Overview

SIST EN 60819-3-3:2012 is a European Standard developed by CENELEC (CLC) that specifies the requirements for unfilled aramid (aromatic polyamide) papers used for electrical insulation purposes. This document, part of the wider IEC 60819 series, focuses on non-cellulosic insulating papers critical in the electrical industry for their high thermal stability, mechanical strength, and dielectric properties. The standard establishes the properties, testing methods, and classifications for four major types of unfilled aramid papers designed for various industrial and electrical applications.

Key applications for these materials include use in electrical insulation systems for transformers, cables, motors, and electronic devices, where enhanced performance and reliability are required under demanding conditions.

Key Topics

• Material Types Covered:

  • Type 1: Calendered aramid paper
  • Type 2: Calendered aramid paper with improved tearing resistance and conformability
  • Type 3: Uncalendered aramid paper
  • Type 4: Calendered, lower-density aramid paper for laminating

• Revised Normative References: All test methods for compliance are now determined according to IEC 60819-2, which is specific to non-cellulosic papers. This is an update from previous editions that referenced test methods primarily created for cellulosic papers.

• Enhanced Scope: This edition introduces new, very thin versions of type 4 aramid paper to support advanced laminating applications.

• Key Performance Requirements:

  • Mechanical strength
  • Tearing resistance
  • Thickness and grammage tolerances
  • Density and electrical strength
  • Shrinkage on heating

• Conformance and Safety: To ensure safety and quality, all paper types must comply with the requirements in IEC 60819-1 and testing methods in IEC 60819-2, as well as follow the sampling procedures in ISO 186.

Applications

SIST EN 60819-3-3:2012 aramid papers offer effective solutions for demanding electrical insulation needs. Typical applications include:

• Transformers: Used as insulating wraps and spacers in both dry-type and oil-immersed transformers due to high temperature resistance and mechanical durability.
• Rotating Machines: Applied as slot liners, phase insulation, and interlayer insulation in motors and generators owing to their electrical and thermal resilience.
• Cables and Wires: Employed as wrap insulation to enhance flame resistance and mechanical protection in power and communication cables.
• Laminates: Type 4 low-density papers are especially suited for the production of laminates for use in composite insulation systems.
• Electronic Components: Suitable for flexible printed circuit boards and as insulation in capacitors, given their dielectric strength and flexibility.

Related Standards

For a comprehensive approach to selecting, testing, and applying non-cellulosic insulating papers, the following standards are relevant:

• IEC 60819-1 – Non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes – Definitions and general requirements
• IEC 60819-2 – Non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes – Methods of test
• ISO 186 – Paper and board – Sampling to determine average quality

These standards, in conjunction with SIST EN 60819-3-3:2012, provide a robust framework for quality assurance, performance verification, and safe application of aramid insulating papers across electrical industries.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury
