What is BS EN 62231 - Composite station post insulators about?
BS EN 62231 is a British Standard on composite station post insulators.
BS EN 62231 applies to composite station post insulators consisting of a load bearing cylindrical insulating solid core made of resin impregnated fibres, a housing (outside the insulating solid core) made of elastomer material (e.g. silicone or ethylene-propylene) and end fittings attached to the insulating core.
BS EN 62231 outlines about cantilever, torsion, tension and compression loads. They are intended for substations with a.c. voltages greater than 1 000 V up to 245 kV.
