ANSI/NEMA C29.5-2015 Page i AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires 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 th
13、e judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially 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 tha
14、t a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; 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 pro
15、cedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and 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 Nationa

Requests for interpretations should be addressed 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 CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.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 proc
17、edures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

21、ociation) standards for Wet-Process Porcelain Insulators (Low- and Medium-Voltage Pin Type), EEI TDJ-55, NEMA 143-1952. Subsequent revisions have been developed by the Standards Committee on Insulators for Electric Power Lines, C29. The principal differences between this edition and the previous (19
22、84) edition are revisions to the color and marking requirements, addition of more specific requirements for conductor groove dimensions, and a change in the acceptance criteria for the cantilever strength test. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcomed. They should be sent by the dat
23、e of its next scheduled revision (December 31, 2020) to: Senior Technical Director, Operations National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 900 Rosslyn, VA 22209 This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) on I

32、ced Standards This standard is intended for use in conjunction with the latest approved revisions of the following American National Standards: ANSI C29.1 Test Methods for Electrical Power Insulators ANSI C29.6 Wet-Process Porcelain Insulators High-Voltage Pin Types ASTM D 1535 Standard Practice for
33、 Specifying Color by the Munsell System 3 Definitions See Section 2 of ANSI C29.1 for definitions of terms. 4 General 4.1 Insulators shall conform in all respects to the requirements of this standard. The text and figures supplement each other and shall be considered part of this standard. 4.2 Manuf
34、acturers drawings, if furnished, shall show the outline of the insulators, together with all pertinent dimensions. Any variations in these dimensions due to manufacturing tolerances shall be indicated. 4.3 When specified in the clauses below, the following re-test procedure applies: If only one insu
35、lator fails to comply with the applicable test, a new sample equal to twice the quantity originally submitted to that test shall be subjected to retesting. If two or more insulators fail to comply, or if any failure occurs during the retesting, the complete lot is considered as not complying with th
36、e requirements of this standard. 5 Material 5.1 The insulators shall be made of commercial-grade wet-process porcelain that meets the mechanical and electrical requirements of this standard. 5.2 The surface of the shells exposed after the assembly shall be glazed for porcelain insulators. Note: The
37、most commonly requested color for porcelain is gray. If gray is required, it shall be in accordance with ASTM D 1535, Standard Practice for Specifying Color by the Munsell System, and shall conform to Munsell notation 5BG 7.0/0.4 with the following tolerances: a) Hue: 12(3G to 7B) b) Value: 0.5 c) C
38、hroma: -0.2 to +0.6 Other colors are available and can be negotiated between purchaser and supplier. 6 Dimensions and Characteristics 6.1 Figures 1-7 are drawings of insulator types. Dimensions and characteristics of the insulators shall be in accordance with these figures. ANSI/NEMA C29.5-2015 Page
