What is BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 about?
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 of IEC 60317 belongs to a series of standard which deals with insulated wires used for winding in electrical equipment.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 specifies the general requirements of enamelled rectangular copper winding wires.
Who is BS EN IEC 60317-0-2for?
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 on requirements of enamelled rectangular copper wire are relevant to:
- Copper wire manufacturers
- Manufacturers of applications that require electrical transference
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60317-0-2?
Enamelled wire, also known as winding wire, is a copper or aluminium wire coated with a very thin layer of insulation. Most often, magnet or enamelled wire is composed of fully annealed, electrolytically refined copper or aluminium to allow closer winding when making electromagnetic coils.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 is beneficial as they provide the necessary requirement for wires that have high resistance to heat and corrosion, eliminating most issues of overloading.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 covers the minimum and maximum increases in width and thickness dimensions due to insulation and the bonding layer.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 covers the tolerances of the measured proof strength.
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2 will provide you with methods to obtain high performance copper wires as copper have high electrical conductivity that makes the wires more durable to perform under extreme conditions.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN IEC 60317-0-2:2020 supersedes BS EN 60317‑0‑2:2014, which is withdrawn.
Some of the following changes are:
- Revision to Clause 2 to add new normative references for specifications for copper rods
- Revision to 3.1 to add a new definition for the term “bonding layer”
- Revision to 3.2.1 to the conditions specified for tests to be carried out
- Revision to 4.5 to add requirements for minimal, nominal, and maximal overall dimensions with a bonding layer
- Revision to Clause 5 to reference specifications for rectangular and square copper rod
