Electrical insulating materials - Determination of electrolytic corrosion caused by insulating materials - Test methods

Determines the ability of insulating materials to produce electrolytic corrosion on metals being in contact with them under the influence of electric stress, high humidity and elevated temperature. The effect of electrolytic corrosion is assessed in one test by using consecutively two methods: - visual semi-quantitative method consisting in comparing visually the corrosion appearing on the anode and cathode metal strips, with those given in the reference figures. This method consists of the direct visual assessment of the degree of corrosion of two copper strips, acting as anode and cathode respectively, placed in contact with the tested insulating material under a d.c. potential difference at specified environmental conditions. The degree of corrosion is assessed by visually comparing the corrosion marks on the anode and cathode metal strips with those shown in the reference figures; - quantitative method, which involves the tensile strength measurement, carried out on the same anode and cathode metal strips after visual inspection. An additional quantitative test method for determining electrolytic corrosion, which involves tensile strength measurement of copper wire, is described in the informative Annex C. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - experience has indicated the need for improved description of the experimental method. It describes a revised procedure for the visual and tensile strength test method that overcomes the limitations of the first edition; - one older method of the first edition has partly been maintained in the informative annex.

Elektroisolierstoffe - Prüfungen zur Bestimmung der elektrolytischen Korrosionswirkung von Isoliermaterialien

Matériaux isolants électriques - Détermination de la corrosion électrolytique en présence de matériaux isolants - Méthodes d'essais

La CEI 60426:2007 détermine la capacité des matériaux isolants à produire une corrosion électrolytique sur des métaux en contact avec eux, sous l'influence de contraintes électriques, d'une forte humidité et de températures élevées. L'effet de la corrosion électrolytique est apprécié d'après un seul essai, en utilisant successivement les deux méthodes suivantes: - une méthode visuelle semi-quantitative qui consiste à comparer visuellement la corrosion qui apparaît sur les bandes métalliques pour l'anode et la cathode, à celles des figures de référence. Cette méthode consiste en l'appréciation visuelle directe du degré de corrosion de deux lames de cuivre, servant respectivement d'anode et de cathode, mises en contact avec le matériau isolant en essai et soumises dans des conditions d'environnement spécifiées à une différence de potentiel en courant continu. Le degré de corrosion est évalué en comparant visuellement les marques de corrosion constatées sur les bandes métalliques anode et cathode, à celles des figures de référence; - une méthode quantitative, qui met en jeu des mesures de résistance à la traction, effectuées sur les mêmes bandes métalliques pour l'anode et la cathode, après inspection visuelle. Une méthode d'essai quantitative supplémentaire en vue de déterminer la corrosion électrolytique, qui met en jeu des mesures de la résistance à la traction de fils de cuivre, est décrite dans l'Annexe informative C.
