PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
EL/10, Overhead Lines, to supersede, in part, AS 2947.1 — 1989, Insulators — Porcelain and glass
for overhead power lines — Voltages greater than 1000 V a.c., Part 1: Test Methods.
This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60383-2:1993, Insulators for
overhead lines with a nominal voltage above 1000 V, Part 2: Insulator strings and insulator sets for
a.c. systems — Definitions, test methods and acceptance criteria.
In January 1997, IEC commenced numbering its Standards from 60000 by adding 60000 to the
number of each existing Standard. This coordinates IEC numbering with ISO numbering. During the
transition period an IEC Standard might be identified by its new number or its old number (e.g.
IEC 60050 or IEC 50).
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.
This Standard is Part 4 of a series covering porcelain and glass insulators for overhead power lines
with voltages greater than 1000 V a.c. which, when complete, will be as follows:
Part 1: Test methods — Insulator units
Part 2: Characteristics
Part 3: Couplings
Part 4: Test methods — Insulator strings and insulator sets (this Standard)
The objective of this Standard is to provide users and manufacturers of porcelain and glass
insulators for overhead lines with definitions of terms, requirements and acceptance criteria to
facilitate the specifications of insulator strings and insulator sets.
For the purposes of this Standard the source text is modified as follows:
(a) In the source text, ‘this part of IEC 383’ should read ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’.
(b) A full point should substitute for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
References to International Standards should be replaced by equivalent Australian or Joint
Australian/New Zealand Standards as follows:

This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.
This part of IEC 383 applies to insulator strings and insulator sets comprising string insulator
units of ceramic material or glass for use on a.c. overhead power lines with a nominal voltage
greater than 1 000 V and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz.
This part of IEC 383 also applies to insulator strings and insulator sets for use on d.c.
overhead electric traction lines.
This part of IEC 383 also applies to insulator strings and insulator sets of similar design when
used in substations.
It may be regarded as a provisional standard for insulator strings and insulator sets for use on
d.c. overhead power lines and for composite insulator sets.
The object of this part of IEC 383 is to prescribe standard electrical test procedures and
acceptance criteria to verify the defined characteristics of insulator strings and insulator sets
falling within the scope of the part of IEC 383.
These tests and characteristics are intended to give a common base to designers, users and
suppliers of overhead lines, insulators and line equipment when definition, evaluation or
verification of the electrical characteristics of such equipment is required.
These tests are not intended to be mandatory tests on insulators whether supplied individually
or as strings or as sets.
NOTES
1 Tests on string insulator units are dealt with in IEC 383-1. Tests on composite insulators are dealt with in
IEC 1109.
2 This part does not include artificial pollution or radio-interference tests. These subjects and relevant test methods
are dealt with in the following IEC reports:
IEC 507: Report – artificial pollution tests on high-voltage insulators to be used on a.c. systems.
