Overview
SIST EN 60317-46:2014 (IEC 60317-46:2013) establishes the requirements for aromatic polyimide enamelled round copper winding wire, thermal class 240. Published by CENELEC (CLC), this standard specifies sole-coated round copper wires used in electrical equipment for applications demanding high thermal resistance and insulation integrity.
The standard covers two wire grades:
- Grade 1: Nominal conductor diameters from 0.020 mm to 2.000 mm
- Grade 2: Nominal conductor diameters from 0.020 mm to 5.000 mm
This edition replaces the 1997 version and includes notable updates such as new requirements for appearance, a revised dielectric dissipation factor note, and the introduction of the pin-hole test. SIST EN 60317-46:2014 must be used together with EN 60317-0-1, which covers general requirements for enamelled wires.
Key Topics
- Thermal Class 240: Defines a high thermal endurance (minimum temperature index of 240°C) for use in demanding environments.
- Aromatic Polyimide Coating: Specifies a sole layer of aromatic polyimide resin, ensuring excellent electrical insulation and thermal resistance.
- Conductor Size Range:
- Grade 1: 0.020 mm–2.000 mm
- Grade 2: 0.020 mm–5.000 mm
- Mechanical and Electrical Properties: Includes guidelines for dimensions, electrical resistance, elongation, springiness, flexibility, adherence, heat shock, cut-through, and abrasion resistance.
- Updated Technical Requirements:
- Introduced appearance requirements to ensure surface quality.
- Revised the dielectric dissipation factor for improved measurement clarity.
- Added pin-hole test to assess insulation uniformity.
- Harmonization: Aligned with IEC documentation for international compatibility and consistent interpretation.
Applications
Aromatic polyimide enamelled round copper wires specified in SIST EN 60317-46:2014 are widely used in industries requiring:
- Electric Motors: For windings exposed to high operating temperatures.
- Transformers: Where thermal performance and long-term reliability are critical.
- Generators: To guarantee insulation strength under thermal stress.
- Automotive and Aerospace: Where vibration, heat, and electrical integrity are paramount.
- Industrial Electronics and Equipment: Particularly in high-frequency or high-power transformers.
The high thermal endurance and robust insulation make these winding wires suitable for equipment operating continuously at elevated temperatures, or in challenging environments where thermal and electrical stability are non-negotiable.
