13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 2306 IEEE 693 SEISMIC QUALIFICATION OF COMPOSITES FOR SUBSTATION HIGH-VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT 1 2 Anshel J. SCHIFF and Leon KEMPNER, Jr. SUMMARY This paper discusses research on the application of IEEE Standard 693 seismic qualification requirements for hollow-core composite insulators used on high-voltage instrument transformer substation equipment. The IEEE 693 qualification procedure of time history shake-table and static- pull tests as well as the acceptance criteria is evaluated. Failure modes for composite insulators are discussed. Experimental observations show that the acceptance criteria are invalid for qualifying hollow-core composites. The need for a static-pull test following vibration qualification tests is presented. The need for post-vibration-test measurement of damping is discussed. Changes to the IEEE standard and potential research are recommended INTRODUCTION IEEE Standard 693-1997, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Design of Substations [1], is a major improvement in the way the power industry seismically qualifies substation high-voltage equipment. The standard has established discrete qualification levels with associated controlling response spectra, and well-defined qualification procedures and acceptance criteria. In add
