(IEC 60172:2020); German version EN IEC 60172:2021
Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2022-04
VDE Art. No.: 0400498

This International Standard specifies, in accordance with the provisions of IEC 60216-1, a method for evaluating the temperature index of enamelled wire, varnished or unvarnished with an impregnating agent, and of tape wrapped round and rectangular wire, in air at atmospheric pressure by periodically monitoring changes in response to ac proof voltage tests. This procedure does not apply to fibre-insulated wire or wire covered with tapes containing inorganic fibres.
