INSULATORS INSTALLATION oagecTIVvE + To specify testing procedure of 25KV solid core porcelain insulators and Composite insulstors at site/depot before installation. + To furnish the tensile load values at which insulators of different types & specifications shall be tested. BACKGROUND : To weed out the insulators which may develop defect due to various reosons beyond Railways contal, Rawaye were adviced vide SMT No. TT/MT/OOI1 Rev O' to test each insulator for routine tensile load test at site/ depot before installation. Later on. SMT was modified vide Rev'l as per requirement of RDSO spec No&TI/OHE/15(9/31). NEED FOR REVISION: RDSO has issued revised specification for composite and porcelain inaulators in Jan- 2007 and April- 2007 respective, where in tensile load of 9-Tonne insulator has been enhanced to L1000kgf from 9900 kgf. Accordingly, applied load value for carrying out above test shal be different than already advised. 1 has alo been observed during site visits & reports that Routine Tensile Lead testing Facility \s not as per ROSO SIME at al the OHE/RE depots, In addin, testing of insulator at a load different than the specified is being carried out. So much so , ails of 52kg/m have been used or jig Formation but with the lead calculations of 604g/m ral Further, « few cases of composite insulators care pullout from metal fiting have olso been reported by Railways, resulting in falling of OHE. Accordingly, revised special Maintenance “nstruction (SIT) for testing of 25 kV Composite & Porcelain insulators before installation is being ictued ‘TESTING INSTRUCTIONS Details of JIG/VTIM + For conducting the routive tensile leed test either Universal Testing Machine of adequate capacity may be used or the simple arrergement shown in the enclosed sketch No, ETL/OFE/SK/6II (in 2 sheets) adopted. DEAD LOADS TO BE APPLIED : Taking weight of 60ka/S2kg rail as reference, calculations have been mods. Accordingly, the dead load hg tv be provided for conducting routine tensile ication has been caleiated given in load teat for one minute, a8 per typeof insulator and sp { ese 2 of 3 | fective from | Malntnance Thirection No, TH/MIT0GHZCI2/2008) Rav] 32.12.2008 | 1 a | ‘Table-1 Load to be applied for testing of 25 KV Porcelain Insulators Specification no, [Type of | Specified | Rastne Tensile [Dead Lando be | eaulator | Si in bgt | tead (TL) | provided for daub ra eof |inig specified velve | 120 fgfm [104 Fain | in kof ETT/OMEABG/S | Stay arm] 6400 2370 ea Grouators and racket anene Prior 109 ronne ‘9900 45 “7 99 ETL/OME/B@/D wih | Stay — arm | 7600 3080 ar a8 edesipnattes. | andBracet fone 3500 as |e THSPCTOVEANS/OOTO| Stay arm] 7000 3850 zor | 286 | rd Bracket 3-tone 11000 5 3 ] Specification wo, Type of | Specified | Ravtne lad @ | Dead Lead Yo be Treulater | SHL in kat |70% of | provided for double ral TU/SPCOHEANSCOM | Stay arm] 5400 10050 | end Bracket TU/SPCIOHE/INSCOM | ss 3505 10081 [T/SeCIOMEANECOMT|| Stay — arm] 7000 o70 43. Tt would be seen from the above that RTL has been kept different in both type of insulator. The eason being 4) The porcelain insulator changes its mechanical charcctersties at nearly 60% of its SMI. There may be few insulators which may get manufactured with a reduced SML, say 6Ohite specified value. Tf such, insulators are tested at 70% of specified SML, the resultant farce shall be more ‘thon 80% of its actual SML, thus making @ permanent change in the listed at porcelsin & alse ‘make this insulator a suspect for fale in service dve to development of stresses, Page 3 of 3 | Effective from | Maintenance Instruction No. ‘TH/MI/0042(12/2008) Rev ‘7 32.12.2008 riba! a | ») In
