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)
