Insulation class

 Class A
 Class A insulation consists of materials such as cotton, silk and paper when suitably
impregnated or coated or when immersed in a dielectric liquid such as oil. Other materials
or combinations of materials may be included in this class if by experience or tests they
can be shown to be capable of operation at the Class A temperature.

 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 & NEMA MG1-12.43): 105C, 221F.

Insulation class

 Class B
 Class B insulation consists of materials or combinations of materials such as mica, glass
fibre, asbestos, etc., with suitable bonding, impregnating or coating substances (beware a
few older applications used asbestos). Other materials or combination of materials, not
necessarily inorganic, may be included in this class, if by experience or tests they can be
shown to be capable of operation at the class B temperature.
 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 & NEMA MG1-12.43): 130C, 266F.
Insulation class

 Class C
 Class C insulation consists of materials or combinations of materials such as mica,
porcelain, glass, quartz with or without an inorganic binder (beware a few older
applications used asbestos). Other materials or combinations of materials may be included
in this class, if by experience or tests they can be shown to be capable of operation at
temperatures above the Class H limit. Specific materials or combinations of materials in
this class will have a temperature limit, which is dependent upon their physical, chemical
and electrical properties.
 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 only): >180C, 356F.
Insulation class

 Class E
 Class E insulation consists of materials or combinations of materials, which by experience
or tests can be shown to be capable of operation at Class E temperature (materials
possessing a degree of thermal stability allowing them to be operated at a temperature 15
Centigrade degrees higher than Class A materials).
 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 only): 120C, 248F.
Insulation class

 Class F
 Class F insulation consists of materials or combinations of materials such as mica, glass
fibre, asbestos, etc., with suitable bonding, impregnating or coating substances, as well as
other materials or combinations of materials, not necessarily inorganic, which by
experience or tests can be shown to be capable of operation at the Class F temperature
(materials possessing a degree of thermal stability allowing them to be operated at a
temperature 25 Centigrade degrees higher than Class B materials).
 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 & NEMA MG1-12.43): 155C, 311F.
Insulation class

 Class H
 Class H insulation consists of materials such as silicone elastomer and combinations of
materials such as mica, glass fibre, asbestos etc., with suitable bonding, impregnating or
coating substances such as appropriate silicone resins. Other materials or combinations of
materials may be included in this class if by experience or tests they can be shown to be
capable of operation at the Class H temperature.
 Maximum allowed temperature: (IEC60034-1 & NEMA MG1-12.43): 180C, 356F.
