规定了标称电压大于1000伏、频率不大于100赫兹的交流架空电力线和牵引线用陶瓷材料或玻璃绝缘子的电气和机械试验程序。本标准适用于架空牵引线用绝缘子串、针形绝缘子、线路支柱绝缘子、钩环绝缘子和绝缘子单元。本标准以IEC 60383-1:1993为基础，但不等同于IEC 60383-1:1993。

Specifies procedures for electrical and mechanical tests on insulators of ceramic material or glass for use on a.c. overhead power and traction lines with a nominal voltage greater than 1000 volt and a frequency not greater than 100 Hz. This Standard applies to string insulator units, pin insulators, line post insulators, shackle insulators and insulator units for overhead traction lines. This Standard is based on but not equivalent to, and has been reproduced from, IEC 60383-1:1993.
