IEC60331 Cable Fire Resistance Mechanical Shock and Water Spray Tester

Introduction:

IEC60331 Cable Fire Resistance Mechanical Shock and Water Spray Tester is in accordance with IEC 60331-12 and BS 6387 standard.

IEC60331 Cable Fire Resistance Mechanical Shock and Water Spray Tester is used in testing conditions when the basic flame temperature is at least 830ºC and to test the cable exposed to flame and mechanical shock that needs to maintain the circuit integrity.

Application:
Wire & Cable

Standards:
1, BS 6387: Test method for resistance to fire of cables required to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions;
2, IEC 60331: Test for electric cables under fir conditions - Circuit integrity; 
3, IEC 60331 Part 12: Apparatus - Fire with shock at a flame temperature of at least 830ºC; 
4, IEC 60331 Part 31: Procedures and requirements for fire with shock - Cables of rated voltage up to and including 0.6/1kV ;
5, IEC 60331-1: Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830ºC for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm; 
6, IEC 60331-2: Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830ºC for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter not exceeding 20 mm; 
7, IEC 60331-3:Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830ºC for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV tested in a metal enclosure.


Main Features:
Control cabinet parameters:
1, With dual flow meters and pressure regulators.
2, Automatic control of the testing process.
3, Intelligent detection function, when a short circuit in the sample during the test, automatic alarm and turn off the heat source.
4, Display: touch screen display temperature curve.
5, Timer: 0 to 9 hours 99 minutes 99 seconds.
6, Control Box Size: 650mm(D)*400mm(W)*1200mm(H).
7, Load: 0 ~ 600V test voltage is adjustable.
8, Load current range: 0.1 ~ 3A, test current can be adjusted standards, but more than 3A is protected.
9, Load capacity should be able to ensure the test current approaches 3A can still ensure the test to continue testing. Also apply to spray test and hammering test load requirement.
