FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 25 January 1982, after the draft finalized by the Electrical
Insulators and Accessories Sectional Committee- had been approved by
the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
0.2 This code of practice for selection of disc insulator fittings has been
prepared with a view to achieve uniformity in the application of these
fittings for highest system voltages of 72.5 kV and above.
0.3 The figures for various insulator fittings and insulator sets given in
this standard are indicative of the general shape only and are not according to scale. These are for guidance in selection of appropriate insulator
The dimensions, where relevant, are
fittings for highest system voltages.
given in the tables along with the figures.
0.4 This code of practice is one of a series of standards for insulator
fittings for overhead power lines. Other standards in this series are:

lines with a nominal voltage greater than 1 GO0 V:

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 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,
