Overview
EN IEC 60893-3-6:2004/A2:2018 is an internationally recognized standard developed by CENELEC and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It specifies requirements and test methods for industrial rigid laminated sheets based on silicone resins used as electrical insulating materials. These rigid laminates, produced from thermosetting resins and reinforced typically with glass fabrics, are widely used in demanding electrical and electronic applications where excellent thermal and electrical insulation is crucial.
This standard is part of the broader EN IEC 60893 series, which outlines specifications for various insulating materials made from thermosetting resins. Amendment A2:2018 updates Table 5 within the standard to reflect revised property requirements, including flexural strength, impact strength, dielectric properties, and flammability.
Key Topics
- Material specification: Defines the required properties for rigid laminated sheets based on silicone resins, ensuring consistency and reliability across products.
- Mechanical performance: Requirements such as minimum flexural strength and impact resistance to withstand mechanical stress in industrial applications.
- Electrical insulation properties: Testing for dielectric strength, breakdown voltage, permittivity, and dissipation factor to ensure safe electrical operation.
- Flammability rating: Evaluation of flammability (V-0 category) for fire safety compliance.
- Water absorption and insulation resistance: Limits for water uptake and minimum insulation resistance after immersion, ensuring long-term durability.
- Test methods: Standardized procedures primarily referenced from IEC 60893-2 to provide reproducible and comparable results.
Applications
Rigid laminated sheets based on silicone resins are essential in the electrical and electronics industries, particularly where high performance and reliability are required. Practical applications include:
- Switchgear and control panels: Used as baseplates, spacers, and barriers due to high dielectric strength and thermal resistance.
- Transformers and reactors: Employed as insulation material in high-temperature environments.
- Busbar supports and mounting plates: Where mechanical strength and electrical insulation are both vitally important.
- Printed circuit board substrates: When superior thermal stability and electrical insulation are required.
- Equipment for renewable energy and transportation: Situations where temperature fluctuations, moisture exposure, and demanding electrical performance are commonplace.
Using laminated sheets that comply with EN IEC 60893-3-6:2004/A2:2018 ensures safety, performance, and regulatory compliance in these critical components.
Related Standards
For comprehensive compliance and best practices in electrical insulating materials, consider the following related standards:
- EN IEC 60893-1: General requirements for industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins.
- EN IEC 60893-2: Methods of test for rigid laminated sheets.
