This standard was first published as IS 9299 (Part 3/Sec 6) : 1993 ‘Insulating materials based on built-up mica or treated mica paper: Part 3 Specification for individual materials, Section 6 Glass-backed mica paper with B-stage epoxy resin bond’. The committee has now decided to adopt the IEC Standard to harmonize it with the latest developments taken place at international level. This standard is now being published in single number based on IEC 60371 in various parts/sections. Other parts in this series are: Part 1 Definitions and general requirements Part 2 Methods of test Part 3 Specifications for individual materials, Section 1 Commutator separators and materials Section 2 Mica paper Section 3 Specification for rigid mica materials for heating equipment Section 4 Polyester film-backed mica paper with a B-stage epoxy resin binder Section 5 Glass-backed mica paper with an epoxy resin binder for post-impregnation (VPI) Section 7 Polyester film mica paper with an epoxy resin binder for single conductor taping Section 8 Mica paper tapes for flame-resistant security cables Section 9 Moulding micanite This standard supersedes IS 9299 (Part 3/Sec 6) : 1993 and after the publication of this standard IS 9299 (Part 3/Sec 6) shall be treated as withdrawn. The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following: a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’. b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker. In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their respective places are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated: International Standard Corresponding Indian Standard Degree of Equivalence IEC 60243-1 : 19881) Methods of test IS 2584 : 1963 Method of test for Technically Equivalent for electrical strength of solid insulating electric strength of solid insulating materials — Part 1: Tests at power materials at power frequencies frequencies 1)Since revised in 1998. (Continued on third cover) IS/IEC 60371-3-6 : 1992 Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR INSULATING MATERIALS BASED ON MICA PART 3 SPECIFICATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL MATERIALS Section 6 Glass-Backed Mica Paper with a B-Stage Epoxy Resin Binder 1 Scope This International Standard gives requirements for electrical insulating materials made by combining mica paper with glass fabric and impregnating the mica paper with an epoxy resin. The material is supplied in a flexible state with the resin in the B-stage for final cure after application. It may be supplied in the form of sheets or rolls. The specification covers material having nominal thickness from 0,09 mm to 0,28 mm. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

Example: IEC 371-3-6: type 6.1.01 1 371-3-6 © I EC(cid:9) -11 - IS/IEC 60371-3-6 : 1992 The type number is derived from: -(cid:9) the specification sheet number 6 -(cid:9) plus the sheet table number 6.1 plus the number of the product in the sheet table 6.1.01. The descriptive code quoted in tables 1 and 2, for example G32/M75/R71 for type 6.1.01, table 1 is derived from: - glass content (G) 32 g/m2 - muscovite mica content (M) 75 g/m2 resin content (R) 71 g/m2. NOTE - For phiogopite mica paper the letter "M" is replaced by the letter "P" (table 2 only).
