for non-ceramic insulators are under consideration.
36、The mechanical characteristics of composite hollow insulators are quite different compared to those of hollow insulators made of ceramics. In order to determine the onset of mechanical deterioration of composite hollow insulators under the influence of mechanical stress, strain gauge measurements ar
37、e used. This standard refers to different characteristic pressures which are used for design and testing of composite hollow insulators. The term “maximum service pressure“ (MSP) is equivalent to the term “design pressure“ which is used in other standards for ceramic hollow insulators; however, this
38、 latter term is not used in this standard in order to avoid confusion with “design“ as used in “design tests“. General recommendations for the design and construction of composite hollow insulators are presented in Annex B. 5 EN 61462:2007COMPOSITE HOLLOW INSULATORS PRESSURIZED AND UNPRESSURIZED INS
39、ULATORS FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WITH RATED VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 1 000 V DEFINITIONS, TEST METHODS, ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Scope and object This International Standard applies to composite hollow insulators consisting of a load-bearing insulating tube made of resin i
40、mpregnated fibres, a housing (outside the insulating tube) made of elastomeric material (for example silicone or ethylene-propylene) and metal fixing devices at the ends of the insulating tube. Composite hollow insulators as defined in this standard are intended for general use (unpressurized) or fo
41、r use with a permanent gas pressure (pressurized). They are intended for use in both outdoor and indoor electrical equipment operating on alternating current with a rated voltage greater than 1 000 V and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz or for use in direct current equipment with a rated voltage
42、greater than 1 500 V. The object of this standard is: to define the terms used; to prescribe test methods; to prescribe acceptance criteria. This standard does not prescribe impulse voltage or power frequency voltage type tests, nor does it prescribe pollution tests because the withstand voltages ar
43、e not characteristics of the hollow insulator itself, but of the apparatus of which it ultimately forms a part. All the tests in this standard, apart from the thermal-mechanical test, are performed at normal ambient temperature. This standard does not prescribe tests that may be characteristic of th
44、e apparatus of which the hollow insulator ultimately forms a part. Further technical input is required in this area. NOTE 1 “Pressurized“ means a permanent gas or liquid pressure greater than 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) gauge. The gas can be dry air or inert gases, for example sulphur hexafluoride, nitrogen,
45、 or a mixture of such gases. NOTE 2 “Unpressurized“ means a gas or liquid pressure smaller than or equal to 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) gauge. NOTE 3 Composite hollow insulators are intended for use in electrical equipment, such as, but not limited to circuit-breakers, switch-disconnectors, disconnectors, ea
46、rthing switches, instrument- and power transformers, bushings. Additional testing defined by the relevant IEC equipment committee may be required. 6 EN 61462:20072 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
