Polymeric HV insulators for indoor and outdoor use - General definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria
IEC 62217:2025 is applicable to polymeric insulators for AC systems with a nominal voltage greater than 1 000 V (frequency less than 100 Hz) and DC systems with a nominal voltage greater than 1 500 V whose insulating body consists of one or various organic materials. Polymeric insulators covered by this document are intended for use both on HV overhead lines and in substations, in both indoor and outdoor applications. They include composite insulators with solid and hollow core and resin insulators. Hybrid insulators with ceramic core and polymeric housing are also included, while coated insulators (e.g. with RTV silicone rubber coatings) are not included in this standard. Electrical tests described in this document are done under AC voltage and are in general applicable to insulators to be used in DC systems too. Tests under DC voltage are intended to reflect up-to-date knowledge and experience. Only polymeric housing materials of hybrid insulators are specified in this document. Tests for core materials and the interfaces between housing and core of hybrid insulators are not included. The object of this document is - to define the common terms used for polymeric insulators; - to prescribe common test methods for design tests on polymeric insulators; - to prescribe acceptance or failure criteria, if applicable; These tests, criteria and recommendations are intended to ensure a satisfactory lifetime under normal operating and environmental conditions. This document includes design tests intended to reject materials or designs which are inadequate under normal operating and environmental conditions. This document defines test methods and acceptance criteria. The applicable tests are given in the relevant product standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) The scope of the document is specified to comprise composite insulators with solid and hollow core and resin insulators used for both AC and DC systems in indoor and outdoor applications of HV overhead lines and substations; hybrid insulators (defined in IEC TS 62896) with ceramic core and polymeric housing are also included, while coated insulators (e.g. with Room Temperature Vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber coatings) are not considered in this document; b) Steep-front impulse voltage test is modified to avoid unwanted flashovers between the leads of the electrodes; c) Differences between hydrophobicity transfer material (HTM) and non-HTM housing materials are specified and relevant test methods and acceptance criteria for polymeric insulators with HTM housing are introduced; d) The previous water diffusion test on core materials with or without housing is split into two tests. One is on core materials without housing, the other is on core materials with housing. The acceptance criteria are modified; e) Stress corrosion test for core materials is introduced; f) Annex B summarizes the test application for evaluating the quality of interfaces and connections of end fittings, housing materials and core materials; g) Annex E is introduced to emphasize the need for control of electric fields of polymeric insulators for AC. The control of electric fields of polymeric insulators for DC is still under consideration.

L'IEC 62217:2025 s'applique aux isolateurs polymériques pour systèmes à courant alternatif de tension nominale supérieure à 1 000 V (fréquence inférieure à 100 Hz) et pour systèmes à courant continu de tension nominale supérieure à 1 500 V, dont le corps isolant est constitué d'un ou de plusieurs matériaux organiques. Les isolateurs polymériques couverts par le présent document sont destinés à être utilisés sur les lignes aériennes HT et dans les postes, en intérieur et en extérieur. Il s'agit d'isolateurs composites à noyau plein et à noyau creux, ainsi que d'isolateurs en résine. Les isolateurs hybrides constitués d'un noyau en céramique et d'un revêtement en polymère sont également inclus, tandis que les isolateurs revêtus (avec des revêtements en caoutchouc silicone vulcanisé à température ambiante (RTV), par exemple) ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme. Les essais électriques décrits dans le présent document sont effectués sous une tension alternative et s'appliquent généralement aux isolateurs destinés à être utilisés dans des systèmes à courant continu également. Les essais sous tension continue sont prévus pour refléter l'état actuel des connaissances et de l'expérience. Seuls les matériaux de revêtement en polymère des isolateurs hybrides sont spécifiés dans le présent document. Les essais pour les matériaux de noyau et les interfaces entre le revêtement et le noyau des isolateurs hybrides ne sont pas inclus. L'objet du présent document est - de définir les termes couramment utilisés pour les isolateurs polymériques. - de spécifier des méthodes d'essai communes pour les essais de conception sur les isolateurs polymériques. - de spécifier des critères d'acceptation ou de défaillance, le cas échéant. Ces essais, critères et recommandations sont destinés à procurer une durée de vie satisfaisante des isolateurs dans les conditions normales d'exploitation et d'environnement (voir l'Article 5). Le présent document comprend des essais de conception destinés à rejeter les matériaux ou les conceptions qui ne conviennent pas dans des conditions normales d'exploitation et d'environnement. Le présent document définit les méthodes d'essai et les critères d'acceptation. Les essais applicables sont définis dans la norme de produit pertinente. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) le domaine d'application du document couvre les isolateurs composites à noyau plein ou creux, ainsi que les isolateurs en résine utilisés avec des systèmes à courant alternatif et à courant continu, en intérieur et en extérieur, sur les lignes aériennes HT et dans les postes; les isolateurs hybrides (définis dans l'IEC TS 62896) constitués d'un noyau en céramique et d'un revêtement en polymère sont également inclus, tandis que les isolateurs revêtus (avec des revêtements en caoutchouc silicone vulcanisé à température ambiante (RTV), par exemple) ne sont pas couverts par le présent document; b) l'essai sous onde de choc à front raide a été modifié pour éviter des contournements indésirables entre les conducteurs des électrodes; c) les différences entre le matériau de transfert d'hydrophobie (HTM - Hydrophobicity Transfer Material) et les matériaux de revêtement non HTM ont été spécifiées, et les méthodes d'essai et les critères d'acceptation pertinents pour les isola

72 POLYMERIC HV INSULATORS FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE -
73 GENERAL DEFINITIONS, TEST METHODS AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
76 FOREWORD
77 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
78 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
79 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
80 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
81 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
82 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
83 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
84 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
85 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
86 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
87 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has repres entation from all
88 interested IEC National Committees.
89 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
90 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
91 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
92 misinterpretation by any end user.
93 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
94 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
95 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
96 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
97 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
98 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
99 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
100 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
101 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
102 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
103 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
104 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
105 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
106 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
107 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
108 International Standard IEC 62217 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 36: Insulators.
