PD IEC/TR 62730 is a technical report on HV Polymeric insulators for indoor and outdoor tracking. PD IEC/TR 62730 is based on the suitability of polymeric insulators whose insulating body consists of one or various organic materials.
PD IEC/TR 62730 provides a method for tracking use tracking and erosion test by wheel test and 5000h test. PD IEC/TR 62730 report contains both solid core and hollow insulator which are intended for use on overhead lines and in indoor and outdoor equipment with a rated voltage greater than 1000 V. The tests, criteria and recommendations outlined in PD IEC/TR 62730 gives a common basis for the 5 000h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel test when are used for research or required as a supplementary design test.
PD IEC/TR 62730 on HV Polymeric insulators tracking is useful for:
High voltage equipment requires high quality insulators to protect it against damage, or short circuits. Damage to this equipment can lead to loss of capital, life and property. PD IEC/TR 62730 provides a method for multiple stress test and polymeric insulator test. PD IEC/TR 62730 guidelines ensure safety during multiple stress test and polymeric insulator test.
PD IEC/TR 62730 can also help the user in bringing standardization in the manufacturing process to prevent any future damage while designing or manufacturing high voltage equipment system. Using PD IEC/TR 62730 guidelines ensures the safety of your customers near high voltage applications.
