The Veri*Lite Insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture.

Ohio Brass began its efforts in polymer research in the early 1900s. After years of production and research with organic compounds in the high voltage insulation field, Ohio Brass introduced the Hi*Lite insulator in 1976. A decade later the Ohio Brass polymer distribu-tion arrester, PDV-100, was introduced as the first U.S.

made polymer-housed MOV arrester.

Today’s Veri*Lite insulators add to the 6 million distribu-tion arresters and over 3,000,000 polymer insulators already in service. These numbers show OB’s dedica-tion in providing a quality product for the electric utility industry.

Design The structural design of the Veri*Lite insulator consists of three basic parts:

Rod - Veri*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for the maximum tensile strength. The rod is filled 57 percent, by volume, with electrical grade glass fibers.

End Fittings - Ferrous end fittings are crimped directly to the fiberglass rod by a process originated by Ohio Brass. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.

Weathersheds - Veri*Lite insulators are manufactured with ESPTM silicone alloy rubber, the same proven ma-terial used in PDV arresters and Hi*Lite insulators. ESP is a polymer compound made by alloying silicone and EPDM rubber. This alloy offers the desirable toughness and resistance to tracking of our original EPR, with the hydrophobic characteristics derived from low molecular weight silicone oils.

Ohio Brass uses several tests to evaluate materials.

Tracking, QUV, corona cutting, salt fog, oxidative stabil-ity and variations of differential thermal analysis tests assure the quality of OB’s shed material. For further information on our polymers ask your Ohio Brass representative for the publication “Polymer Materials for Insulator Weathersheds” EU1264-H.

Leakage Distance Veri*Lite insulators feature high leakage distance for optimum contamination performance.

Washability The Veri*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suit-able for washing by all known methods in current use.

Washing tests have been conducted with high-pressure equipment at close nozzle-to-insulator distances. No water intrusion occurred, with multiple washings.

Standards Veri*Lite suspension insulators meet the latest ANSI/ IEEE-1024, CEA LWIWG-01, and IEC-1109 standards.

Ohio Brass manufacturing facilities are registered for successful implementation of a quality system in accor-dance with ISO 9002-1994, and the engineering design practices have been registered to ISO 9001-1994.

Mechanical Ratings Specified Mechanical Load (SML) ratings for the insula-tors are 15,000 pounds with ferrous end fittings.

A Routine Test Load value (RTL) is assigned to each insulator. This is 50 percent of the SML rating.

A Proof Test is applied at the factory of 10,000 pounds.

This test load is higher than the recommended RTL to help ensure the quality of our product.

Markings Markings are permanently embossed into the end fittings or polymer housing. These include the SML, as-sembly date code and Ohio Brass identification.

Equivalency Even though porcelain specifications are written around strings of individual units, it’s an easy matter to select Veri*Lite insulators for equivalency. This involves re-viewing designs for the following:

ELECTRICAL

Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite leakage distance.

Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite section length.

MECHANICAL

Compare porcelain M&E to Veri*Lite SML.

Insulation Coordination The operating performance of a distribution or trans-mission line depends on its insulation level. It must not flashover under practically any operating condition.

Several methods of coordination of line and station insulation have been proposed. Generally, the best method is to establish a definite common insulation level for all the station insulation and then match that

Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I. Material Design Tests

- The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.

1. Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30° and electrodes posi-tioned 35mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400Ωcm) and ener-gized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes if there is:

1. No carbonization or tracking.

2. No erosion through sample.

3. No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.

The sample must withstand 20,000 test cycles.

2. Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.

The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure without damage.

3. Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of 300,000 microstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like electrode is placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in a controlled humid-ity chamber.

The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting. Samples must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.

4. Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential scan-ning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere to the test tempera-ture of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an exothermic chemical reaction. The time to this reaction must exceed 300 minutes.

5. Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum acceptable tear strength is 125 lb./in.

II. Other Requirements

- The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to ensure production compliance with design tests.

Sample Polymer Specification level with the line insulation. With this approach, the task is limited to three fundamental requirements:

1. Selection of the basic impulse insulation level

(BIL).

2. Specification of insulation with flashover charac-teristics equal to or greater than the selected BIL.

3. The application of suitable overvoltage surge protection.

Satisfactory performance is generally achieved with an insulator which has a dry 60 Hz flashover of three to five times the phase-to-ground voltage and a leak-age distance approximately twice the shortest air-gap (strike) distance.

Packaging Veri*Lite insulator standard packing is cartons on pal-lets.

System Planning Guide

INTRODUCTION

Catalog SP2 provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive listing of ELASTIMOLD products for 5kV thru 35kV underground power distribution systems. Included are separable elbow connectors, cable joints, terminations, surge arresters, fused elbows and other cable accessory components. The catalog incorporates information relative to product application, ratings and selection.

ELASTIMOLD is recognized as the leading producer of premolded cable accessory components worldwide. Utilizing specially formulated materials with 100% peroxide-cured insulation and shielding, Elastimold products represent the state-of-the-art in premolded process technology.

Durable, quality construction and non-degrading, high-reliability, maintenance-free performance is assured when specifying ELASTIMOLD products.

ELASTIMOLD’s broad line of premolded products offer significant advantages over field-fabricated and other alternatives, including:100% factory assurance testing prior to delivery and installation; simplified, single-piece construction with built-in insulating, shielding and sealing surfaces; ease of installation with no special skills or tools required; and compact, lightweight, durable designs for easy handling and application.

Separable Elbow Connectors and their related accessories are available in 200 Amp loadbreak, 200 Amp deadbreak and 600 Amp deadbreak styles. Rated for padmount, subsurface, vault, indoor, outdoor and other applications, units feature interchangeable interfaces which can be easily engaged or separated to provide a convenient method to connect or disconnect cable and equipment to the distribution system.

Cable Joints are available in permanently crimped or bolted (separable) connector styles. Permanently crimped units are rated the same as the cable they are connecting and are available for all applications including direct buried.

Cable Terminations are available in single-piece or modular designs.

Rated for indoor, outdoor or padmount applications, units allow connection and transition from shielded underground cables to bare overhead conductors and live-front equipment.

Surge Arresters are constructed using metal oxide blocks for overvoltage protection and 200 Amp separable connector interfaces for attachment to other ELASTIMOLD accessories.

Fused Elbows combine replaceable current-limiting fuses for overcurrent protection and 200 Amp separable connector interfaces for attachment to other ELASTIMOLD accessories.

Loadbreak Switches, Current Limiting Fuses, Fault Interrupters, Junctions, Faulted Circuit Indicators, Secondary Underground and Transmission Products are shown on the back cover. For additional catalog information on these product lines, please contact your ELASTIMOLD Sales Representative.

Elastimold Special Component Services Group provides custom products tailored to specific application requirements. Please contact the factory for further information regarding this service.

COMPONENT APPLICATION AND SELECTION

Catalog SP2 includes component group schematics, part numbers and standard ratings of ELASTIMOLD products for application on underground power distribution systems utilizing solid dielectric cable. Go directly to the product section in the table of contents or follow the decision path outlined below for component selection and application.

● Determine if the application involves Deadfront (shielded) or Livefront (unshielded) connections. Terminations are air insulated and classified as Livefront.

● Determine if the application requires Separable Connectors, Fused Elbows, Cable Joints, Terminations or Surge Arresters.

● If Separable Connectors are involved, determine the required current class:

200 Amp, 600 Amp or 900 Amp. This decision is based on the conductor size, loading, and system short circuit currents. The selected connector must be compatible with the mating interface on any equipment.

● 200 Amp connectors are available in Loadbreak and Deadbreak styles.

Determine which style is required. 600 Series Connectors are Deadbreak only and Fused Elbows are Loadbreak only.

● Determine the part number related to the specific Voltage Class by utilizing the schematic layouts and product tables.

● If the component mates with cable, determine the cable insulation diameter, conductor size, type of cable shield and if jacket sealing is required.
