What is BS EN 61100 - Insulating liquids classification about?

BS EN 61100 defines a system for classifying insulating liquids according to fire-point and net calorific value. The characteristics on which the system is based are given together with limiting values.

The intention of BS EN 61100 is not to provide a complete evaluation of all aspects of fire hazard, neither to establish an order of merit of insulating liquid, but only to set in the same class those liquids that may require a similar type and several safeguards for fire protection.

Who is BS EN 61100 - Insulating liquids classification for?

BS EN 61100 on insulating liquids classification is useful for:

Electrical engineer
Manufacturer of insulators and insulating oils
Manufacturer of electrical equipment
Manufacturer of electrical appliances
Manufacturers of transformers and capacitors
Power distribution companies

Why should you use BS EN 61100 - Insulating liquids classification?

Different insulating liquids have their own properties. Because of this, the usage of insulating liquids also varies.

BS EN 61100 provides you with the classification of insulating liquid based on their fire-point and calorific value.

BS EN 61100 best practice guidelines can help you to prevent accidents and thus loss of property and life by helping you choose the right insulation liquid based on their applicability.
