PD CLC/TR 62662:2011

What is PD CLC/TR 62662 - Guidance for production and testing of polymer insulators?

PD CLC/TR 62662 is a British standard on guidance for production, testing and diagnostics of polymer insulators.

PD CLC/TR 62662 guideline presents an analysis of the risk of influencing factors for brittle fracture of composite insulators that are mostly loaded in the tensile mode (suspension and tension insulators). PD CLC/TR 62662 outlines about reduction in the risk of in-service brittle fractures.

Who is PD CLC/TR 62662 - Guidance for production and testing of polymer insulators for?

PD CLC/TR 62662 on Guidance for production and testing of polymer insulators is useful for:

• Electrical equipment manufacturers
• Circuits Manufacturer
• Power Distribution System
• Protective equipment Manufacturer
• Composite insulator Manufacturer

Why should you use PD CLC/TR 62662 - Guidance for production and testing of polymer insulators?

There is an urgent need within utilities and industry for material standards, which define the physical properties of the polymers applied for outdoor insulation.

PD CLC/TR 62662 specification ensures that the polymer insulator work properly for the design and production of any kind of composite insulator. This technical report presents more detailed guidance on this subject taking into account different insulator designs and production techniques. The risk of occurrence and the influencing parameters were evaluated by failure mode effect analysis (FMEA). Using PD CLC/TR 62662 brings standardisation in the process of making polymer insulator.
