Fig. 17: HC classification The HC classification provides an approximate statement concerning the water repellent features of the composite insulator. The HC classification is simply a rough comparative procedure and does not permit any statement of a guaranteed operating performance. ►...
NOTICE Material damage from too frequent cleaning of the insulator surface Cleaning greatly changes the water repellent property of the insulator surface. The insulator surface gets its water repellent property back approximately 1 ... 2 days after cleaning. If cleaning is too frequent, the water repellent property is reduced over the long- term.
7.3.1 Measuring equipment ► Use appropriate measuring equipment or contact HSP. 7.3.2 Measuring procedure The measuring procedure differ by the coupling of the measuring signal: ● With not grounded measurements, the test voltage is applied to the conductor on the bushing and the measuring signal is taken from the test tab on the bushing.
