The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

 The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts, the standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately.

IK00

IK01

IK02

IK03

IK04

IK05

IK06

IK07

IK08

IK09

IK10

IK11

0

0.14J

0.2J

0.35J

0.5J

0.7J

1J

2J

5J

10J

20J

50J

IK00 - no protection

IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface)

IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface)

IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface)

IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 200mm on the surface)

IK05 - Withstands 0.7J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 280mm on the surface)

IK06 - Withstand 1J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 400mm on the surface)

IK07 - Withstand 2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.5KG falling from a height of 400mm on the surface)

IK08 - Withstand 5J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 1.7KG falling from a height of 300mm on the surface)

IK09 - Withstand 10J impact force (equivalent to the impact of a 5KG object falling from a height of 200mm on the surface)

IK10 - Withstand 20J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 5KG falling from a height of 400mm on the surface)

IK11 - Withstand 50J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 10KG falling from a height of 500mm on the surface)

 

To verify the protection against mechanical impacts, test apparatus described in standard IEC60068-2-75 shall be applied for the test. The standard IEC60068-2-75 mentioned 3 kind of hammers:

Test Eha: Pendulum hammer, can apply to severities from 0.14J (IK01) to 50J (IK111)

Test Ehb: Spring hammer, can apply to severities of 2J and below (IK01 to IK07)

Test Ehc: vertical hammer, can apply to severities of 2J and above (IK07 to IK11)

 

And annex C of standard IEC60068-2-75 gives the guidance for users to choose the right test apparatus. the choice of the test apparatus depends on the orientation of the surface to be tested and on the energy level. Not all methods can be used in every case. It is self-evident that a pendulum hammer can only be used on vertical surfaces without overhangings. Similarly the vertical hammer can normally only be used on accessible horizontal surfaces. When the specimen cannot be moved or turned, for any reason, the choice is limited. The advantage of the spring hammer is that it can be used in any position, provided there is enough room to apply it correctly, and that the specified impact energy does not exceed 2 J. For higher energy levels, a spring hammer would be too difficult to handle, and could even be hazardous for the operator.

 

Pego has a complete solution for IK testing, and the equipment can be customized as per the height of the device that will be tested.

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...
