Overview - EN 60672-3:1997 (IEC 60672-3)

EN 60672-3:1997 (equivalent to IEC 60672-3:1997) specifies classifications and typical numerical values for ceramic, glass-ceramic, glass-mica and glass materials used for electrical insulation. It is a materials-level specification giving guidance on the major electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics relevant to insulating components. The standard is intended to help users compare materials and set minimum material-level requirements, while reminding users that final product specifications must consider fabrication and geometry.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & purpose: classification of insulating materials and indication of typical property values for standard test specimens.
  • Material classification: grouped into families and subgroups (for example groups C100, C200, C300, etc.) to cover porcelains, steatites, titanates, mullites, high-alumina ceramics, single-oxide and non-oxide ceramics, glass-ceramics and glass types.
  • Principal properties covered:
    • Physical: open (apparent) porosity, bulk density, grain/porous structure
    • Mechanical: flexural strength (unglazed/glazed), modulus of elasticity
    • Thermal: coefficients of linear thermal expansion (30–100 °C; 30–300 °C; 30–600 °C), specific heat, thermal conductivity, resistance to thermal shock (ΔT)
    • Electrical: electric strength, withstand voltage, relative permittivity (εr), temperature coefficient of permittivity, dissipation factor/tan δ at 48 Hz–62 Hz, 1 kHz and 1 MHz, volume resistivity at selected temperatures
  • Specification format: tables list typical ranges and indicate where values are minimum or maximum. Values shown in underlined bold are normally important and may serve as minimum material specifications.
  • Testing reference: property values relate to specimens and test methods defined in IEC 60672-2; users must apply those test methods to verify conformity.

Applications and practical value

  • Selecting insulating materials for: bushings, feedthroughs, capacitor substrates, ceramic packages, high-voltage insulators, heater supports, and high-temperature electrical components.
  • Material comparison and supplier evaluation during procurement.
  • Defining baseline material requirements for R&D, quality assurance, and component acceptance testing.
  • Early-stage design guidance to ensure dielectric, thermal and mechanical compatibility.

Who would use this standard

  • Material engineers and R&D teams in electronics and power equipment industries
  • Product designers and electrical insulation specialists
  • Procurement and specifications engineers setting supplier requirements
  • Test laboratories validating material properties

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60672-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 15C: Specifications,
of IEC technical committee 15: Insulating materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1984 and constitutes a
technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60672 is one of a series which deals with ceramic, glass, glass-ceramic and
glass-mica materials for electrical insulating purposes. The series consists of three parts:
– Part 1: Definitions and classification (IEC 60672-1);
– Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60672-2);
– Part 3: Specifications for individual materials (IEC 60672-3).
As outlined in the foreword to IEC 60672-1, the intention has been to remove redundant class
C830, and to include a range of new materials currently used commercially for electrical
insulation. A full list appears in IEC 60672-1.
This part of IEC 60672 describes the typical properties of electrically insulating ceramics for
use as satisfactory insulating components. Certain items are indicated with maximum or
minimum values. These items may be used as a property specification that may be applied to
test pieces. In using this standard as a minimum specification, the user should appreciate that
because test pieces and final components may not have equivalent properties as a result of
fabrication and geometrical factors, the specification of the final product should be based on
actual requirements, and not on this materials specification alone.

CERAMICS AND GLASS-INSULATING MATERIALS –
Part 3: Specifications for individual materials
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60672 is applicable to ceramic, glass-ceramic, glass-mica and glass materials
for electrical insulating purposes. It provides, for guidance, a classification of materials for
general electrical insulating purposes, and indicates typical numerical values for the
characteristics relevant to each subgroup or type of material as determined by the test methods
defined in IEC 60672-2. These numerical values apply only to the specified test specimens and
test methods. They cannot necessarily be extended to test specimens and products of other
shapes and dimensions or methods of fabrication.
2 Classification, guide to properties, minimum specifications
Classification into individual subgroups (types) of materials and typical numerical values of
properties are given in table 1 for ceramic insulating materials, in table 2 for glass-ceramic and
glass-mica insulating materials and in table 3 for glass-insulating materials.
Where a figure given in the tables is underlined in bold, it is considered that this property is
usually of importance for the applications for which the subgroup is normally employed, and
forms the basis of a minimum materials specification.
Certain characteristics are annotated with "maximum" or "minimum". These are characteristics
which are usually of most importance in defining acceptability in the selection of a suitable
insulating material. It is recommended that these characteristics are critically evaluated.
Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance as
assessed on test specimens for properties appropriate to the application of the material.
However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the
actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application, and not on this
specification alone.
