AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an A

12、merican National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been rea

13、ched by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National S

14、tandards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute d

15、oes not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for in

37、I C29.11 and Section 2 of American National Standard Test Methods for Electrical Power Insulators, ANSI C29.1 for definition of common terms used in this standard. 4 GENERAL 4.1 Insulators shall conform in all respects to the requirements of this standard. The text and figures supplement each other

38、and shall be considered part of this standard. 4.2 Manufacturers drawings, if furnished, shall show the outline of the insulators, together with all pertinent electrical and mechanical characteristics, and dimensions as specified herein. 5 MATERIALS AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/NEMA C29.18-2013 C

39、29.18-2013 Page 2 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 5.1 Core The core of the insulator shall consist of a fiberglass-reinforced resin rod. The core shall be sound and free of defects that might adversely affect the mechanical or electrical properties of the insulators. 5.2 Weathersh

40、eds The weathersheds shall be made of polymer materials such as ethylene propylene elastomer or silicone elastomer. They may contain inorganic fillers and organic compounding agents. 5.3 Metal Parts Metal parts shall be made of a good commercial grade of malleable iron, ductile iron, steel, or alumi

41、num. Ferrous parts, other than stainless steel, shall be galvanized in accordance with ASTM A153. 6 DIMENSIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS Dimensions and characteristics of the insulators shall be in accordance with the manufacturers drawings, Figures 1 through 5, and Table 1. The shapes of the weathersheds

42、 and spacing between them are not a part of this standard. The allowed tolerances for all dimensions for which special tolerances do not apply shall be in accordance with Section 5 of ANSI C29.11. 7 MARKING Each insulator shall be clearly and indelibly marked with symbols identifying the manufacture

43、r, a manufacturing date code or year of manufacture and the Specified Cantilever Load (SCL) with appropriate units*. * NOTE: FOR CONVENIENCE IN IDENTIFYING AN INSULATOR, MARKING MAY ALSO INCLUDE THE MANUFACTURERS HISTORICAL RATINGS SUCH AS REFERENCE CANTILEVER LOAD (RCL), MAXIMUM DESIGN CANTILEVER L

44、OAD (MDCL), MAXIMUM WORKING LOAD (MWL), OR WORKING CANTILEVER LOAD (WCL). 8 PROTOTYPE TESTS Prototype tests are required to verify the suitability of the materials and methods of manufacture for insulators defined by the following same characteristics: (1a) shed material (1b) housing material (2a) s

45、hed design (includes diameter, thickness, and shape) (2b) housing design (includes thickness and covering of metal fittings) (3) core material (4) core diameter (5) metal fitting material (6a) metal fitting connection zone (6b) core-metal-housing interface (7) metal fitting method of attachment to c

46、ore To allow for manufacturing variations, (2a), (2b) and (4) may vary up to 15% before the prototype tests must be repeated, except retesting is not required for greater thickness of the shed or housing or increased rod diameter that exceed the 15% variation limitation. The insulator design shall b
