What is BS EN 60317-53 - Tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire about?
BS EN 60317 is a European Standard on the specifications for particular types of winding wires.
BS EN 60317-53 is the 53rd part of the BS EN 60317 series that specifies requirements for tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire of temperature index 220. The insulation may consist of one or more wrappings of aromatic polyamide (aramid) tape of various thicknesses.
The range of nominal conductor dimensions covered by BS EN 60317-53 is:
- Width: min. 2,00 mm max. 16,00 mm
- Thickness: min. 0,80 mm max. 5,60 mm
The specified combinations of width and thickness as well as the specified ratio of width/thickness are given in Table 1.
Note: The heat shock test is inappropriate for this type of wire, and therefore a heat shock temperature cannot be established. Consequently, a class based on the requirements for temperature index and heat shock temperature cannot be specified.
Who is BS EN 60317-53 - Tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire for?
BS EN 60317-53 on tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire is useful for:
- Manufacturers of winding wires
- Manufacturers and suppliers of copper wires
- Cable designer
- Electrical components manufacturers and suppliers
- Electrical engineers
- Electrical appliances and equipment manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 60317-53 - Tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire?
Safety and workability are very important when working with high voltage circuits and equipment. Choice of incorrect wire specifications can be unsafe. BS EN 60317-53 provides guidelines for requirements and dimensions of tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire of temperature index 220 which helps manufacturers to make the right decision. As these wires are used in heavy electrical systems, they need to be precise and selected correctly in order for them to function safely.
BS EN 60317-53 covers the characteristics like electrical resistance, flexibility and adherence, resistance to abrasion, resistance to solvents, breakdown voltage, dielectric dissipation factor and resistance to transformer oil as well as outlines the pin hole test and packaging of the tape wrapped rectangular copper winding wire.
The application of BS EN 60317-53 can assist avoid accidents due to tape wrapping damage and assure a decrease in recalls due to failure while operating, enhancing your market trust.
As a result, if you are a manufacturer of winding wire, complying with BS EN 60317-53 can help you make equipment and appliances more reliable and long-lasting, enhancing user satisfaction and protecting you from electrical accidents.
