4 383-2 IEC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION INSULATORS FOR OVERHEAD LINES WITH A NOMINAL VOLTAGE ABOVE V Part 2: Insulator strings and insulator sets for a.c. systems - Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria FOREWORD 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with. 3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. International Standard IEC has been prepared by sub-committee 36B: Insulators for overhead lines, of IEC technical committee 36: Insulators. Pa rt 2, together with Part 1, replaces the third edition of IEC 383 (1983) and constitutes a technical revision. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: DIS 36B(CO)88 Report on Voting 36B(CO)92 Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the repo rt on voting indicated in the above table. IEC 383 consists of the following pa rts, under the general title: Insulators for overhead lines with a nominal voltage above 1000 V. Pa rt 1: Ceramic or glass insulator units for a.c. systems Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria. Part 2: Insulator strimps and insulator sets for a.c. systems Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria. Annex A is for information only.

5 383-2 IEC: INSULATORS FOR OVERHEAD LINES WITH A NOMINAL VOLTAGE ABOVE V Part 2: Insulator strings and insulator sets for a.c. systems - Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria Section 1: General 1 Scope This part of IEC 383 applies to insulator strings and insulator sets comprising string insulator units of ceramic material. or glass for use on a.c. overhead power lines with a nominal voltage greater than V and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz. This pa rt of IEC 383 also applies to insulator strings and insulator sets for use on d.c. overhead electric traction lines. This pa rt of IEC 383 also applies to insulator strings and insulator sets of similar design when used in substations. It may be regarded as a provisional standard for insulator strings and insulator sets for use on d.c. overhead power lines and for composite insulator sets. The object of this pa rt of IEC 383 is to prescribe standard electrical test procedures and acceptance criteria to verify the defined characteristics of insulator strings and insulator sets falling within the scope of the part of IEC 383. These tests and characteristics are intended to give a common base to designers, users and suppliers of overhead lines, insulators and line equipment when definition, evaluation or verification of the electrical characteristics of such equipment is required. These tests are not intended to be mandatory tests on insulators whether supplied individually or as strings or as sets. NOTES 1 Tests on string insulator units are dealt with in IEC Tests on composite insulators are dealt with in IEC This part does not include artificial pollution or radio-interference tests. These subjects and relevant test methods are dealt with in the following IEC reports: IEC 437: Report radio interference test on high-voltage insulators. IEC 507: Report artificial pollution tests on high-voltage insulators to be used on a.c. systems. 3 Power arc tests are currently under study.
