Specifications for particular types of winding wires - Part 49: Glass-fibre wound high temperature resin or varnish impregnated, bare or enamelled round copper wire, temperature index 180
IEC 60317-49:2012 specifies the requirements of glass-fibre wound resin or varnish impregnated, bare, grade 1 or grade 2 enamelled round copper winding wire, temperature index 180. The impregnating agent can be, for instance, polyester or polyesterimide resin based. For this type of wire, the heat shock test is inappropriate and therefore a heat shock temperature cannot be established. Consequently, a class based on the requirements for temperature index and heat shock temperature cannot be specified. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - addition of requirements for appearance, new subclause 3.3 and - addition of pin hole test requirements, Clause 23, Pin hole test.

La CEI 60317-49:2012 spécifie les exigences relatives au fil de bobinage en cuivre nu ou émaillé de grade 1 ou de grade 2 recouvert d'un guipage de fibres de verre imprégnées de résine ou de vernis, indice de température 180. Le produit d'imprégnation peut être par exemple une résine de base polyester ou polyesterimide. Pour ce type de fil, l'essai de choc thermique n'est pas approprié et c'est la raison pour laquelle, il n'est pas possible d'établir une température de choc thermique. Par conséquent, il n'est pas possible de spécifier une classe fondée sur les exigences d'indice de température et de température de choc thermique.

Overview
EN 60317-49:2012 is an international standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) that specifies requirements for a particular type of copper winding wire. This standard focuses on glass-fibre wound high temperature resin or varnish impregnated, bare or enamelled round copper wire, with a temperature index of 180°C. It is part 49 of the IEC 60317 series, dedicated to specifications for various types of winding wires used in electrical equipment.
The standard covers both bare and enamelled round copper wires insulated with glass fibre and impregnated with high-temperature resins such as polyester or polyesterimide. This specialized insulation allows the wire to operate reliably at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for demanding electrical applications.
Significantly, this edition introduces requirements related to the wire's appearance and establishes testing protocols such as the pin hole test, ensuring quality and reliability.
Key Topics
Temperature Index 180°C
The wire is specified to withstand temperatures up to 180°C due to the high-temperature resin impregnation. This rating is critical for applications where thermal endurance is paramount.Glass-Fibre Winding and Impregnation
The insulation consists of glass-fibre wrapping impregnated with a high-temperature resin or varnish, which enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability without silicone-based materials.Bare and Enamelled Copper Wire
The copper conductor covered can be bare or enamelled (grade 1 or 2), with enamel providing additional electrical insulation.Testing Requirements
Traditional heat shock tests are inappropriate for this wire type; instead, this standard defines alternative tests including appearance quality assessment and pin hole detection on the enamel to prevent electrical failures.Dimensional and Electrical Properties
Specifications cover conductor diameter, electrical resistance, elongation, flexibility, and adherence-key parameters important for manufacturing consistency and performance in winding applications.Additional Quality Tests
The standard includes resistance to abrasion, solvents, refrigerants, hydrolysis, transformer oil, and solderability, ensuring wires maintain integrity in harsh operating environments.
Applications
EN 60317-49 compliant copper winding wires are primarily used in:
Electrical Rotating Machines
Motors and generators requiring durable, heat-resistant winding wires for reliable operation under thermal stress.Transformers and Inductors
High-temperature environments where insulation needs to sustain insulation and mechanical properties over long periods.High-Temperature Electrical Coils
Applications such as heating elements or specialized inductive components needing robust, glass-fibre wound wires.Electromechanical Equipment
Various devices exposed to elevated temperatures where conventional insulation materials do not suffice.
These wires are critical in sectors including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and power generation where component longevity and safety under heat load are essential.
