In the long-term thermal aging test, three or more temperature points are usually selected for accelerated aging, commonly known as “three-point aging”.
The samples for the aging test are stranded enameled wire pairs. The production of the stranded pairs should meet the requirements of ASTM D2307 or NEMA 1000 standards, including the weight to be applied when making the stranded pairs, the number of twisted turns, the effective length of the stranded area, and The length of the two ends of the twisted pair, etc. When making a twisted pair, the required force and the number of twist turns will vary depending on the diameter of the wire. The effective length of the stranded area has nothing to do with the wire diameter, the effective length is 121¡À6 mm, and the two ends are at least 50 mm long. At least 10 twisted pairs per temperature point and mounted on twisted pair racks for high temperature aging test.
