I have read through two international standards relative to the
captioned subject.  There are some differences even though they both are
called the same classes.

        EN 60 355-1                     IEC 85

Class   Temp rise                       Actual temp
A       75 degC                         105 degC
E       90 degC                         120 degC
B       95 degC                         130 degC
F       115 degC                        155 degC
H       140 degC                        180 degC

Since the readily available enamelled copper wires are largely quoted
American specifications as below, I am seeking some advice how to tie
the American approved/classified wires into European requirements.

        UL 506
Class   Temp rise
105     70 degC
130     95 degC
155     115 degC
180     135 degC
200     150 degC
220     165 degC

Appreciating any expert advice.

Thanks and regards,

Raymond
