A Comparison of the New and Old Standards for the Glow Wire Apparatus

The IEC60695-2-10 standard is a common test method for testing the flame retardant performance of materials used in electrical products. During use, the product may reach excessive temperatures due to overload, short circuit, electrical contact or other fault conditions that can cause a fire hazard. The glow wire test is to simulate the overloaded resistance heat source to apply thermal stress to the sample in a short time, and to evaluate the fire risk of the sample through observation and measurement. The glow wire test is suitable for resarching, production and quality inspection departments of electrical and electronic products, such as lighting equipment, low-voltage electrical appliances and household appliances, machine tool appliances, motors, electric tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, information technology equipment, electrical equipment and their components, and also applicable to insulating materials, engineering plastics or other solid combustible materials industry. There is difference on glow-wire apparatus in version 2013 and version 2000 of standard IEC60695-2-10, the details as below:
The purpose of the revision of the IEC 60695-2-10 standard is to reduce the influence factors of the test environment and equipment on the test results. The change in the diameter of the thermocouple greatly reduces the damage rate of the glow wire. The glow wire tester (models GW-1 and GW-1H) produced by PEGO can completely meet the requirements of the latest standard.

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...
