What are the principles of LISUN glow wire tester?

Image
  The LISUN glow wire tester is a device that simulates real-life situations in which a product might catch fire in order to determine how likely it is that an electrical or electronic piece of equipment would catch fire in the event of an accident. The LISUN glow wire tester operates according to the following guiding principles: Measurement of temperature: This glow wire tester makes use of a thermocouple, which is brought into direct contact with the wire in order to get an accurate reading of the wire's temperature. Ignition source: the wire is heated by an electrical current, and once it reaches a particular temperature, it will ignite, mimicking a fire danger. Once it reaches this temperature, the wire will ignite. Preparing the Specimen: The specimen for testing is prepared by securing it to the testing apparatus in a manner that replicates the circumstances that would be present in actual use. Test technique: The testing procedure consists of heating the wire to a certain...

How to use a IEC60529 glow wire tester ?

The IEC 60529 Glow Wire Tester is used in the process of determining whether or not a piece of electrical or electronic equipment poses a risk of starting a fire. The goal of the test is to imitate real-life settings in which a product may catch fire and to identify the behavior of the product when it is subjected to heat and ignition sources. In addition, the test will determine whether or not the product will catch fire. When using an IEC 60529 Glow Wire Tester, the following procedures are recommended to be carried out: Obtain the test specimen and attach it to the tester in a manner that replicates the circumstances that would be present during actual use. This completes the preparation phase. Make it a point to check that the tester has been calibrated and that the test circumstances have been set up in accordance with the applicable IEC 60529 standard. Ignition of the Glow Wire The wire is heated by an electrical current until it reaches the temperature that is set, at which p...
