This International Standard IEC 168 is applicable to post insulators and post insulator units of ceramic material or glass, for indoor and outdoor use in electrical installations or equipment, operating on alternating current with a nominal voltage greater than 1 000 V and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz.
This standard may be regarded as a provisional standard for post insulators for use on d.c. systems. IEC 438 gives general guidance for those insulators.
This standard does not apply to composite insulators, or to those indoor post insulators in organic materiel which are covered by another IEC standard [1]*.
The object of this standard is to define: the terms used;
- the electrical and mechanical characteristics of post insulators;
- the conditions under which the specified values of these characteristics are verified;
- the methods of test;
- the acceptance criteria.
