EVS-EN 60172:2015

This test procedure specifies, in accordance with the provisions of IEC 60216-1, a method for evaluating the temperature index of enamelled wire, varnished or unvarnished with an impregnating agent, and of tape wrapped round and rectangular wire, in air at atmospheric pressure by change in electric strength. This procedure does not apply to fibre-insulated wire or wire covered with tapes containing inorganic fibres.
NOTE – The data obtained according to this test procedure provide the designer and development engineer with information for the selection of winding wire for further evaluation in insulation systems and equipment tests.Normative references
