Before diving into Part 2, it is critical to understand the structure of the series. The IEC 60815 family replaces the older, less flexible standard IEC 60815 (1986). The new approach is divided into four parts:
: Assess the suitability of different shed designs (e.g., standard, fog, or open profiles) for specific pollution types. iec 60815-2 pdf
based on the specific pollution levels of a site. This part of the standard specifically excludes polymer or composite insulators, which are covered in Part 3 of the 60815 series. Key Technical Concepts Site Pollution Severity (SPS): Before diving into Part 2, it is critical
: Establish methods to verify performance through natural or artificial pollution tests. Key Technical Parameters based on the specific pollution levels of a site
: Unlike generic guidelines, Part 2 provides detailed analysis of porcelain and glass shapes. It evaluates how different "shed" profiles (the disc-like parts of an insulator) perform under specific types of pollution, such as desert sand versus coastal salt spray.
