What is IP code probes?

 “IP” comes from standard IEC60529, it is short for “ingress protection”. IP code is a code system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against access to hazardous parts, ingress of solid foreign object and water. The protection level is usually expressed by two numbers after IP, and the numbers are used to clarify the protection level. The first numbers (0 to 6) show the protection provided by an enclosure against access to hazardous parts or ingress of solid foreign object. The second numbers (0 to 8) show the protection provided by an enclosure against ingress of water. The IP code probes are used to verify the first numbers 1 to 4.

The IP code probes includes test probe A, test probe B, test probe C, test probe 1 and test probe 2:

1). Probes A, B, C and D are access probes to verify protection of persons against access to hazardous liver parts or hazardous mechanical parts. The probes are simulating in a conventional manner a part of a person or a tool or the tool held by a person to verify adequate clearance from hazardous parts.

2). Probes 1 and 2 are object probes to verify protection of equipment against ingress of solid foreign objects have diameter of 50mm and 12.5mm or greater. The probes are simulating a solid foreign object to verify the possibility of ingress into an enclosure. But in practise, test probe C and D are also used to verify the protection of equipment against ingress of solid foreign objects having a diameter of 2.5mm or greater and 1mm or greater respectively.

The access probes are pushed against or inserted through any openings of the enclosure with a force. For tests on low voltage equipment, a low-voltage supply (of not less than 40V and not more than 50V) in series with a suitable lamp should be connected between the probe and the hazardous parts inside the enclosure.The protection is satisfactory if adequate clearance is kept between the access probe and hazardous parts, and access probes shall not touch hazardous mechanical parts; The probe A shall not completely pass through the opening; Test probe B may penetrate to its 80mm length, but the stop face (φ50mm*20mm) shall not pass through the opening, Starting from the straight position, both joints of the test finger shall be successively bent through an angle up to 90° with respect to the axis of adjoining section of the finger and shall be place in every possible position; If adequate clearance is verified by a signal circuit between the probe and hazardous parts, the lamp shall not light.

The object probe is pushed against any openings of enclosure with a force. The protection is satisfactory if the full diameter of the probes does not pass through any opening.

The test force apply to IP test probes may be different in relative product standards. Pego Electronics designed two kinds of test probes to fit different demands. One is without thruster, but it provide a connector to work with force gauge to apply appropriate force. The other is with thruster, the force can be applied directly, and force range is adjustable.

UL746A High Current ARC Ignition Test Apparatus 32.5A/COSφ0.5

UL746A High Current ARC Ignition Test Apparatus 32.5A/COSφ0.5   1.  Introduction: The high current arc ignition tes t apparatus is designed according to  IEC60950-1:2001  clause 4.7.3.6 , BS/EN60950-1:2001, BS7002:2001, GB4943-2001 and UL746A, IEC60947.1:1999, GB/T14048.1-2000, IEC730.1:1993, GB14536.1-1998 and etc..  It ’ s used to measure and assess  solid insulating material against to resistance to ignition from arcing electrical sources. A power 240V(AC)/60Hz is to be supplied to the test electrodes  (fixed electrode and movable electrode) , a series (inductive-resistive) air core impedance is to be provided to yield a short circuit current of 32.5A and a power factor of 0. 5. The sample is be to positioned with the electrodes making initial contact on the surface of the sample, the circuit is to be energized and the cyclic arcing started. The timing of arcs is to be adjusted to a rate of 40 arcs/min, the rate of electrode separation is to be 254±...

what equipment can be used for IPX3 and IPX4 water ingress protection test?

1. Spray nozzle 1.  Introduction The spray nozzle hand-held device is designed according to IEC60529 figure 5, it is it is apply to verify the protection against spraying water (IPX3) and splashing water (IPX4) for large size sample. The hand-held device is consisted by spray nozzle, moving shield, counterweight, hose and pressure gauge. The spray nozzle is made of brass and has 121 holes with diameter 0.5mm (1 hole at center, 1 inner circles of 12 holes at 30 0  pitch, 4 outer circles of 24 holes at 15 0 pitch). The moving shield is made of aluminum, the counterbalanced shield is in place for IPX3 test, the water pressure is adjusted to give the specified delivery rate, the pressure to achieve this delivery rate will be in the range of 50kPa to 150kPa, and it should be kept constant during the test, the test duration is 1min/m 2  of the calculated surface of the enclosure and with a minimum duration of 5 min. For IPX4 test, the counterbalanced shield is removed fro...
