EN IEC 60216-6:2023

Electrical insulating materials - Thermal endurance properties - Part 6: Determination of thermal endurance indices (TI and RTI) of an insulating material using the fixed time frame method

This part of IEC 60216 specifies the experimental and calculation procedures for deriving the thermal endurance characteristics, temperature index (TI) and relative temperature index (RTI) of an electrical insulating material (EIM) using the "fixed time frame method (FTFM)". In this protocol, the ageing takes place for a small number of fixed times, using the appropriate number of ageing temperatures throughout each time, the properties of the specimens being measured at the end of the relevant time interval. This differs from the procedure of IEC 60216-1, where ageing is conducted at a small number of fixed temperatures, property measurement taking place after ageing times dependent on the progress of ageing. The diagnostic tests employed in the fixed time frame method are restricted to destructive tests. The method has not yet been applied to non-destructive or proof test procedures. Both the TI and the RTI determined according to the FTFM protocol are derived from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 as modified in this part of IEC 60216. The calculation procedures and statistical tests are modified from those of IEC 60216-3 and IEC 60216-5.

Matériaux isolants électriques - Propriétés d'endurance thermique - Partie 6: Détermination des indices d’endurance thermique (IT et ITR) d’un matériau isolant en utilisant la méthode de trame de durées fixes

IEC 60216-6:2022 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60216-6:2022 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. L’IEC 60216-6:2022 spécifie les procédures expérimentales et de calcul à utiliser pour déduire les caractéristiques d’endurance thermique, l’indice de température (IT) et l’indice de température relatif (ITR) d’un matériau isolant électrique (MIE) à l’aide de la "méthode de trame de durées fixes" (FTFM - fixed time frame method). Avec ce protocole, le vieillissement se produit après un petit nombre de durées déterminées, en utilisant le nombre approprié de températures de vieillissement tout au long de chaque durée pertinente, et les propriétés des éprouvettes sont mesurées à la fin de chaque intervalle de temps. Ce protocole diffère de la procédure de l’IEC 60216-1, dans laquelle le vieillissement est effectué à un petit nombre de températures déterminées, et le mesurage des propriétés des éprouvettes est effectué après des temps de vieillissement variables en fonction de la progression du vieillissement. Les essais de diagnostic utilisés dans la méthode de trame de durées fixes sont limités aux essais destructifs. La méthode n’a pas encore été appliquée aux essais non destructifs ni aux procédures d’essais d’épreuve. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - clarification de la définition des propriétés d’indice par rapport aux propriétés d’endurance; - remaniement complet de l’Annexe G et du programme correspondant.

Elektroizolacijski materiali - Lastnosti v zvezi s toplotno vzdržljivostjo - 6. del: Ugotavljanje indeksov toplotne vzdržljivosti (TI in RTI) izolacijskega materiala z uporabo metode fiksnih časovnih okvirov (IEC 60216-6:2022)

Ta del standarda IEC 60216 določa eksperimentalne in računske postopke za izpeljavo lastnosti toplotne vzdržljivosti, toplotnega indeksa (TI) in relativnega toplotnega indeksa (RTI) elektroizolacijskega materiala (EIM) z uporabo metode »fiksnih časovnih okvirov (FTFM)«.
Po tem protokolu staranje poteka v fiksnih časovnih okvirih ob različnih temperaturah staranja skozi vsak interval, lastnosti vzorcev pa se merijo na koncu ustreznega časovnega intervala. Postopek je drugačen od tistega v standardu IEC 60216-1, kjer se staranje izvaja pri majhnem številu fiksnih temperatur, meritve lastnosti pa se izvajajo po časih staranja, ki so odvisni od napredka staranja.
Diagnostični preskusi, uporabljeni pri metodi fiksnih časovnih okvirov, so omejeni na porušitvene preskuse. Metoda še ni bila uporabljena za neporušitvene ali dokazne postopke preskušanja.
Tako toplotni indeks kot relativni toplotni indeks, določena v skladu s protokolom fiksnih časovnih okvirov, izhajata iz eksperimentalnih podatkov, dobljenih v skladu z navodili iz standardov IEC 60216-1 in IEC 60216-2, kot sta spremenjena v tem delu IEC 60216. Računski postopki in statistični preskusi dopolnjujejo postopke iz standardov IEC 60216-3 in IEC 60216-5.
