Standards ong od Insulators High Voltage Overhead Transmission ines To specify the correct porcelain long rod insulator, the following characteristics have to be defined: > specified mechanical failing load > minimum nominal creepage distance > environmental conditions and grade of pollution > type of coupling > standard lightning impulse withstand voltage > wet power frequency withstand voltage Designation PPC Insulators manufactures long rod insulators according to IEC 60433 (998) (including the former German standard DIN 48006 (986)). According to IEC 60433 a porcelain long rod insulator is, for example, defined as follows: 60 B 550 long rod insulator 60 specified mechanical failing load (kn) B ball and socket coupling C clevis coupling (when B is replaced by C) 550 standard lightning impulse withstand voltage [kv) ong od Insulators Standards ocking Devices or ball and socket couplings, split pins conforming to IEC 6037 (984) are normally used. Most of these pins also comply with DIN 48063 (978) = ÖNOM E430 (988) ÖNOM E43 (988) or ball and socket couplings complying to ÖNOM E404 (988) the locking is performed by a corresponding split pin. The clevis coupling is locked by a corresponding connecting bolt with grooved nut and cotter pin according to DIN 48073 These connecting bolts are not part of regular supplies, but upon customer request, PPC can procure these connecting bolts. Standards ong od Insulators According to the former German standard DIN 48006 the same insulator was defined as: P 75//50 P porcelain long rod insulator with ball According to the former Austrian standards ÖNOM a long rod insulator was defined as shown in the following example: 60/5-5 G and socket coupling porcelain long rod insulator with clevis coupling (when P is replaced by G) 75 core diameter (mm) number of sheds 50 total length of the long rod insulator (mm) porcelain long rod insulator with normal shed spacing 60 core diameter (mm) 5 number of sheds 5 mechanical failing load, average value (kn) Couplings Three types of couplings for porcelain long rod insulators are available: Ball and socket couplings conforming to. IEC 600 (987) = DIN 48064 (98) = ÖNOM E45 (988). ÖNOM E404 (988) Clevis couplings conforming to IEC 6047 (977) = DIN 48073 (975) = DIN 48074 (990) = ÖNOM E46 (984) Variations are made by changes in the initial letter as shown: H V N W standard design with normal creepage distance normal creepage distance with higher strength anti-pollution type fog type with alternating sheds PAGE 4 PAGE 5
Design ong od Insulators Shed Profiles according to Standard IEC 6085 Plain shed ong od Insulators Design Creepage Distances Porcelain long rod insulators are produced with different shed profiles to optimize performance according to environmental conditions and the grade of pollution. or example, this includes Design ong od Insulators Desert shed > og and Salt Pollution > Dust Pollution > Industrial Pollution Standard shed acc. to DIN shed profiles for coastal areas (fog and salt pollution) which require a high protected creepage distance aerodynamic shed profiles for areas with desert conditions (dust pollution) shed profiles for areas with heavy industrial pollution Alternating shed Electrical Values The insulation performance of a long rod insulator is a function of the length, creepage and arcing distance of the insulating part and follows the standard IEC 6007 (98-996). It should be noted that to provide an accurate picture of all electrical relationships, a real tower should be constructed with all relevant distances to earth in conjunction with insulators, arcing horns and protective devices. The recommendations of standard IEC 6085 (986) are valid for the design of the shed profiles of porcelain insulators and for the determination of the adequate tolerances.

Production ong od Insulators ong od Insula tors Insulating Material The insulator body of the unit is made from high quality aluminum oxide porcelain, C-30, which conforms to IEC 6067 (995-999). By customer request, we can also manufacture from aluminum oxide porcelain, C-0. Glazing provides a dirt repellent surface. Glazing is normally brown in color; however grey can also be provided upon request. Production Production ong od Insulators Marking Each porcelain long rod insulator carries the trademark of the PPC Insulators and of the manufacturing factory and the date of manufacture as well as the type designation and the specific mechanical failing load in accordance with standard IEC 60433. Inspection and Testing Porcelain long rod insulators are tested according to standard IEC 60383 (993). Cementing Cementing is provided with a lead-antimony alloy as standard although it is also possible to provide Portland cement or sulfur cement. Insulator Cap Material (ittings) Insulator caps are manufactured in malleable cast iron, in minimum EN-GJMB-550-4 or EN-GJMW-450-7, according to standard DIN EN 56 (997). The caps are hot dip galvanized according to standard DIN EN ISO 46 (999) with a zinc weight of min. 600 g/m (min. 85 µm) average value.

Application and Advantages ong od Insulators underribs on sheds not required as the core parts between the sheds contribute to insulation protection against power arcs is achieved by the addition of protective fittings > cascade flashovers are not possible > immune to thermal puncture minimum use of metal parts, which minimizes corrosion problems and also provides > lower weight for a complete insulator set > simpler mounting of strings > low level of H interference to radio and television transmissions long rod insulators can be used for tension and compression loads ong od Insulators Application and Advantages long rod insulators can be checked ultrasonically for mechanical soundness electrically and mechanically stressed zones are separated routine test load = 80% of the specified mechanical failing load long rod insulators are recommended for use in direct current applications because there is > no pin corrosion > no ion migration > no problems with thermal runaway effects minimum total life cycle costs through high reliability Application and Advantages ong od Insulators puncture proof ong rod insulators are solid core and the theoretical puncture path through the porcelain body is almost equal to the dry arcing distance. Since porcelain has several times the dielectric breakdown strength of air, flashover, if any, always occurs in the air outside the porcelain body. low surface leakage current resulting in reduced transmission losses self-fractures of long rod insulators made of aluminum oxide porcelain are not known the creepage distance is comprised of sheds and core parts which have > good self-cleaning properties with respect to climatic conditions > better insulation performance under pollution conditions packaging in crates offers the maximum protection during shipping and storage lowest maintenance costs insulator body made of aluminum oxide porcelain > high mechanical strength > free of internal stresses > no measurable aging > resistant to salt pollution > high resistance to temperature variations > high resistance to vandalism PAGE 0 PAGE
