(Main)Electrical insulating materials - Thermal endurance properties - Part 3: Instructions for calculating thermal endurance characteristics
General Information
- Abstract
Specifies the calculation procedures to be used for deriving thermal endurance characteristics from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions of EN 60216-1 and EN 60216-2. The experimental data may be obtained using non-destructive, destructive or proof tests. Data obtained from non-destructive or proof tests may be incomplete, in that measurement of times taken to reach the endpoint may have been terminated at some point after the median time but before all specimens have reached end-point. The procedures are illustrated by worked examples, and suitable computer programs are recommended to facilitate the calculations.
