BS EN 60819-3-1:2001

What is BS EN 60819-3-1 – Non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes about? 

BS EN 60819-3-1 is a part of the series on non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes. BS EN 60819-3-1 is a European Standard on filled glass paper which provides the specifications for individual materials.  
This sheet of IEC 60819-3 specifies requirements for two types of filled glass paper designated: 

• P-FG type 1: high inorganic content paper with maximum organic content 15 %
• P-FG type 2: medium inorganic content paper with maximum organic content 25 %. 

Who is BS EN 60819-3-1 - Non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes for? 

BS EN 60819-3-1 on non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes is relevant to: 

• Electrical equipment manufacturer 
• Insulation material manufacturer 
• Non-cellulosic materials manufacturer 
• Mechanical industry 
• Electrical engineers  

Why should you use BS EN 60819-3-1 - Non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes? 

Non-cellulosic is designating synthetic fibres made from materials other than plant derivatives.  

BS EN 60819-3-1 provides requirements and specifications for non-cellulosic papers, which includes desired thickness, moisture content, loss of mass, Minimum value of elongation at break, thermal classification and physical and electrical requirements. 

BS EN 60819-3-1 is beneficial as provide manufacturers with the required guidance and specifications on non-cellulosic papers to manufacture more durable non-cellulosic papers. 

By adopting BS EN 60819-3-1, the user can increase the efficacy of electrical materials and enhance the product’s standard and quality.
