BS EN IEC 60674 is an international standard on specifications for plastic films for electrical purposes. The main objective of the BS EN IEC 60674 series is to ensure adequate performance of insulating materials for operational efficiency of electrical applications.
BS EN IEC 60674-3-2 is one of the parts in the multi-series of documents that gives the requirements for balanced biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films used for electrical insulation.
BS EN IEC 60674-3-2 on requirements of PET films for electrical insulation is relevant to:
BS EN IEC 60674-3-2 provides six classifications of PET film and their respective applications, along with best industry requirements for material and dimensions including thickness and film length. Requirements for physical properties and reference standards to conform the same, are also covered.
BS EN IEC 60674-3-2 also covers the testing of electric strength by following methods:
If you are a manufacturer of PET films, adopting requirements and testing in compliance with BS EN IEC 60674-3-2 can help demonstrate reliability, quality and durability of your products. You can ensure that the PET films offer high tensile strength and chemical, and dimensional stability, for optimal electrical insulation.
