Winding Wires Sectional Committee, ETD 33

This Indian Standard (Part 3) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft fmahxed by the Winding Wires Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1978 covering PVC insulated winding wires for submersible
motors for 85°C operation. Two other standards on winding wires for submersible motors, namely,
IS 10051 : 1981 ‘Specification for PVC insulated winding wires for submersible motors for 105°C
operation’ and IS 12788 : 1989 ‘Specification for PVC insulated winding wires overcoated with nylon for
submersible motors’ have also been in vogue.

In the recent past there has been demand from the industry to make comprehensive revision of the existing
standards on winding wires for submersible motors and also to include other types of insulation which
.ire being extensively used in manufacture of winding wires for submersible motors. In view of this the
new series of winding wire standards for submersible motors is being brought out as follows :
Part1 Conductor data
Part 2 Materials for dielectric and jacket
Part3 Methods of tests
Part 4 Specification for individual wires :
Section 1 HR PVC insulated winding wires
Section 2 Cross linked polyethylene insulated and polyamide jacketed wires
Section 3 Polyester and polypropylene insulated wires

With the publication of these standards the requirements of PVC insulated wires will be covered in
Part 4, Section 1 of this series, and two new types of insulation, namely, XLPE insulated and polyester
and polypropylene insulated wires have also been covered in this series. The old standards will be
withdrawn in due course.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement Gf this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

METHOD OF TEST ON CONDUCTOR DIAMETER AND OVERALL DIAMETER

A-l SCOPE A-S.2 Conductor/Wire Piece

This Annex covers methods for measurement of
conductor diameter and overall diameter of wind-
ing wires.
A-2 SIGNIFICANCE
The measurement of such diameters determine the
range of such dimension and ensure that the re-
quirements of the specification are satisfactorily
met.
A-3 APPARATUS
A-3.1 Micrometer gauge capable of measuring to
two decimal figures (least count 0.01 mm)
A-3.2 Vernier calipers capable of reading to two
decimal figures (least count 0.01 mm)
A-3.3 Any suitable optical measuring device.
A-4 MATERIAL
No material other than test specimen is,required
for performing this test.
A-5 TEST SPECIMEN
A-5.1 Specimen for measuring the conductor
diameter and overall diameter is to be prepared in
a manner suitable for different types of measuring
apparatus as described in A-3. Test specimen may
be the conductorEwinding wire piece.
Approximately 1.5 m length of conductor/wire shall
be taken from the end of factory length.
6 CONDITIONING
No special conditioning of test speimen is required.
The measuremsnts of diameters may be taken at
prevailing room temperature unless otherwise
agreed. The lubricant may be applied to assist in the
handling of the wire. This lubricant shall be kept to
a minimum and shall have no irisulating materials
expected to be used with the insulated wire.
A-7 PROCEDURE
A-7.1 Conductor Diameter
The insulation shall be removed at two places 1 m
apart by any method that does not’damage the
conductor. A micrometer gauge or a vernier caliper
shall be used. Three measurements at 120” angular
displacement shall be made around t.he circum-
ference of the conductor at each of two places 1 m
apart.
A-7.1.1 For stranded conductor, numberofstrands
to be counted and overall diameter as per A-7.2 to
be measured.

ANNEX
(Ckwse 4.2)
METHOD OF TEST FOR D-
B-l Any of the following two methods shall be
applied:
a) If the determination is made by means of
apparatus that is, with an aluminium plate
heated by an electric current passing
through a controlled resistance the sample
is placed between two 18 mm cover glasses
fitting into a well in the heated plate. A
magnifier above the sample makes it pos
sible to view it, and determine when melting
actually takes place. The temperature is in-
dicated by a thermometer which has the
bulb immediately below the plate. For the
purpose of testing by this method specimens
shall be prepared by removing a sample
from the completed wire and cutting a small
rectangular section having sides ap
proximately 3.0 mm by 1.0 mm. Specimens
having clean cut edges and square corners
are preferred. With the specimen inserted
used. Three measurements at 120” angular dis-
placement shall be made around the circumference
of wire at each of two places 1 m apart.
B
ATION OF MEJXING POINT
between the coverglasses, the temperature
of the heated.plate shall be raised rapidly to
about 14CPCwhereupon the heatingshallbe
controlled so that it rises at a rate of ap
proximately 4TIinin.
b) If, the determination is made by means of an
electrically heated capillary melting ap
paratus, a small silver of the nylon covering
shall be inserted in the capillary tube which
is then placed in the electrically-heated
block in close proximity to the thermometer
bulb. The sample shall be viewed through a
magnifying lens against an illuminated
background. The temperature shall be
raised rapidly to about MPC, whereupon
the heating shall be controlledso that it rises
at a rate of approximately 4Vmin.
NOTE-Anyothermdodagmcdbdwecnpumhmerand
supplkr may also be applied.
