o. FOREWORD
Indian Standard was adopted. by the Indian Standards Institution
1975, after the draft finalized. by the Electrical Insulators and
AcoeulOn,!:S Sectional Committee had been the Electrotechni·
Di..riaic~n Council. '
0.2 This specification deals with silicone compounds suitable for application
either hand or by brush or by sprayer on the surface of high voltage
poJ~eLain or glass msulators to prevent by their action the
Halilho'ver of insulators due to pollution of the inslulator surltace
coal dusts, cement dusts, and chemical
0.3 There are various types of silicone compounds, all of which a:re not
suitable as anelecmcal insulating material for the of prevention
of Ba.shover due to pollution. Silicone oil is also suitable for this
It shall, however, be ensured that the application of the silicone
COIllPOiunlD shall not lower the electrical characterlStics of the insula ton:.
0.4 .The hydrocarbon based compounds are also emlplo~yed for the purpose
of prevention of pollution on insulators.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular of this
standard is complied with, the final value observed or ca!lcuJiatcr:i, Clmr~::ss·
result of a test. shall be rounded. off in accordance : 2-
The number of significant retained in the rounded off value
should be the same as that of the value in this standard.
1. SCC:)PE
1.1 This standard covers the composition, classification and reC;lui.!:en:lents
of lilic,one compounds suitable for application the surface
poJ'Cdain insulators to prevent by their and en(:ap:suL1ltiIltg

A·2. SCALE OF SAMPLING
A-2.1 Lot - In a single consignment, all the containers of the same type,
size, and drawn fi'om the same batch of manufacture shall constitute a lot.
If a consignment is dcclan:d or known to consist of different batches of
manufacture or of dilfercnt sizes of containers or of different types of
material then the containers belonging to the same batch under the Silme
size and type shall be grouped together and each such group shall
cv;~stitute a separate lot.
A-2.1.1 Samples shall be tested for each lot for ascertammg the
conformity of the material to the requirements of the specification.
A-2.2 The number of containers (n) to be selected from a lot shall depend
on the size of the lot (N) and shall be as given in Table 1.

NOTE - In the case of very small lots where the selection of three containers may be
uneconomical, thc number of containers to be selected and the criterion for judging the
conformity of the lot to the specification shall be as agreed to between the purchaser
and the supplier.
A-2.3 The containers shall be selected at random and in order to ensure the
randomness of selection, a random number table shall be used. In case
such a table is not avaifable, the following procedure may be adopted:
Starting from one container; count them in one order as
1,2,3, ..................... , up to r and so on, where r is the integral
part of N/n ( N being the lot size and n the number of containers to
be selected). Every rth container thus counted shall be withdrawn
to give samples for test.
