383-2 ©IEC:1993– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSIONINSULATORS FOR OVERHEAD LINES WITH A NOMINAL VOLTAGEABOVE 1 000 VPart 2: Insulator strings and insulator sets for a.c. systems -Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteriaFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardizationcomprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is topromote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical andelectronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested inthe subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental andnon-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IECcollaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance withconditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees onwhich all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly aspossible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.3)They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technicalreports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.4)In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.International Standard IEC 383-2 has been prepared by sub-committee 36B: Insulators foroverhead lines, of IEC technical committee 36: Insulators.Part 2, together with Part 1, replaces the third edition of IEC 383 (1983) and constitutes atechnical revision.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:DISReport on Voting
36B(CO)8836B(CO)92Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the reporton voting indicated in the above table.IEC 383 consists of the following parts, under the general title: Insulators for overheadlines with a nominal voltage above 1000 V.–Part 1: Ceramic or glass insulator units for a.c. systems – Definitions, test methodsand acceptance criteria.–Part 2: Insulator strimps and insulator sets for a.c. systems – Definitions, testmethods and acceptance criteria.Annex A is for information only.SIST EN 60383-2:1997

Tests on composite insulators are dealt within IEC 1109.2 This part does not include artificial pollution or radio-interference tests. These subjects and relevanttest methods are dealt with in the following IEC reports:IEC 437: Report — radio interference test on high-voltage insulators.IEC 507: Report — artificial pollution tests on high-voltage insulators to be used on a.c. systems.3 Power arc tests are currently under study.SIST EN 60383-2:1997

383-2 ©IEC:1993– 13 –The flash-over and withstand voltages of insulators under service conditions may differfrom the flash-over and withstand voltages under standard conditions. This effect hasbeen recognized with lightning impulse testing, especially for very high voltages of equip-ment, but the effect of ambient conditions and the arrangement of insulators and associ-ated metalwork is much greater with switching impulses due to the differences
