IEC 62231-1:2015 PDF (Not Available)

IEC 62231-1:2015 is a standard that provides specifications for composite station post insulators used in substations with AC voltages greater than 1,000 V up to 245 kV. The standard focuses on the dimensional, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of these insulators.

The standard defines the main dimensions and values that should be considered when manufacturing and testing composite station post insulators. This includes parameters such as the height, diameter, and weight of the insulator, as well as the mechanical and electrical properties.

In terms of mechanical characteristics, the standard specifies requirements for factors such as the mechanical strength, bending and torsional strength, and resistance to wind and earthquake loads. It also includes guidelines for conducting type and sample tests to assess the mechanical performance of the insulators.

Regarding electrical characteristics, the standard addresses parameters such as the power frequency withstand voltage, the radio interference voltage, and the resistance to moisture and pollution. It also provides guidelines for conducting electrical tests to ensure that the insulators meet the necessary standards for electrical performance.
