BS 7819:1995

This standard BS 7819:1995 Guidelines for application of analytical test methods for thermal endurance testing of electrical insulating materials is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.035.01 Insulating materials in general

This report describes test procedures for evaluation of the thermal endurance of electrical insulating materials, based on the combined use of sensitive analytical methods for the determination of test acceleration and of conventional ageing tests. It describes the conditions to be observed in the test procedures and shows how characteristics corresponding to temperature index (TI) and halving interval (HIC) of IEC Publication 216 are derived from the test results.
