BS EN 60216-6:2006

What is BS EN 60216-6 - Electrical insulating materials about?    

BS EN 60216-6 is a British Standard on electrical insulating materials and its properties.   

BS EN 60216-6 is a part of IEC 60216 which specifies the experimental and calculation procedures for deriving the thermal endurance characteristics, temperature index (TI) and relative thermal endurance index (RTE) of a material using the “fixed time frame method (FTFM)”. 

BS EN 60216-6 outlines that both the TI and the RTE determined according to the FTFM protocol are derived from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 as modified in this standard. The calculation procedures and statistical tests are modified from those of IEC 60216-3 and IEC 60216-5. 

Who is BS EN 60216-6 - Electrical insulating materials for?   

 BS EN 60216-6 on electrical insulating materials is useful for: 

• Circuit manufacturer   
• Electronic wires manufacturer   
• High voltage appliances manufacturer
