Overview

EN 60819-1:2012 is a European standard developed by CLC, harmonized with the international IEC 60819-1:2009 standard. It defines the terminology, classifications, and general requirements for non-cellulosic papers used in electrical applications. These specialized papers serve as critical insulating materials in electrical equipment, offering improved performance and reliability compared to traditional cellulosic papers.

This standard supersedes EN 60819-1:1995 and introduces updates reflecting technological advancements, including new material types outlined in Subclauses 2.7 and 2.8. It establishes a common language and criteria for manufacturers, designers, and end-users working with non-cellulosic electrical insulating papers.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Definitions
    EN 60819-1:2012 covers non-cellulosic insulating papers made from synthetic fibers and inorganic substances. Key material types include:

    • Aramid paper (aromatic polyamide)
    • Polyethylene paper
    • Polypropylene paper
    • Glass paper (glass microfibers)
    • Ceramic paper (e.g., alumina-silica)
    • Poly(ethylene)-terephthalate (PET) paper
    • Filled glass paper (with inorganic fillers)
    • Hybrid inorganic-organic paper (combining organic fibers and inorganic fillers)
  • General Requirements
    The standard sets requirements for uniformity, surface quality, freedom from defects (bubbles, pinholes, creases), and consistency across batches. It ensures that rolls and sheets of paper can be handled and applied without damage or deterioration of performance.

  • Material Properties and Composition
    Papers must be free of conducting particles and undesirable inclusions. Thickness tolerances and roll dimensions are specified or agreed upon between supplier and purchaser to ensure compatibility with electrical insulation systems.

  • Supply and Identification
    Guidelines cover packaging, labeling, and information marking. Every package must include:

    • Standard reference
    • Product type and material description
    • Dimensions (width, length, thickness)
    • Quantity or mass
    • Batch number and manufacture date
    • Details about joins in roll material
  • Safety Considerations
    The document emphasizes the responsibility of users to apply testing and use methods safely, recognizing potential patent rights related to material technologies.

Applications

EN 60819-1:2012 non-cellulosic papers are vital for various electrical insulation uses, including:

  • Insulation layers in transformers, capacitors, and electrical coils
  • Electrical equipment requiring thermal and chemical resistance beyond what cellulosic papers provide
  • High-performance applications where moisture resistance and mechanical strength are critical
  • Advanced electrical components leveraging hybrid inorganic-organic paper for enhanced durability

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and users ensure consistent quality and performance of insulation papers, contributing to the safety and longevity of electrical systems.

Related Standards

EN 60819-1:2012 is part of a multipart series addressing non-cellulosic papers for electrical purposes, including:

  • EN 60819-2: Methods of test – detailing test procedures to verify material properties
  • EN 60819-3: Specifications for individual materials, subdivided into sheets for:
    • Filled glass paper (EN 60819-3-1)
    • Hybrid inorganic-organic paper (EN 60819-3-2)
    • Unfilled aramid papers (EN 60819-3-3)
    • Aramid fiber paper with mica (EN 60819-3-4)

These interconnected standards provide a comprehensive framework to ensure that electrical insulating papers meet rigorous international benchmarks for performance and reliability.

Part 1: Definitions and general requirements

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
