What is BS EN 60819-2 – Tests for Non-cellulosic papers about?
BS EN 60819-2 is the second part of a series on non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes.
BS EN 60819-2 is a European Standard which contains the test methods to be used in testing non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes to meet the requirements prescribed in the specification sheets of IEC 60819-3.
Along with guidelines on thickness assessment, grammage and dissipation factor and permissively, BS EN 60819-2 also outlines test methods for edge-tearing resistance, shrinkage due to heating in air, electrical strength and conductivity of aqueous extract.
Who is BS EN 60819-2 - Tests for Non-cellulosic papers for?
BS EN 60819-2 on tests for non-cellulosic papers is useful for:
- Electrical engineer
- Manufacturers of non-cellulosic papers
- Manufacturers of cable insulators
- Manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment
- Manufacturer of electrical cables
- Power Distribution companies
- Cable Installers
Why should you use BS EN 60819-2 - Tests for Non-cellulosic papers?
Non-cellulosic papers are used in electric connections as insulators to prevent short-circuits and overheating. It is important to ensure that non-cellulosic papers are manufactured with great care, using high quality materials so that they can resist various environmental conditions.
BS EN 60819-2 provides multiple tests for non-cellulosic paper such as:
- Dissipation factor and permittivity
- Tensile Strength and elongation
- Edge tearing resistance
- Shrinkage due to heating in air
- Electric Strength
- Conductivity of aqueous extract
- Percentage of moisture content
- Loos of mass on ignition
These tests can help users to choose the correct material for manufacturing products and make it safe and efficient. Use of BS EN 60819-2 electrical circuits make the product safe and efficient.
