Specifikacije za posebne tipe navitij - 8. del: S poliesterimidom emajliran bakren okrogel vodnik, razred 180 (IEC 60317-8:2010)
Ta del IEC 60317 določa zahteve za emajliran bakren okrogel vodnik razreda 180 z enojnim premazom na osnovi poliesterimidne smole, ki se lahko spremeni, pod pogojem, da ohrani kemično identiteto originalne smole in izpolnjuje vse zahteve za vodnik. Razred 180 je toplotni razred, ki zahteva minimalni temperaturni indeks 180 in temperaturo toplotnega šoka vsaj 200 °C. Temperatura v stopinjah Celzija, ki ustreza temperaturnemu indeksu, ni nujno temperatura, priporočena za obratovanje vodnika, saj je to odvisno od številnih dejavnikov, vključno z vrsto vključene opreme. Razpon nominalnih premerov prevodnikov, ki jih zajema ta standard, je naslednji: - Stopnja 1: 0,018 mm do vključno 3,150 mm; - Stopnja 2: 0,020 mm do vključno 5,000 mm; - Stopnja 3: 0,250 mm do vključno 1,600 mm. Nominalne premere prevodnikov določa Klavzula 4 IEC 60317-0-1.

Overview
SIST EN 60317-8:2010 specifies the requirements for polyesterimide enamelled round copper wire, class 180, used as winding wire in electrical equipment. Issued by SIST and aligned with IEC 60317-8:2010, this standard ensures that enamelled copper wires meet stringent performance and quality demands for industrial and electrical applications. The standard covers wires with a sole polyesterimide coating, which may be slightly modified as long as the original chemical identity and all essential properties are retained.
This standard is part of the larger IEC 60317 series, which details specifications for various winding wire types, providing manufacturers, designers, and quality control professionals with a unified reference for product compliance.
Key Topics
- Product Scope: Enamelled round copper wires, class 180, with polyesterimide sole coatings.
- Thermal Performance: Class 180 wires must have a minimum temperature index of 180°C and withstand heat shock at 200°C.
- Range of Diameters: Three grades specified; covers conductor diameters from 0.018 mm up to 5.000 mm depending on the grade.
- Updated Requirements:
- Appearance: Newly introduced specifications ensure visual consistency and product quality.
- Resistance to Refrigerants: Incorporation of testing for chemical resistance, particularly for newer refrigerants, enhancing wire reliability in modern environments.
- Pin Hole Testing: Pin hole test requirements have been added to safeguard electrical insulation integrity.
- Abolished High Temperature Failure Test: This edition deletes some previous requirements to streamline and target performance criteria.
- Mechanical and Electrical Properties:
- Electrical resistance, elongation, flexibility, springiness, adherence, cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance, breakdown voltage, solvent resistance, insulation continuity, and temperature index.
Applications
Polyesterimide enamelled copper wires under this standard are vital for:
- Electric Motors: Ensures thermal and dielectric performance for reliable motor operation.
- Transformers: High insulation standards meet the requirements for transformer winding applications.
- Relays, Sensors, and Solenoids: Precision and durability for coil windings in critical components.
- Electromagnetic Devices: Used in devices where compact, high-performing coils are necessary.
- HVAC and Refrigeration: Enhanced chemical resistance makes these wires suitable for applications exposed to refrigerants.
- General Industrial Equipment: Where resistance to high temperatures, solvents, and mechanical stresses are essential.
Compliance with SIST EN 60317-8:2010 guarantees wire quality, safety, and durability, supporting product reliability in demanding electrical environments.
Related Standards
For comprehensive quality assurance and compatibility, consider the following standards in conjunction:
- IEC 60317-0-1: General requirements for enamelled round copper wire, foundational for all related winding wire standards.
- IEC 60851-4: Test methods for winding wires - especially chemical properties.
