| Standard | Title | Key Difference from IEC 60437 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | RI test for AC insulators | Focus on clean, dry insulators; quasi-peak detection. | | IEC 61294 | RI test for DC insulators | Applies to HVDC systems; uses different voltage polarity and detection methods. | | CISPR 18-2 | RI from power lines (site measurements) | Field testing on complete lines, not component (insulator) testing. | | ANSI C63.2 | US RI measurement standard | Different frequency weighting and impedance (often 50 μH instead of 50 Ω). |
The standard specifies the procedure for a laboratory test. It is primarily used to determine the radio noise characteristics of ceramic, glass, or composite insulators used on high-voltage overhead lines and in substations. Key Content Sections for Your Draft
