It establishes the criteria for evaluating the thermal en
20、durance of either electrical insulating materials (EIM) or electrical insulation systems (EIS). It also establishes the procedure for assigning thermal classes. This standard is applicable where the thermal factor is the dominant ageing factor. NOTE A thermal class is not assigned to an EIM as relat

32、d maximum continuous use temperature in degrees Celsius NOTE 1 EIS subjected to operating temperatures exceeding its assigned thermal class can result in shorter expected life. BS EN 60085:200860085 IEC:2007 6 60085 IEC:2007 NOTE 2 EIM with different thermal endurance indices (ATE/RTE according to I
33、EC 60216-5) may be combined to form an EIS which has a thermal class that may be higher or lower than the recommended maximum continuous use temperature of any of the individual components according to IEC 60505. 4 General considerations Relation of EIM to EIS The description of an electrotechnical
34、device as being of a particular thermal class does not mean, and must not be taken to imply, that each EIM used in its construction is of the same thermal endurance. The thermal class for an EIS may not be directly related to the thermal endurance of the individual EIM included in it. In the EIS, th
35、e protective character of other EIM used in the system may improve the performance of an individual EIM allowing its use in an EIS with a thermal class greater than the thermal endurance of the individual EIM. On the other hand, problems of incompatibility between EIM may decrease the appropriate th
36、ermal class of the system below the thermal endurance of the EIM. Therefore, the thermal capabilities of an EIM shall not be deduced from the thermal class of an EIS of which it is a component 4.1 Maximum use temperature The thermal classes in this standard are numerically equal to the maximum tempe
37、rature recommended for the EIS under normal operating conditions as defined by the product technical committee. Product TCs shall determine the operating conditions under which the maximum temperature of the device may differ from the thermal class of the EIS. Such situations may occur because eithe
38、r a shorter or longer life than normal is envisaged, or exceptional conditions of service exist. 4.2 Other factors of influence Apart from thermal factors, the ability of the EIS to fulfil its function is affected by many factors, such as electrical and mechanical stresses, vibration, deleterious at
39、mospheres and chemicals, moisture, dirt and radiation. All such factors should be taken into account when designing particular electrotechnical devices and further guidance on the evaluation of these aspects may be found in IEC 60505. 4.3 Thermal evaluation of EIM Insulating materials and simple com
40、binations of insulating materials shall follow the precepts set forth in IEC 60216-1 and be evaluated in accordance with IEC 60216-5 and refer to expected service conditions. 4.4 Thermal evaluation of EIS Experience has demonstrated that, under normal operating conditions, satisfactory economic life
41、 is obtained for many electrotechnical devices such as rotating machines, transformers, etc., that are designed and built in accordance with standards based on thermal evaluations of EIS. Test procedures for the thermal evaluation of EIS shall follow the precepts set forth in IEC 60505. Specific tes
42、t procedures for EIS intended for use in low-voltage devices are listed in IEC 61857 and IEC 61858. 5 Thermal class Since the temperature in electrotechnical devices is very often the dominant ageing factor affecting the EIM in the EIS, certain basic thermal classes are useful and have been recogniz
43、ed as such internationally. Where a thermal class is specified for an EIS, this means BS EN 60085:2008 7 the recommended maximum continuous use temperature in degrees Celsius for which that combination of EIM is appropriate. Thermal classes shall be assigned to an EIS based on service experience or
44、on the results of functional tests based upon test procedures in accordance with 4.4. Thermal classes are assigned to an EIS based on the EIS ATE or EIS RTE. While a thermal class may be applied to an EIM based on service experience or on the results of testing in accordance with 4.3, this does not
45、automatically imply that it is suitable for use in an EIS of that thermal class, or that the thermal class of an EIS in which it is a part is the same as for that EIM. Designations for the thermal classes of are as follows: Table 1 Thermal class assignment Letter designationaATE or RTE C Thermal cla
