3mm Cylindrical Steel Test Tod Used For Electrical Safety Testing IEC 60884 : 2022

Product Overview:

The 3mm test rod conforms to the IEC 60884-1:2013 clause 24.11 requirement.

A cylindrical steel rod, having a diameter of 3 mm and a hemispherical end with a radius of 1,5 mm, is pushed perpendicular to the supporting mounting surface, in the most unfavourable position, for 10 s against the barrier, the force being equal to 1,5 times the maximum plug withdrawal force.

Feature:

The "3mm test rod" refers to a specific test probe used for electrical safety testing, particularly in the context of electrical plugs, sockets, and similar devices. It is commonly used to assess the clearance and creepage distances in accordance with various standards, including IEC 60884.

The 3mm test rod is typically a cylindrical probe with a diameter of 3mm. It is made of conducting material and is used to simulate a solid object that may come into contact with live parts of an electrical device. The purpose of this test is to ensure that the device under test maintains appropriate clearance and creepage distances, preventing electrical arcing or accidental contact with hazardous voltages.

During the test, the 3mm test rod is systematically applied to different parts of the device, including the terminals, openings, or other accessible areas. The device's design and insulation should prevent the test rod from making contact with live parts, thus ensuring electrical safety.

It's important to note that the specific standards and procedures associated with the 3mm test rod may vary depending on the context and the applicable regulations. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the relevant standards, such as IEC 60884 or other applicable electrical safety standards, for detailed guidelines and specifications regarding the use of the 3mm test rod in electrical testing.

Probe Dimension:

The test probe doesn’t have built-in force, if specific applied force required, the test probe should work together with a force gauge. At the end of our probe handle, there is a M6 thread hole to match the force gauge. Showing as following reference picture:
