Overview

SIST EN 60851-3:2009/A1:2014 is the Slovenian adoption of the European Standard EN 60851-3:2009/A1:2013, which modifies IEC 60851-3:2009 for mechanical property test methods applied to winding wires. This document, published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), specifies standardized procedures for assessing several key mechanical characteristics of winding wires used in electrical and electronic applications. The standard is essential for ensuring quality, consistency, and safety in the manufacturing and use of winding wires.

Key Topics

The standard outlines authoritative test methods for assessing critical mechanical properties of winding wires, including:

  • Elongation: Evaluates a wire's ability to stretch before breaking.
  • Springiness: Measures the restoration force of a wire after deformation, which is vital for handling and winding.
  • Flexibility and Adherence: Assesses the wire's flexibility and the bond between the conductor and its insulation under mechanical stress.
  • Resistance to Abrasion: Determines the durability of the insulation to wear and tear during handling and operation.
  • Heat Bonding: Tests the wire’s capability to maintain insulation integrity when subjected to elevated temperatures.

An important addition in this amendment is the guidance on friction test methods, including a detailed procedure for measuring the dynamic coefficient of friction for enamelled round wires. These procedures help evaluate the performance of the wire’s surface and its response to lubrication, which affects processing efficiency and end-product reliability.

Applications

The standardized test methods in SIST EN 60851-3:2009/A1:2014 are widely used in:

  • Quality assurance in manufacturing: Wire manufacturers apply these tests to ensure products meet mechanical strength, flexibility, and coating adherence requirements.
  • Procurement and supply chain: Purchasers use the standard to specify mechanical property benchmarks for incoming wires.
  • Research and development: Wire designers and R&D teams use these methods to compare new materials and coatings for performance improvements.
  • Electrical and electronics industries: Applied in the production and maintenance of motors, transformers, coils, relays, and other components that contain winding wires.
  • Product certification and compliance: Organizations rely on these recognized test methods to demonstrate compliance with international regulations and to facilitate access to global markets.

Related Standards

SIST EN 60851-3:2009/A1:2014 is part of a broader family of standards concerning winding wires and testing methods, including:

  • IEC 60851-1: Defines general principles, terminologies, and additional test methods for winding wires.
  • IEC 60851 series: Covers comprehensive test methods across different parts focusing on electrical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
  • EN standards on winding wires: European adaptations that harmonize international IEC standards with regional regulatory requirements.
  • Application-specific standards: Such as standards for enameled wires, tape-wrapped wires, or particular industry sectors (e.g., automotive or power generation).

Staying updated with these interconnected standards ensures consistency, interoperability, and quality control in winding wire production and application.

B.1 General
Replace this subclause by the following:
This annex provides recommendations to the purchaser and supplier of winding wires with
respect to friction test methods to be used for winding wires. The use of additional methods
can be agreed upon between purchaser and supplier.

B.4 Test C: Second dynamic coefficient of friction test method
Replace the entire clause by the following:
B.4 Test C: Second dynamic coefficient of friction test method (applicable to
enamelled round wires with a nominal conductor diameter from 0,050 mm
up to and including 1,600 mm)
B.4.1 Test equipment
The design of typical test equipment is illustrated in Figure B.3. Figure B.4 contains detailed
drawings of synthetic sapphires and Figure B.5 is a photograph of the load block. The tester
is supplied with a wire guiding system and a take-up which pulls the wire over the test bed at
15 m/min as shown in Figure B.6. The test block is aligned parallel with the test bed and the
test weights are perpendicular to the wire specimen.
As the wire is pulled under the test block (synthetic sapphires), the friction between the wire
surface and the sapphire surface develops a longitudinal force, which is transferred to the
measuring system by a shaft supported by two sets of linear ball bearings in contact with the
measuring system. The force indicated by the measuring system is divided by the load on the
test surface to obtain the dynamic coefficient of friction.
The measuring system in Figure B.3 shows
