Electrical insulating materials used under severe ambient conditions - Test methods for evaluating resistance to tracking and erosion

This standard describes two test methods for the evaluation of electrical insulating materials for use under severe ambient conditions at power frequencies (45 Hz to 65 Hz) by the evaluation of the resistance to tracking and erosion, using a liquid contaminant and inclined plane specimens. The two methods are: - Method 1: test at constant voltage, - Method 2: test at stepwise increased voltage. Method 1 is the most widely used method as there is less need for continual inspection. The test conditions are designed to accelerate the production of the effects, but do not reproduce all the conditions encountered in service.

Matériaux isolants électriques utilisés dans des conditions ambiantes sévères - Méthodes d'essai pour évaluer la résistance au cheminement et à l'érosion

L'IEC 60587:2022 décrit deux méthodes d'essai pour évaluer les matériaux isolants électriques utilisés dans des conditions ambiantes sévères à des fréquences industrielles (comprises entre 45 Hz et 65 Hz), qui reposent sur l'évaluation de la résistance au cheminement et à l'érosion, à l'aide d'un contaminant liquide et d'éprouvettes plates inclinées. Les deux méthodes sont les suivantes: - Méthode 1: essai à tension constante; - Méthode 2: essai avec augmentation de tension par paliers. La méthode 1 est la plus couramment utilisée, car elle nécessite moins de contrôles en continu. Les conditions d'essai sont conçues pour accélérer la manifestation des effets, mais elles ne reproduisent pas toutes les conditions rencontrées en service. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) une description améliorée des méthodes expérimentales a été établie; b) une description améliorée de la préparation des éprouvettes a été établie; c) une description plus détaillée du matériau et de la qualité des électrodes a été ajoutée; d) le critère d'évaluation B (longueur de la trace de cheminement) a été supprimé pour les essais selon la méthode d'essai 2 (tension de cheminement par paliers), car il ne s'applique pas.

Elektroizolacijski materiali, ki se uporabljajo v težkih okoljskih razmerah - Preskusne metode za ocenjevanje odpornosti proti razenju in eroziji (IEC 60587:2022)

Ta standard opisuje dve preskusni metodi za ocenjevanje električnih izolacijskih materialov za uporabo v težkih okoljskih razmerah pri omrežnih frekvencah (od 45 Hz do 65 Hz) z ocenjevanjem odpornosti proti razenju in eroziji z uporabo tekočega onesnaževalca ter preskušancev z nagnjeno ravnino. Omenjeni metodi sta:
– metoda 1: preskus s konstantno napetostjo;
– metoda 2: preskus s postopnim povečevanjem napetosti.
Najpogosteje se uporablja metoda 1, in sicer zaradi manjše potrebe po stalnem nadzoru.
Preskusni pogoji so zasnovani tako, da pospešijo ustvarjanje učinkov, ne poustvarijo pa vseh pogojev, ki se pojavljajo med uporabo.
