The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee GEL/15, Insulating materials, to Subcommittee GEL/15/5, Methods of test, which has the responsibility to: —
aid enquirers to understand the text;
—
present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
—
monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

ELECTRICAL INSULATION – THERMAL CLASSIFICATION
1
Scope
This standard gives guidance on the application of international standards in assigning a thermal class to electrical insulating materials (EIM) or simple combinations of such materials (IEC 60216-1), to electrical insulation systems (IEC 62114) and to insulation for electrical devices.

Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. IEC 60216-1, Electrical insulating materials – Properties of thermal endurance – Part 1: Ageing
procedures and evaluation of test results IEC 60216-5, Electrical insulating materials − Thermal endurance properties – Part 5: Determination of relative thermal endurance index (RTE) of an insulating material IEC 60216-6, Electrical insulating materials − Thermal endurance properties – Part 6: Determination of thermal endurance indices (TI and RTE) of an insulating material using the fixed time frame method IEC 61857-1, Electrical insulation systems – Procedures for thermal evaluation – Part 1: General requirements – Low-voltage IEC 62114, Electrical insulation systems – Thermal classification

Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply: 3.1 electrical insulating material EIM solid with negligibly low electric conductivity, or a simple combination of such materials, used to separate conducting parts at different electrical potential in electrical devices NOTE 1 In English, the term “insulating material” is sometimes used in a broader sense to designate also insulating liquids and gases. NOTE 2 For testing purposes, electrodes may be applied on material specimens without this combination formally constituting an EIS to be tested as such.

EN 60085:2004
3.2 simple combination of electrical insulating materials combination of EIM delivered in joint state for production of devices NOTE For example a flexible material consisting of paper laminated on polyethylene terephthalate film (IEC 60626) constitutes a “simple combination” in this sense. EIMs combined during the manufacturing process of a device do not constitute “simple combinations” in this sense.
3.3 electrical insulation system EIS insulating structure containing one or more electrical insulating materials (EIMs) together with associated conducting parts employed in an electrotechnical device 3.4 thermal class designation of an EIM/EIS equal to the numerical value of the maximum used temperature in degrees Celsius for which the EIM/EIS is appropriate NOTE It may be necessary to assign different thermal classes to the same EIM/EIS for different service conditions. The description of an electrotechnical product as being of a particular thermal class does not mean, and must not be taken to imply that each insulating material used in its construction is of the same thermal capability.
3.5 relative thermal endurance index RTE numerical value of the temperature in degrees Celsius at which the estimated time to endpoint of the candidate material is the same as the estimated time to endpoint of the control material at a temperature equal to its assessed thermal endurance (ATE) 3.6 assessed thermal endurance index ATE numerical value of the temperature in degrees Celsius, up to which the control material possesses known, satisfactory service performance in the specified application NOTE 1
The value of the ATE may vary between applications for the same material.
NOTE 2
Sometimes referred to as “absolute” thermal endurance index.
3.7 candidate material material for which an estimate of the thermal endurance is required to be determined NOTE
The determination is made by simultaneous thermal ageing of the material and a control material.
3.8 control material material with known thermal endurance, preferably derived from service experience, used for comparative tests with the candidate material
4
Thermal endurance evaluation and classification
The thermal classification for insulation materials cannot be applied to an insulation system of which they are components, unless the validity thereof is proved. Vice versa, the thermal classification of a material cannot be deduced from the thermal class of an insulating system of which it is a component.

4.1
Electrical insulating materials (EIM)
Electrical insulating materials and simple combinations of insulating materials shall be evaluated in accordance with IEC 60216-5 or IEC 60216-6 and refer to expected service conditions. 4.2
Electrical insulation systems (EIS)
Electrical insulation systems shall be evaluated in accordance with IEC 61857-1 and classified in accordance with IEC 62114.
5
Thermal class
Since the temperature in electrotechnical devices is very often the dominant ageing factor affecting electrical insulating materials, certain basic thermal classes are useful and are recognized as such internationally. Where a thermal class is specified for an electrical insulating material, this means the maximum used temperature in degrees Celsius for which the EIM is appropriate.

NOTE This table gives the thermal class designations corresponding to different temperature intervals of the RTE for an EIM . The capital letters in the 3 rd row refer to the class designations in the earlier edition of IEC 60085 (1984). The designation “Y” applies also to RTE values below 90.
The thermal class attributed to a material used in an insulation system does not automatically imply that the thermal class of the system is the same as for that material, or for the material with the lowest class designation in case more than one material with different class designations are used in the system.
