electrical characteristics FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees) The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”) 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 nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation 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 IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication

bearing cylindrical insulating core, a housing and end fittings attached to the insulating core [SOURCE: IEC 62231:2006, 3.1] 3.2 creepage distance shortest distance or the sum of the shortest distances along the surface on an insulator between two conductive parts which normally have the operating voltage between them –6– BS EN 62231-1:2016 IEC 62231-1:2015 © IEC 2015 Note to entry: The surface of cement or of any other non-insulating jointing material is not considered as forming part of the creepage distance Note to entry: If a high resistance coating is applied to parts of the insulating part of an insulator, such parts are considered to be effective insulating surfaces and the distance over them is included in the creepage distance [SOURCE: IEC 60050-471:2007, 471-01-04] 3.3 end fitting integral component or formed part of an insulator, intended to connect it to a supporting structure, or to a conductor, or to an item of equipment, or to another insulator Note to entry: Where the end fitting is metallic, the term “metal fitting” is normally used [SOURCE: IEC 60050-471:2007, 471-01-06] 3.4 maximum design cantilever load MDCL cantilever load level above which damage to the insulator begins to occur and that should not be exceeded in service [SOURCE: IEC 62231:2006, 3.18] 3.5 specified cantilever load SCL cantilever load which can be withstood by the

systems usually the highest voltage for equipment U m /√3) which is generally expressed in mm/kV and specified as a minimum value Note to entry: This definition differs from that of Specific Creepage Distance where the phase-to-phase value of the highest voltage for the equipment is used For phase-to-earth insulation, this definition will result in a value that is √3 times that given by the definition of Specific Creepage Distance in IEC 60815:1986 [SOURCE: IEC 60815-1:2008, 3.1.6, modified definition and Note to entry] Mechanical and dimensional characteristics Composite station post

part, • metal fitting (end fitting) arrangement (see Clause 9) Tables 1a and 1b give a minimum creepage distance for each insulator along with the highest voltage for equipment based on a unified specific creepage distance (USCD) of 34,7 mm/kV or 43,3 mm/kV (phase-to-earth) This voltage is given for information only These USCD are regarded as a representative value of the medium (c) and heavy (d) pollution classes as defined in IEC 60815-1 Table gives similar information for insulators based on North American practice, with a USCD of 27,8 mm/kV corresponding to the light pollution class (b) Creepage distances different to those given in the Tables can also be considered for the insulators intended for use in various polluted conditions Further information on USCD and selection of the insulators for polluted conditions can be found in IEC 60815-1 and 60815-3 Electrical characteristics Composite station post insulators are characterized by the following electrical characteristics, values of which are specified in Tables and • dry lightning impulse withstand voltage, • wet power frequency withstand voltage Designation Composite station post insulators are designated in Tables 1a, 1b and as follows: • by the letters CSP or NCSP followed by a number indicating the dry lightning impulse withstand voltage in kilovolts; • then followed by the letter A or B, representing the pitch circle diameter of top and bottom metal fittings (A:76mm, B:127mm); –8– BS EN 62231-1:2016 IEC 62231-1:2015 â IEC 2015 ã and then followed by two numbers separated by a dash, which indicate the maximum design cantilever load (MDCL) in kilo Newtons with two digits and the minimum creepage distance in millimetres • For example, designation NCSP1050B-06-5030 stands for the composite station post insulator with a dry lightning impulse withstand voltage of 050 kV, a pitch circle diameter of 127 mm, a maximum design cantilever load of 0,6 kN and a minimum creepage distance of 030 mm NOTE
