Overview

EN 60317-46:2014/A1:2024 is the CENELEC-adopted amendment to the European and IEC specification for aromatic polyimide enamelled round copper wire, class 240. This amendment aligns EN 60317-46 with IEC 60317-46:2013/AMD1:2024 and updates normative references to include IEC 60317-0-1:2013 and its Amendment 1:2019. The document is issued for use alongside the general requirements in IEC 60317-0-1 and was approved by CENELEC on 26 July 2024.

This standard is relevant to manufacturers, designers and procurement teams working with high-performance winding wires, ensuring consistent product definitions and compatibility across national standards in CENELEC member countries.

Key Topics

• Scope & designation: Defines the designation and intended application class - aromatic polyimide enamelled round copper wire, class 240.
• Normative references: Places the product-specific requirements in the context of IEC 60317-0-1:2013 and IEC 60317-0-1:2013/AMD1:2019 (consolidated edition exists).
• Test methods and precedence:
  • Subclauses for methods of test refer to IEC 60317-0-1 and its amendment.
  • Where inconsistencies exist between IEC 60317-0-1 and EN/IEC 60317-46, IEC 60317-46 prevails.
• Specific amendments:
  • Clause references updated to the consolidated general requirements.
  • Some tests, e.g. resistance to transformer oil, are explicitly marked "Test inappropriate."
• Implementation timeline: National adoption and withdrawal dates are specified by CENELEC (implementation by national standards bodies and timelines for withdrawal of conflicting standards).

Applications

This standard supports practical use cases where aromatic polyimide enamelled round copper wire is specified for winding and coil manufacture. Typical application areas include:

• High-performance electric motors and generators
• Power transformers and high-temperature coils
• Industrial and aerospace electromechanical windings where material classification and interchangeability are critical

Benefits for users and manufacturers:

• Consistency: Harmonised technical language and normative references reduce ambiguity in procurement and testing.
• Interoperability: Class designation (class 240) helps designers select appropriate wire compatible with national and international product standards.
• Regulatory clarity: Clear precedence and test applicability avoid unnecessary or irrelevant testing (e.g., oil resistance marked inappropriate where applicable).

Related Standards

• IEC 60317-46:2013 (base international specification)
• IEC 60317-46:2013/AMD1:2024 (international amendment aligned with this EN)
• IEC 60317-0-1:2013 and IEC 60317-0-1:2013/AMD1:2019 (general requirements for enamelled round copper wire)
• EN 60317-46:2014 (original EN edition, as amended by A1)

For implementation and compliance, consult the full published text of EN 60317-46:2014/A1:2024 and the referenced IEC documents. National committees and the CENELEC website provide authoritative bibliographic and adoption details.
