Which one of the following materials belongs to class B insulation?
Which one of the following materials belongs to class B insulation?
Right Answer is:
None of these
SOLUTION
Class A:
- Organic materials like cotton, silk, and paper when impregnated or immersed in oil.
- Enameled wire with enamel coating.
- Maximum operating temperature: 105°C (221°F).
Class B:
- Inorganic materials like mica, glass fiber, and asbestos (nowadays rarely used due to health concerns).
- May include organic binding substances in built-up form.
- Maximum operating temperature: 130°C (266°F).
Class E:
- Class E serves as an intermediate category between classes A and B.
- May include materials with slightly higher temperature ratings than Class A but not exceeding Class B.
Class F:
- Insulation based on mica, asbestos (rarely used), or glass fiber.
- Binding materials are high-temperature resistant, such as silicone.
- Maximum operating temperature: 155°C (311°F).
Class H:
- Similar to Class F but with even higher temperature resistance.
- Maximum operating temperature: 180°C (356°F).
वर्ग (Class) | Material | अधिकतम संचालन तापमान (Maximum Operating Temperature) |
A | Cotton, silk, paper (impregnated or immersed in oil), enamel | 105°C (221°F) |
B | Mica, asbestos (अब कम इस्तेमाल किया जाता है), glass fiber | 130°C (266°F) |
E | Intermediate between A and B | 105°C से 130°C के बीच (221°F से 266°F के बीच) |
F | Mica, asbestos (rarely used), glass fiber with high-temperature resistant binding (e.g., silicone) | 155°C (311°F) |
H | Mica, asbestos (rarely used), glass fiber with even higher temperature resistant binding (e.g., silicone) | 180°C (356°F) |
