2 The Veri*Lite Insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture. Ohio Brass began its efforts in polymer research in the early 900s. After years of production and research with organic com in the high voltage insulation field, Ohio Brass introduced the Hi*Lite insulator in 976. A decade later the Ohio Brass polymer distribution arrester, PDV00, was introduced as the first U.S. made polymerhoused MOV arrester. Today s Veri*Lite insulators add to the 6 million distribution arresters and over,000,000 polymer insulators already in service. These numbers show OB s dedication in providing a quality product for the electric utility industry. Design The structural design of the Veri*Lite insulator consists of three basic parts: Rod Veri*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for the maximum tensile strength. The rod is filled 57 percent, by volume, with electrical grade glass fibers. End Fittings Ferrous end fittings are crimped directly to the fiberglass rod by a process originated by Ohio Brass. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor does it introduce potting com or adhesives. Weathersheds Veri*Lite insulators are manufactured with ESP TM silicone alloy rubber, the same proven material used in PDV arresters and Hi*Lite insulators. ESP is a polymer compound made by alloying silicone and EPDM rubber. This alloy offers the desirable toughness and resistance to tracking of our original EPR, with the hydrophobic characteristics derived from low molecular weight silicone oils. Ohio Brass uses several tests to evaluate materials. Tracking, QUV, corona cutting, salt fog, oxidative stability and variations of differential thermal analysis tests assure the quality of OB s shed material. For further information on our polymers ask your Ohio Brass representative for the publication Polymer Materials for Insulator Weathersheds EU64H. Leakage Distance Veri*Lite insulators feature high leakage distance for optimum contamination performance. Washability The Veri*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for washing by all known methods in current use. Washing tests have been conducted with highpressure equipment at close nozzletoinsulator distances. No water intrusion occurred, with multiple washings. Standards Veri*Lite suspension insulators meet the latest ANSI/ IEEE04, CEA LWIWG0, and IEC09 standards. Ohio Brass manufacturing facilities are registered for successful implementation of a quality system in accordance with ISO , and the engineering design practices have been registered to ISO Mechanical Ratings Specified Mechanical Load (SML) ratings for the insulators are 5,000 with ferrous end fittings. A Routine Test Load value (RTL) is assigned to each insulator. This is 50 percent of the SML rating. A Proof Test is applied at the factory of 0,000. This test load is higher than the recommended RTL to help ensure the quality of our product. Markings Markings are permanently embossed into the end fittings or polymer housing. These include the SML, assembly date code and Ohio Brass identification. Equivalency Even though porcelain specifications are written around strings of individual units, it s an easy matter to select Veri*Lite insulators for equivalency. This involves reviewing designs for the following: ELECTRICAL Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite leakage distance. Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite section length. MECHANICAL Compare porcelain M&E to Veri*Lite SML. Insulation Coordination The operating performance of a distribution or transmission line depends on its insulation level. It must not flashover under practically any operating condition. Several methods of coordination of line and station insulation have been proposed. Generally, the best

3 method is to establish a definite common insulation level for all the station insulation and then match that level with the line insulation. With this approach, the task is limited to three fundamental requirements:. Selection of the basic impulse insulation level (BIL).. Specification of insulation with flashover characteristics equal to or greater than the selected BIL.. The application of suitable overvoltage surge protection. Satisfactory performance is generally achieved with an insulator which has a dry 60 Hz flashover of three to five times the phasetoground voltage and a leakage distance approximately twice the shortest airgap (strike) distance. Packaging Veri*Lite insulator standard packing is cartons on pallets. Larger orders for Veri*Lite posts may be shipped in wood crates. Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials. I. Material Design Tests The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.. Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 0 and electrodes positioned 5mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400Ωcm) and energized at 0kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes if there is:. No carbonization or tracking.. No erosion through sample.. No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds. The sample must withstand 0,000 test cycles.. Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic. The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds,000 hours of exposure without damage.. Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of 00,000 microstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needlelike electrode is placed mm from the surface of the sample and energized at kv in a controlled humidity chamber. The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting. Samples must pass,000 hours of exposure to this test. 4. Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere to the test temperature of 00 C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an exothermic chemical reaction. The time to this reaction must exceed 00 minutes. 5. Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum acceptable tear strength is 5 lb./in. II.Other Requirements Sample Polymer Specification The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to ensure production compliance with design tests.

9 9 Veri*Lite Line Post Insulators for 69kV Applications Mechanical Ratings An insulator must have sufficient mechanical strength to support the conductor with adequate safety margin, under all static and dynamic mechanical loads expected. It must withstand mechanical abuse without dropping the conductor. Specified Cantilever Load (SCL) SCL is the ultimate cantilever strength rating of the Veri*Lite XL line post insulator. Routine Cantilever Load (RCL) RCL is the maximum recommended load in cantilever that a Veri*Lite XL post insulator is designed to withstand during its life, and is equal to 50% of the SCL. Equivalency Equivalency of line post insulators involves a check of the general characteristics. However, the cantilever strength is now of fundamental importance, rather than tension strength. MECHANICAL Compare the SCL of the polymer insulator to the cantilever strength rating of the porcelain insulator. ELECTRICAL The customary comparison for line post insulators is based on impulse values. Length may also be a concern if specific clearances must be maintained from conductors to pole or to other conductors. Packaging Veri*Lite post insulator standard packaging is two or three insulators per carton, depending upon the type of base and top end hardware. Eight cartons are then sealed, stacked and banded to a hardwood pallet with two way entry. Larger quantity shipments are most economically packaged (50) per wood crate. The gross weight of a crate will be no greater than,000.

14 4 Application Curves for Veri*Lite Insulators How to use the application curves. After you have established the loading cases, you can use the curves to determine whether a specific Veri*Lite unit meets your loading requirement. For example, consider the installation of a Veri*Lite post number on a line with a vertical cantilever load of 00 and a compression load of 900. By entering the curve at these values, find the allowable longitudinal load to be 00. When the posts are loaded in tension the cantilever loading due to the combined effects of longitudinal, vertical and tensile loads should not exceed the rated tension working value.
