27、GE GREATER THAN 1 000 V AC POWER ARC TESTS 1 Scope and object This International Standard applies to insulator strings and sets comprising string insulator units of ceramic material, glass or composite material for use on a.c. overhead lines and traction lines with a nominal voltage above 1 000 V an
28、d a frequency between 15 Hz and 100 Hz. This standard also applies to insulator strings or sets of similar design used in substations. This standard establishes a standard test procedure for power arc tests on insulator sets. It also establishes a standard test procedure for power arc tests on short
29、 strings. This standard does not apply to insulator sets mounted on non-metallic poles or towers. This standard cannot be directly applied to line post insulators or sets, or to insulating structures such as braced line-posts, since their mounting arrangement cannot be reproduced by the standard arr
30、angements as described herein. However, this standard can be used as a basis for agreement for tests on such insulators and arrangements. The object of this standard is to define the terms used, to prescribe a standard test procedure, to prescribe criteria to evaluate the results of the tests. Power
31、 arc tests are not an obligatory element of line insulator specifications. The standard test procedures and the evaluation criteria described in this standard are intended to provide testing guidance when power arc tests are felt to be necessary. It is not the object of this standard to introduce a
32、general obligation to execute these tests. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

42、tro-)mechanical failing load SML Specified mechanical load 5 Characteristics of the test current The tests shall be made with single-phase alternating current. Initial asymmetry (d.c. component) shall not exceed 30 %. NOTE This requirement is explained by the fact that the flashovers on a contaminat
43、ed insulator set in service generally occur in the vicinity of a voltage peak, consequently with a minimal direct current component. For 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems, the frequency of the test circuit shall be from 45 Hz to 65 Hz. For other system frequencies, the frequency of the test supply shall not in
44、 principle deviate from the specified value by more than 10 %. By agreement with the user, tests may be performed at a higher or lower frequency than the intended operating frequency. The frequencies may vary within the above limits during each test. The test circuit shall be adequate to supply the
45、specified values of arc current (r.m.s) and arc duration. Annex C gives information on no-load voltages suggested to achieve specified current values. Unless agreed otherwise, the permissible tolerance of the arc current with respect to the specified r.m.s. value of the current is 10 %. The actual a
46、rc current during the test shall be practically sinusoidal. The r.m.s. value of the test current may be derived from the arithmetic mean of the peak values during the test duration (see Annex B). If the measuring equipment permits, the r.m.s. value may be calculated from the current function. The te
47、st current shall be essentially constant over the arcing time. During the arcing time, the following deviations from the specified value are permissible: the arc current crest values shall not deviate from the specified value )2(nI by more than 20 %; for arcing times greater than 0,2 s, the above to
48、lerance may be exceeded during not more than 20 % of the total arcing time. In any case, the product of the actual arc current and duration It shall be within 10 % of the product of the specified arc current and duration In x tn. BS EN 61467:200861467 IEC:2008 9 In cases where the movement of the ar
49、c root onto the tower or along the line conductor occurs, these tolerances may be exceeded. 6 Supply and return circuit conditions The supply and return circuits depend on the service conditions, notably on the location of the insulator set along the line and on the tower geometry. The characteristic cases to be simulated in tests are given in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 1 for complete sets and in Figure 3 for short strings. Ta
