What is BS EN 60836 - Silicone insulating liquids about?
BS EN 60836 is a European standard on fluids for electrotechnical applications. Silicone insulating liquid’s main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges. BS EN 60836 cover specifications and test methods for unused silicone liquids intended for use in transformers and other electrotechnical equipment. Besides the standard transformer applications, there are other applications of silicone liquids, such as cable accessories, capacitors, electrical magnets, etc.
Who is BS EN 60836 - Silicone insulating liquids for?
BS EN 60836 on silicone insulating liquids is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of insulating equipment
- Silicone manufacturer
- Cable manufacturers
- Electrical engineer
Why should you use BS EN 60836 - Silicone insulating liquids?
Silicone insulating liquids are liquid organopolysiloxanes whose molecular structure consists mainly of linear chains of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with hydrocarbon groups attached to the silicon atoms.
BS EN 60836 provides properties relating to health, safety, and the environment, General delivery requirements and identification, storage and maintenance, sampling, properties with test methods, and specification of silicone transformer liquid. As a result, BS EN 60836 provides reliability and durability that can assess the quality of the insulating materials, sampling and testing will help you to determine the right quality of unused silicone insulating liquids. Using BS EN 60836 you can understand specifications and test methods for unused silicone liquids intended for use in transformers and other electrotechnical equipment.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 60836:2015 replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Classification of liquids according to IEC 61039 have been adapted with respect to the latest edition of IEC 61039:2008
- Classification of liquids according to IEC 61100:1992 have been removed as IEC 61100 has been withdrawn
- Minimum requirements for other silicone liquids for electrotechnical purposes have been added
