IEC EN 60455-3-2 Test for Quartz-Filled Epoxy Resin Compounds Used for Electrical Insulation

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60455-3-2 testing. Gives requirements for quartz-filled epoxy resin compounds in cured form for types EP-F-1 to EP-F-7.

IEC EN 60455-3-2 is a technical standard that specifies the requirements for quartz-filled epoxy resin compounds used for electrical insulation. This part of the standard outlines specifications for each material and specifically covers quartz-filled epoxy resin compounds.

The standard specifies the following requirements:

• Composition: The quartz-filled epoxy resin compound will consist of a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, a suitable curing agent, and a quartz filler. Other additives may be added according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Physical and chemical properties: The compound must meet the requirements for physical and chemical properties such as viscosity, density, gelling time, curing time and thermal stability.
• Electrical properties: The compound must meet the requirements for electrical properties such as dielectric strength, dielectric constant and dissipation factor.
• Mechanical properties: The compound must meet requirements for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and flexural strength.
• Thermal properties: The compound must meet the requirements for thermal properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity.
• Environmental properties: The compound must meet the requirements of environmental properties, such as resistance to moisture, chemicals and ultraviolet radiation.
• Filling content: The quartz content of the compound must be specified by the manufacturer and must be within the range specified in the standard.

By meeting these requirements, manufacturers can ensure that their quartz-filled epoxy resin compounds meet the required standards for electrical insulation.
