Insulators for overhead lines - Composite line post insulators for alternative current with a nominal voltage > 1 000 V EN 61952:2003

Publication date:   Jul 30, 2004

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.
