IEC 61857-1:2004 ED2

Electrical insulation systems - Procedures for thermal evaluation - Part 1: General requirements - Low-voltage IEC 61857-1:2004 ED2

Publication date:   Nov 10, 2004

Scope

Specifies a general test procedure for the thermal evaluation and qualification of electrical insulation systems (EIS) and establishes a procedure that compares the performance of a candidate EIS to that of a reference EIS.
This basic standard is applicable to existing or proposed EIS used in electrotechnical products with an input voltage of up to 1 000 V where the thermal factor is the dominating ageing factor.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998, and constitutes a technical revision to make this basic standard compatible with parts 21 and 22.
