IP Testing Equipment IP Test Probe Kit Jointed Test Finger and Test Rod
Application of IP Testing Equipment:
IP Test Probe Kit is a set of tools used to determine the degrees of protection provided by product enclosure against access to hazardous parts and ingress of solid foreign objects. It consists of access probes and object probes, which are required to be pushed against or inserted through any openings of the enclosure with the specified forces during testing. The access probes are used to simulate in a conventional manner a part of a person or a tool held by an operator to confirm whether there is sufficient clearance from hazardous parts. The object probes are applied to simulate solid foreign objects to confirm the possibility of ingress into an enclosure.
Feature of IP Testing Equipment:
IP test probes are made of insulating nylon material and stainless steel.
Each of the test probes is equipped with a wire and an alligator clip to connect to the hazardous parts inside the enclosure conveniently when testing on low-voltage equipment.
Included IP1X/2X/3X/4X Test Probes.
