The glow wire test equipment is a device that is used to assess the capability of electrical and electronic components to endure circumstances of high heat, fire, and temperature. The test is carried out by first heating a thin wire, which is often made of nichrome, to a temperature that has been predetermined, and then putting the heated wire into contact with the component that is being evaluated. The glow wire test is used to replicate the effects of high temperatures on the component, such as those that are created by a fire, and to assess the component's capacity to continue operating and to prevent the spread of fire.
