This part of IEC 61857 specifies a general test procedure for the thermal evaluation and
qualification of electrical insulation systems (EIS) and establishes a procedure that compares
the performance of a candidate EIS to that of a reference EIS.
This standard is applicable to existing or proposed EIS used in electrotechnical products with
an input voltage of up to 1 000 V where the thermal factor is the dominating ageing factor.
