What is BS EN 60317-0-9 – Enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wire about?
This part of IEC 60317 forms an element of a series of standards that deals with insulated wires used for windings in electrical equipment. The main objective of the BS EN 60317 series is to ensure winding wires offer optimum electric strength and service life, and to minimize risk of product failure.
BS EN 60317-0-9 specifies the general requirements of enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wires.
The range of nominal conductor dimensions is given in the relevant specification sheet.
Who is BS EN 60317-0-9 - Enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wire for?
BS EN 60317-0-9 on the enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wire is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of winding wires
- Manufacturers and suppliers of enamelled aluminium wire
- Manufacturers of electrical equipment
- Electrical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 60317-0-9 - Enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wire?
Winding wires are largely used in the construction of applications such as transformers, motors, and generators. The main purpose of a winding wire is to interchange electrical energy with magnetic energy.
BS EN 60317-0-9 provides you with nominal cross-sectional areas of preferred sizes. Best industry guidance on properties such as electrical resistance, elongation, flexibility and heat shock, amongst others, are also covered.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-9 provides nominal cross-sectional areas based on width and thickness that determines the resistance of the wire. As a result, you can ensure winding wires meet the needs of the specific application.
Adopting the specifications for the particular type of winding wire in compliance with BS EN 60317-0-9 can ensure properties such as temperature and heat resistance remain intact for the optimal performance of your specific application.
This can help make the right production decisions, to ensure durability and long service life of enamelled rectangular aluminium wires, and to achieve the necessary electrical strength.
