AUSTRALIAN STANDARD

Insulators—Ceramic or glass—Station post for indoor and outdoor

use—Voltages greater than 1000 V a.c.

Part 1:
Characteristics

SECTION ONE — GENERAL

Licensed to ANDREW KOUNAVIS on 20 Apr 2005. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited.

1. Scope

This standard applies to post insulators and post insulator units of ceramic material or
glass intended for indoor or outdoor service, and to post insulators of organic material
intended for indoor service in electrical installations or equipment operating on
alternating current systems with a nominal voltage greater than 1000 V and a frequency
not greater than 100 Hz. It may also be regarded as a provisional standard for insulators
for use on direct current systems.

The insulators covered by this standard are primarily intended for use in isolators
(disconnectors) or as bus-bar or fuse supports.

This standard covers five types of post insulators:

a) indoor post insulators of ceramic material or glass and with internal metal fittings;

b) indoor post insulators of organic material and with internal metal fittings;

c) outdoor cylindrical post insulators of ceramic material or glass and with internal metal
fittings;

d) outdoor cylindrical post insulators of ceramic material or glass and with external metal
fittings;

e) outdoor pedestal post insulators of ceramic material or glass.

The term “cylindrical insulators” is intended to cover insulators of the truncated conical
form also.

The five types of insulators are distinguished by their electrical, mechanical and
dimensional characteristics. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 illustrate typical examples of each type
of insulator.

These drawings are only general illustrations and other shapes and constructions are
permitted.

2. Object

This standard is intended to establish standard values of those electrical characteristics,

mechanical characteristics and dimensions which are essential for the interchangeability of
post insulators and post insulator units of the same type.

Notes 1. — General definit ions and methods of test for insulators of ceramic materi al or glass are covered by
IEC Publication 168.

General definit ions and methods of test for insulators of organic material are covered by IEC
Publication 660.

2. — The values of creepage distance as well as informati on on design aspects are provisional. These
values are not dir ectl y related to the specifi ed electr ical characteri stics.

The performance of insulation under contaminated conditions has been considered, with the object of
determining the significant factors influencing performance. An application guide (I EC Publication 815)
has been prepared recommending the range of suitable designs. The guide also indicates:

- defi niti ons of the sit e severit y

- diff erent methods for determining the sit e severit y
- corr esponding creepage distance
- the signif icance and infl uence of dif ferent parameters characteri sing the insulator profil es
- the infl uence of the diameter
- the infl uence of the angle of the installati on of the insulator
- alternative measures to be considered such as greasing or washing.

3. Electrical characteristics

Each post insulator is designated for a specified lightning impulse withstand voltage
based on the standardized values given in IEC Publication 71-1. The minimum height to
be chosen is determined by one of the electrical characteristics given in the table, i.e. dry
lightning impulse withstand voltage, wet power frequency withstand voltage and wet
switching impulse withstand voltage as applicable and according to the relevant insulation
coordination requirements. The operating voltage is not specified because depending on
service conditions, especially contamination, it cannot strictly be correlated with the
height of the post insulator.

The composition of the post insulator, i.e. the number, the size and the positioning of
insulator units is not specified. For a given height of a post insulator, however, the
composition together with insulator profile and size and shape of metal parts can all affect
the electrical performance of the post insulator especially the wet switching impulse
withstand voltage value.

The rated switching impulse withstand voltage values are specified taking into account
the above-mentioned facts as well as the high dispersion in wet switching impulse tests.
However for many post insulator designs higher switching impulse withstand voltage values
are obtainable.

The rated withstand voltage requirements given in tables are for tests carried out on
single post insulators in accordance with IEC Publication 168. With regard to this test
arrangement the test conditions are favourable and may result in higher withstand voltages
than in service applications. This applies in particular to complete disconnectors for which
the actual withstand values may differ appreciably from those given in the tables. In these
cases an insulator with a greater standard height may be chosen or special stress control
fittings may be used.

4. Mechanical characteristics

Post insulators are standardized in mechanical strength classes based on values of the
specified failing load in the bending test.

Note. — The dimensions of outdoor cyli ndri cal post insulators according to d) above are only specifi ed for
strength classes 2 to 20. For strength classes 25, 31,5 and 40 these dimensions are left for future
consideration.

The specified strength classes are based on the minimum failing load in the bending
test with the post insulator mounted upright and the load applied horizontally at the top
surface of the insulator. Where insulators are to be mounted underhung, the standard
values of bending strength may not be applicable except for those insulators included in

COPYRIGHT
 4

Table III. Other positions of mounting (e.g. horizontal) may also affect the strength if the
weight of the post insulator is not negligible. The appropriate strength rating for methods of
mounting other than upright shall be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.

The bending strength at different points along the axis of a post insulator is defined in
different ways depending on the type of insulator (see Tables I to VI and notes).

A failing load Px may also be specified and will refer to a load applied at x mm above
the top face of the insulator. The value of such loads shall be subject to agreement between
the manufacturer and the purchaser. For indoor insulators, values of P 50 (x = 50 mm) are
specified in the tables.

Note. — These values have been determined fr om the formula Px = where h is the overall height of the
insulator.

Mechanical strengths in tension or compression are not specified.

Licensed to ANDREW KOUNAVIS on 20 Apr 2005. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited.

Mechanical strength in torsion is specified only for outdoor post insulators according
to d) and e) above.

For special applications, additional mechanical characteristics may be required. In such

cases, the values of these mechanical characteristics shall be subject to agreement between
the manufacturer and the purchaser.

For insulators of organic material according to b) above, the following also applies:

For circular cross-sections, the specified failing loads apply for any load direction
perpendicular to the axis of the insulator. If this is not the case, the applicable load direction
shall be the subject of agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

For non-circular cross-sections, the applicable load directions shall be specified.

Unless otherwise agreed, the specified failing loads apply at ambient temperature.

In Table II the difference in deflection between 20% and 50% of the failing load is given
to permit the evaluation of the flexibility of post insulators of organic material.

5. Dimensional characteristics

The following dimensional characteristics are specified:

— overall height;
— maximum nominal diameter of the insulating part;
— fixing arrangements (see Clause 6);
— tolerances;
— minimum nominal creepage distance (for outdoor post insulators only).

The composition of the post insulator is not specified, see Clause 3.

COPYRIGHT
 5

The nominal dimensions of an insulator shall not be greater than the specified
maximum nor less than the specified minimum values. The actual dimensions of
insulators are subject to the appropriate manufacturing tolerances. Tolerances of the
insulator heights are given in Tables I to IV; other tolerances shall be in accordance
with Clause 24 of IEC Publication 168, except that in checking the creepage distance
the nominal value shall be subject only to the negative tolerance.

The normal maximum values for the tolerances of parallelism, eccentricity and angular
deviation, when measured in accordance with Appendix A of IEC Publication 168, are as
follows:

Parallelism for h ≤ 1 m: 0,5 mm

for h > 1 m; 0,5 h mm
h in metres.
Parallelism measured for diameter D = 250 mm.

Eccentricity 2 (1 + h) mm
h in metres.
Licensed to ANDREW KOUNAVIS on 20 Apr 2005. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited.

Angular deviation 1 ° either clockwise or anti-clockwise

For post insulators of more than one unit, experience shows that if the units comply with
the above tolerances there are usually no problems of alignment when they are used in
stacks of two or more units.

The above-mentioned values apply in the absence of any agreement to the contrary
between the manufacturer and the user. Other values may, however, be agreed upon
according to the demands which the application of the insulators makes on the accuracy.

Note. — Reference should be made to IEC Publication 168 regarding acti on to be taken when units do not comply
with the above tolerances.

For post insulators according to Tables III, V and VI, only one class of minimum
creepage distance is specified.

For post insulators according to Table IV, there are two classes of creepage distance.

The amount by which the creepage distance of an insulator may be increased within the
specified dimensions varies according to the design and size of the insulator, and, where
increased creepage distance is required, it should be the subject of agreement between the
manufacturer and the purchaser in order to avoid designs which are unsuitable for service in
polluted atmospheres.

6. Fixing arrangements

The fixing arrangements of standard post insulators and post insulator units shall be in
accordance with the Tables I to VI.

Where applicable, fixing holes shall be equally spaced on the appropriate pitch circle,
which shall be concentric with the axis of the insulator. Holes in top and bottom fittings
shall be in line, unless otherwise specified, and they shall be so arranged as to permit the
use of normal hexagon bolted heads and nuts.

The tapped holes shall be of standard size except that the diameter may be oversize
by not more than 0,25 mm (0,01 in). They shall be suitable for steel bolts having

 6

standard dimensions after galvanizing. The length of full thread shall be not less than
the nominal bolt diameter for outdoor post insulators and indoor post insulators of
ceramic material or glass and not less than 1,5 times the nominal bolt diameter for
indoor post insulators of organic material. The threads of tapped holes in galvanized
fittings may be cut after galvanizing.

Standard insulators shall have ISO metric threads except for pedestal post insulator
units where Unified Coarse (UNC) threads may be used.

The axial distance between the bottom mounting face of an insulator of organic
material and the lower end of the bottom thread (dimension l in Figure 2) is assumed to
be zero unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. In this case
the values in the last column of Table II shall apply.

Notes 1. — Post insulators at present in service, alt hough they are in accordance wit h the other characteri stics
specif ied in this standard, may have Whit wort h or Ameri can Nati onal Coarse threads.

2. — To permit interchangeabil it y, fi xing screws may he suppli ed wit h each post insulator.

— Fixing arrangements Tables IA, IIA, IIIA, IVA, VA

and VIA.

In tables which relate to complete post insulators, all insulators of the same lightning
impulse withstand voltage are grouped together. In tables relating to pedestal post insulator
units, the units are arranged with the type numbers in sequence.

The basis of standardization of cylindrical post insulators is the full specification of the
complete post insulator.

The basis of standardization of pedestal post insulators is the full specification of the
units in Tables V to VIII. Complete pedestal post insulators are composed of one or
more of these units. For stacks of more than one unit, it is often possible to reach a
given voltage and strength rating in a number of alternative ways. The alternative
pedestal post insulators may differ in certain respects, such as stiffness, radio interference

performance, etc., and it may be necessary to decide the most suitable composition of the
post insulator by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Examples of
combinations of units to form pedestal post insulators are given in Appendix A; other
combinations are also possible.

8. Designation of post insulators

Each standard post insulator is assigned a reference symbol which indicates:

— Insulator type:

indoor post insulator of ceramic material or glass destination J

indoor post insulator of organic material destination JO

outdoor cylindrical post insulator of ceramic material or glass and destination H

with internal metal fittings

glass

2 - 4 - 8 - 10 - 16 - 25 for indoor post insulators of organic material

2 - 4 - 8 - 16 - 31,5 for outdoor cylindrical post insulators of ceramic

material or glass and with internal metal fittings

2 - 4 - 8 - 10 - 12,5 - 16 - for outdoor cylindrical insulators of ceramic

20 - 25 - 31,5 - 40 material or glass and with external metal fittings

material or glass

— Creepage distance Class I -II for outdoor cylindrical insulators of ceramic

material or glass and with external metal fittings

— Lightning impulse withstand voltage (in kilovolts) 60 to 2 550.

Notes 1. — The designation does not always full y specify the insulator, as someti mes alt ernati ve constructions
are included in the standard.

2. — The str ength class and li ghtning impulse wit hstand voltage designations are not used for pedestal post
insulator units, which are designated by a reference number.

Examples: “IEC post insulator Type J4-125” indicates an indoor post insulator of ceramic materi al or glass of
strength Class 4 and wit h lightning impulse withstand voltage 125 kV.

Notes to Table IV

Note to column 2

For lightning impulse wit hstand voltages 1 675, 1 950, 2 250

and 2 550 see Clauses 46 and 47 of IEC Publication 71-1.

Note to column 8

By agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser,

the maximum diameters of the insulating parts may be increased
where requir ed by poll ution condit ions or by the construction of
the insulator.

Note to column 9

All cyli ndri cal post insulators must be able to accept the
foll owing minimum bending moment M at the top metal fi tt ing:

M = 0,5 P 0h for post C4-60 to C20-650

M = 0,2 P 0h for post C2-750 to C10-2550

where P 0 = minimum fail ing load (column 9)

h = total height (column 5)

The purchase shall specify whether or not a li near

progression in the strength of the insulator is necessary fr om the
above values of M bending moment at the top to P0 h at the
bott om.

Note to column 10

For cert ain appli cati ons, for example rotary diconnectors and
by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, it
may be necessary to specif y higher torsional str engths for post
insulators than are given.

Note to columns 11 and 12

For furt her details of fixing arrangements, see Clause 6 and

Table IVA. By agreement between the manufacturer and the
purchaser, fi xing arrangements dif ferent from those given in
columns 11 and 12 may be used. In all cases, the fi xing
arrangements shall be chosen fr om Table IVA. The specif ied
dimensions permit the use of bolt s, which, at the specifi ed
fail ing load of the post insulators, are not stressed beyond
400 N/mm2.

The pitch circle diameter of the bott om metal fi tt ing shall

not be less than the pit ch cir cle diameter of the top metal fi tt ing.

2. — The composit ions of the pedestal post insulators

in Table A1 are chosen to comply wit h both the
li ghtning impulse wit hstand voltage and the
power- fr equency wet withstand voltage according
to columns 2 and 3. It would, however, be noted
that some of the composit ions given above,
especially those wit h li ghtning impulse wit hstand
volt ages greater than 1 050 kV, are suitable for
higher li ghtning impulse wit hstand volt ages than
those listed in column 2.

3. — Swit ching impulse withstand volt ages are not

given in Table A1. If such voltages are to be
specif ied, the compositi on of the appropriated
pedestal post insulator should be agreed between
the manufacturer and the purchaser.

2. — The composit ions of the pedestal post insulators

in Table AII are chosen to comply wit h both the
li ghtning impulse wit hstand voltage and the
power- fr equency set wit hstand voltage according
to columns 2 and 3. It should, however, be noted
that some of the composit ions given above,
especially those wit h li ghtning impulse wit hstand
volt ages greater than 1 050 kV, are suitable for
higher li ghtning impulse wit hstand volt ages than
those listed in column 2.

3. — Swit ching impulse withstand volt ages are not

given in Table AII. If such volt ages are to be
specif ied, the composit ion of the appropriate
pedestal post insulator should be agreed between
the manufacturer and the purchaser.

APPENDIX ZZ
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS STANDARD AND IEC 273:1990
(Normative)

This Appendix describes the differences between this Standard and IEC 273:1990.
Differences are indicated in the text by a line ruled in the margin against the clause,
figure or table which is affected. It is not necessary to refer to IEC 273:1990 when
reading this Standard.
Clause 1 The following is added:
AS 1137.3—1981 has been retained as an obsolescent Standard. It is not recommended
for new equipment or to be used in current practice, but is retained to provide for
servicing of existing equipment or requirements. In some conditions of high pollution, a
purchaser may wish to specify tests in accordance with AS 1137.3—1981.
Clause 4 The sixth paragraph is replaced by the following:
Licensed to ANDREW KOUNAVIS on 20 Apr 2005. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited.

Mechanical strengths in tension or compression are not specified but are subject to
agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
Clause 5 The fourth line of the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
Parallelism for h ≤ 1 m: 1.0 mm
The tenth line of the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
Angular deviation 2° either clockwise or anticlockwise.
The eighth paragraph is replaced by the following:
For post insulators according to Table IV, there are two classes of minimum creepage
distance.
Clause 6 The first sentence of the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
Tapped holes and threaded fasteners shall be hot-dip galvanized in accordance with
AS 1214.
The last sentence of the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
The threads of tapped holes in galvanized fittings may be cut after galvanizing. If so, they
should be treated with a suitable corrosion inhibitor.
The fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
Standard insulators shall have ISO metric threads with a coarse pitch in accordance with
AS 1111.
Table IV The following is added to the notes:
Note to Column 1
Meeting the requirements of pollution classification in accordance with IEC 815 may
require either the selection of an insulator with a higher designation or the specifying of
increased creepage distance together with a suitable profile.
Note to Column 5
For alternative heights, refer to AS 1137.3.
