Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
PORCELAIN INSULATORS FORTELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE LINES
( Third Revision )
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 2 April 1976, after the draft finalized by theElectrical Insulators and Accessories Sectional Committee had beenapproved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 This standard, originally published in 1951, was first revised in1959, when the single-shed pot-head insulators and oil-cup insulatorswere excluded from its scope since the Posts and TelegraphsDepartment of the Government of India had decided to discontinuetheir use. Provision was also made for the inclusion of double-shedpot-head insulators which were found to be satisfactory.
0.2.1 The second revision was issued in 1966 with a view to aligning this standard with other electrical insulator standards and effecting complete metricization. In that revision, which included all theamendments issued to-date to the first revision, a statistical sampling
plan for the selection of insulators for acceptance tests had also beenincorporated.
0.3 The third revision has been undertaken with a view to simplifying the manufacture of large and small double-shed insulators bymodifying the shape of the top of these type of insulators.
0.4 This standard has been prepared primarily to meet therequirements of the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department. Theinsulators covered by this standard should also be suitable fortelegraph and telephone lines of the Railways and other users. Thestandard does not, however, cover the insulators required for thecommunication circuits run solely for the operation and maintenanceof electric transmission systems and in close proximity to such lines.
0.5 The stalks for use with these insulators are covered byIS : 1441-1966*.
*Specification for insulator stalks for telegraphs and telephone lines ( first revision ).

0.6 In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derivedfrom BS 16 : 1949 ‘Telegraph material insulators, pole fittings, etc’issued by British Standards Institution.
0.7 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standard specification onporcelain electrical insulators.
0.8 This edition 4.4 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (October 1983), Amendment No. 2 (March 1989) Amendment No. 3 (October 1991) and Amendment No. 4 (September 2003). Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the amendments.
0.9 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
