    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC/TR 62730:2012(E) is applicable to polymeric insulators whose insulating body consists of one or various organic materials. Polymeric insulators covered by this technical report include both solid core and hollow insulators. They are intended for use on overhead lines and in indoor and outdoor equipment with a rated voltage greater than 1 000 V. The object of this technical report is:
    - to define the common terms used;
    - to give the background behind the development and use of the 5 000 h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel test;
    - to describe the test methods for the 5 000 h multiple stress test and the tracking wheel tests on polymeric insulators;
    - to describe possible acceptance or failure criteria, if applicable. Key words: polymeric insulators, multiple stress test, 5000 h
