IEC 61952:2002 ED1

Insulators for overhead lines - Composite line post insulators for a.c. with a nominal voltage greater than 1000 V IEC 61952:2002 ED1

Publication date:   Jul 30, 2002

Scope

Applies to composite line post insulators consisting of a load-bearing, cylindrical, insulating solid core made up of fibres - usually glass - in a resin-based matrix, a housing (outside the insulating core) made of elastomer material (e.g. silicone or ethylene-propylene) and end fittings permanently attached to the insulating core.

The object of this standard is to
- define the terms used,
- prescribe test methods,
- prescribe acceptance or failure criteria

This standard does not include requirements dealing with the choice of insulators for specific operating conditions.
