FOREWORD
1) The formal decisionsor agreementsof the IEC on technicalmatters,preparedby TechnicalCommitteeson which all the
National Committeeshaving a specialinterest therein are represented,express,as nearly as possible, an international
consensusof opinion on the subjectsdealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendationsfor international use and they are acceptedby the National Committees in that
sense.
3) ln order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses
the wish that all National Committeesshould adopt the
text of the I E C recommendationfor their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence
betweenthe IEC recommendationand the correspondingnational rules should, as far as possible,be clearly indicatedin
the latter.
PREFACE
This standard has beenprepared by Sub-Committee368, Insulators for Overhead Lines, of IEC Technical Con.mittee
No. 36, Insulators.
This standard replacesthe first edition of IEC Publication 372-l (r97r).
The revision of the publication was decidedat the meetingheld in Ankara in 1973:
-
to take into account the decisionsalready taken for the testsof locking devices;
to introducea secondalternative"Loose fit splirpin", to usewhen a problem of internal corrosionis possiblefor the splitpin metal.
A first draft was discussedat the meetingheld in Bucharestin May 1974.A seconddraft was discussedat the meetingheld
in Stockholmin 1975.
A new draft, Document 36B(Central Office)46, was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Six
Months' Rule in January 1976.
The following countriesvoted explicitly in favour of publication:
Korea (Democratic peopre'sRepublic of)
Netherlands

Romania
Spain
Sweden
Turkey
United Kingdom

Scope
This standardappliesto locking devicesfor ball and socketcouplingsof string insulator units
and to the correspondingmetal fltting describedin IEC Publication 120: Dimensionsof Ball and
SocketCouplingsof String Insulator Units.
Although closelyconnectedwith IEC Publication 120 the presentstandardis an independent
publication. Althougl IEC Publication 120 does not give details of the locking devicesit does
specifythe minimum thickness7 and the internal heightof the socketI12in relation to the location
of the locking deviceabovethe bottom of the socket.
The presentstandardfollows IEC Publication 120 in the above respectsand sincethe socket
part of an insulator or fitting is normally suppliedcompletewith the locking device,there is no
problemin securityor clearancewhenusinginsulatorsor fittings with locking devicesin accordance
with this standard,in associationwith insulatorsand fittings with couplings,with other lockrng
devicesin accordancewith I E C Publication 120.
2.
Object
The object of this standard is to define the shapes and dimensions for locking devices and for
the part of the socket into which they fit.
3.
Standard split-piu
Alternative split-pin: This split-pin is a loose fit in the socket-hole. This alternative may be
used by special agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser,
when problems of stress corrosion are possible for the split-pin metal,
due to the permanent stressin the tight fit system.
9
The socket-hole into which the locking device fits is the same for both the standard and alternative
split-pins, so it is possible to use the alternative split-pin in a socket designed for the standard splitpin (see Clause 6, Note 2).
See Clauses 7 to 9 for dimensions concerning split-pins.
See Clauses 10 and 12 for dimensions concerning W-clips.
Note.- All dimensionsare givenin millimetres.
4.
5.2
W-clips
Sockets for use with W-clips have the lower edge of the rectangular slot at the level of the bottom
of the socket. The slot is so shaped that it will accept the W-clip and retain it in two distinct positions when operated for coupling and locking. The shape of the W-clip is such that complete withdrawal when moving from the locking to the coupling position is prevented.

In the case of split-pins, attention is drawn to the fact that too much impact on the head of the pin during
setting into the locking position may cause deformation to the extent that the locking capability is affected.
Care also must be taken that the performance of the split-pin is not affected by deformation caused during
opening out of the tips.

of
On the contrary, an increase of the internal height Hz^in is necessary when the split-pin is
situated at a ceftain distance from the bottom of the socket.
When the standardsplit-pins are used,the internal height Hr^tn prescribedin I E C Publication 120
shall be increased by L,H2 according to the following table:

The gaugesfor the internal height of the socket prescribedin ClauseB.11 of IEC Publication 120 shall
be increasedby the figuresA//, above.However, existinggaugesaccording to Clause B.1l of IEC Publication 120 may be used. In this case,it shall be possibleto introduce a flat gaugewith a thicknessAI1,
betweenthe bottom of the socket and the gaugefor internal height plaed in the gauging position.
-3.-
The figures AfI, given in the table have been calculated by adding quadratically the tolerancesconcerning
hr, H" and T, and also taking into account the position of the split-pin which is not horizontal becausethe
tips of the legs are in contact with the bottom of the socket.

La goupille est introduite dans le trou, puis chaquebranche est couddecomme indiqu6 d I'article 8.
Elle peut alors tre maneuvr6e entre les positions de verrouillage et d'assemblage.
The split-pin is inserted through the hole and afterwards the legs are bent as shown in Clause 8.
It can then be operated betweenthe locking and coupling positions.
