Test Apparatus For Compression Test For Plug Or Socket-Outlet Of IEC60884-1 Figure 8 Manual Operation
Standard:
IEC 60884-1 'Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes – Part 1: General requirements' clause 10.1, clause 24.5 and figure 8.
Each specimen of plug or portable socket-outlet is then pressed between two flat surfaces with a force of 150 N for 5 min, as shown in figure 8. The specimen is checked 15 min after removal from the test apparatus, and shall not show such deformation as it would result in undue alteration of those dimensions shown in the relevant standard sheets which ensure safety.
Mechanical strength:
The specimens are subjected to a compression test as shown in figure 8, the temperature of the pressure plate, of the base and of the specimens being (23 ± 2) °C and the force applied being 300 N.
The specimens are first placed in position a), as shown in figure 8, and the force is applied for 1 min. They are then placed in position b), as shown in figure 8, and again subjected to the force for 1 min.
The specimens are removed from the test apparatus and after 15 min they shall show no damage within the meaning of this standard.
Application:
It is use for test the accessories, surface mounting boxes, screwed glands and shrouds shall have adequate mechanical strength so as to withstand the stresses imposed during installation and use.
Test sample:
plug and socket.
