UL enameled wire certification technical points
Generally speaking, UL certified enameled wire needs to do four tests:
Thermal Aging Test (Full Thermal Aging Test or One Temperature Thermal Aging Test)
Dielectric Strength Test
Elongation and Heat Shock Test
Infrared Analysis – IR
There are two types of enameled wire UL certification: one is three temperature point aging test, which refers to the situation that the paint of the enameled wire to be certified has not obtained UL certification; the other is a temperature point aging test, which refers to the paint used for the enameled wire to be certified. Or paint film combination has obtained UL certification. For copper clad aluminum enameled wire, even if the paint used for copper clad aluminum enameled wire has UL certification, it also needs to do three points of aging.
For self-adhesive enameled wire, if its paint film combination, that is, all paint films including the self-adhesive layer as a whole, have obtained UL certification, only one temperature point aging is required, otherwise three temperature point aging is required.
During the test, the round wire can represent the flat wire, the enameled copper wire can represent the enameled aluminum wire, and vice versa.
