SIST EN 60317-0-1:2014/A1:2019

Overview

The SIST EN 60317-0-1:2014/A1:2019 standard, developed by CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), specifies the general requirements for enamelled round copper winding wires. It serves as an update to the original 2014 version EN 60317-0-1:2014 by incorporating Amendment A1 from 2019, aligned with IEC 60317-0-1:2013/A1:2019. This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and users of copper winding wires in electrotechnical applications, providing up-to-date guidance on material, testing, and performance criteria.

The document ensures harmonization across European markets by establishing clear specifications for enamelled round copper wires commonly used in electrical machines, transformers, and related components. Compliance with this standard guarantees product quality, reliability, and interoperability in electrical insulation and copper winding applications.

Key Topics

• General Requirements: Defines the physical and electrical properties of enamelled round copper wires including insulation, roundness, and dimensional tolerances.
• Material Standards: Specifies acceptable copper rod inputs must comply with recognized copper and copper alloy standards like ISO 1190-1, ASTM B49-17, and EN 1977:2013 for copper drawing stock.
• Testing Conditions: Describes standardized environmental conditions for testing with temperature ranges between 15 °C and 40 °C and relative humidity from 25% to 75%, ensuring consistent and reliable measurement of wire properties.
• Electrical Resistance: Details minimum copper rod quality and electrical resistance criteria to ensure proper conductivity and low energy loss in winding applications.
• Normative References: Incorporates internationally recognized test methods and material specifications to maintain global relevance and technical rigor.
• Amendment Integration: Provides updates and clarifications to the base 2014 version for improved clarity and technological accuracy, including reclassification of annexes from informative to normative status.
