IEC 62237:2003 pdf free download Live working – Insulating hoses with fittings for use with hydraulic tools and equipment
1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to mobile insulating hoses with fittings used withhydraulic tools and equipment for live working at nominal voltages exceeding 1 kV r.m.s. atpower frequency.
The use under D.C. conditions is not covered by this standard.
Insulating hoses with fittings are used to provide a connection between the hydraulic tool andthe pump which are at different potentials. They are not considered as a fixed component of alive working device (e.g. aerial device).They can be connected and disconnected under
negligible pressure.They can be directly handled by the user.

3Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions and the ones included inIEC61318 apply.
3.1
insulating hose with fittings
insulating and pressure resistant hose and fittings which are used to provide a connectionbetween parts of hydraulic equipment at different electric potentials
[Definition 12.1.4 of lEC 60743]
3.2
insulating hose
insulating and pressure resistant hose without fittings
3.3
maximum operating pressure
pressure specified by the manufacturer which shall not be exceeded during the use of theinsulating hose
3.4
insulating liquid (for hydraulic equipment)
insulating liquid which is used for the transmission of hydraulic energy between parts atdifferent electric potentials
[IEV 651-11-02]
4Requirements
4.1Protection against corrosion
Metal parts shall be resistant to corrosion either by their own composition or by being suitablytreated.
NOTE When two metallic materials are used, they should be selected in such a way as to avoid electrolytic action.4.2Finishing and mechanical protection
The various components shall be designed so that they do not create the potential for injury.
4.3lnsulating parts
Insulation is achieved by using a proper length of insulating hose.End fittings shall not impairthe dielectric properties of the tool.
The insulating parts shall be characterized by a special colour that shows their insulatingproperty.
NOTE Orange is a preferred colour to indicate insulating parts.
