IEC60335-1 Home Appliance Supply Cord Flexing Test Apparatus 3 Stations Synchronize Working

standard description :

Appliances provided with a supply cord and that are moved while in operation shall be constructed so that the supply cord is adequately protected against excessive flexing where it enters the appliance. Electrical Appliance Tester
This requirement does not apply to appliances with automatic cord reels that comply with the requirement and test of 22.1 6.
Compliance is checked by the following test that is carried out on an apparatus having an oscillating member as shown in Figure 8.
The part of the appliance that includes the inlet opening is fixed to the oscillating member so that, when the supply cord is at the middle of its travel, the axis of the cord where it enters the cord guard or inlet is vertical and passes through the axis of oscillation. The major axis of the
section of flat cords shall be parallel to the axis of oscillation. Electrical Appliance Tester
The cord is loaded so that the force applied is:
– 10 N, for cords having a nominal cross-sectional area exceeding 0,75 mm 2 ;
– 5 N, for other cords.
