I take an example about the design requirements for composite insulators for154kV service is set second below.
◆ Overall performance
● To have satisfactory electrical characteristics in outdoor use, and to be free of degradation and cracking of the housing
● To be free of the penetration of moisture into the interfaces of the end-fitting during long-term outdoor use
● To possess long-term tensile withstand load characteristics
● To be free of voids and other defects in the core material
● To be non-igniting and non-flammable when exposed to flame for short periods
the design requirements for composite insulators
◆ Electrical performance (insulator alone)
● To have a power-frequency wet withstand voltage of 365 kV or greater
● To have a lightning impulse withstand voltage of 830 kV or greater
● To have a switching impulse withstand voltage of 625 kV or greater
● To have a withstand voltage of 161 kV or greater when polluted with an equivalent salt deposition density of 0.03 mg/cm2
● To have satisfactory arc withstand characteristics when exposed to a 25-kA short-circuit current arc for 0.34 sec
● Not to produce a corona discharge when dry and under service voltage, and not to generate harmful noise (insulator string).
