BS EN 61462:2007

This standard BS EN 61462:2007 Composite hollow insulators. Pressurized and unpressurized insulators for use in electrical equipment with rated voltage greater than 1000 V. Definitions, test methods, acceptance criteria and design recommendations is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.080.10 Insulators

This International Standard applies to composite hollow insulators consisting of a load-bearing insulating tube made of resin impregnated fibres, a housing (outside the insulating tube) made of elastomeric material (for example silicone or ethylene-propylene) and metal fixing devices at the ends of the insulating tube. The object of this standard is: To define the terms used; to prescribe test methods; and to prescribe acceptance criteria.
