Insulating materials - Industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes - Part 3-2: Specifications for individual materials - Requirements for rigid laminated sheets based on epoxy resins

Gives the requirements for industrial rigid laminated sheets for electrical purposes based on epoxy resins and different reinforcements. Applications and distinguishing properties are given. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. In this revision of the IEC 60893 series of specifications, new material types have been included, changes have been made to the property requirements of some existing types, a new method for testing permittivity and dissipation factor has been added, and all non-specification data for each type has been moved to a new Part 4 document - IEC 60893-4 - Typical values.

Izolacijski materiali - Industrijske toge laminirane plošče iz smol s toplotnim utrjevanjem za električne namene - 3-2. del: Specifikacije za posamezne materiale - Zahteve za toge laminirane plošče na osnovi epoksidnih smol

Podaja zahteve za industrijske toge laminirane plošče na podlagi epoksidnih smol z različnimi ojačitvami za električne namene. Navedene so uporabe in razločevalne lastnosti. Materiali, skladni s to specifikacijo, ustrezajo vzpostavljenim ravnem delovanja. Vendar mora uporabnik material za določeno uporabo izbrati na podlagi dejanskih zahtev za ustrezno delovanje pri taki uporabi, ne le na podlagi same specifikacije. V tej reviziji serije specifikacij IEC 60893 so vključene nove vrste materialov, spremenjene so zahteve glede lastnosti nekaterih obstoječih vrst, dodana je nova metoda za preskušanje dielektričnosti in faktorja izgube, vsi nespecifikacijski podatki za vsako vrsto so bili prestavljeni v novi dokument, 4. del - IEC 60893-4; Značilne vrednosti.

Below Table 1, add the following text to the notes:
The definition of halogen free epoxy laminated sheet is given in IEC 61249-2-21:2003:
The maximum total halogens contained in the resin plus reinforcement matrix no greater than
1500 ppm with a maximum chlorine content of 900 ppm and maximum bromine content of 900
