IEC 63177

IEC 63177:2024 specifies the test method for the compatibility of construction materials with electrical insulating liquids for use in electrical equipment, such as liquid-immersed transformers and tap-changers, liquid-impregnated capacitors, and liquid-cooled rotating machines used in electrical vehicles and oil pumps. This document is applicable to mineral insulating liquids, natural esters, silicone insulating liquids, synthetic organic esters, modified esters, capacitor fluids based on synthetic aromatic hydrocarbons and e-transmission fluids used in electrical vehicles and oil pumps. The compatibility tests are not sufficient for a full qualification of construction materials for a given application without additional tests requested by the appropriate IEC Technical Committee or equipment manufacturers.
