The product is designed to carry out Arc Ignition Test as per IS/IEC 60947-1 Clause 8.2.1.1.2 (material used for electrical products). The adjustable current source is 230V AC @ 33A. The load is adjusted to get 32.5A at 0.5 power factor. Included on control unit are Digital Voltmeter, Digital Ammeter, Digital Power Factor Meter and Micro Controller based programmable Sequence Timer with LCD display for display & setting. The arrangement is made to mount the test piece with electrodes as per the specification given in the standard.
Material of the products can be checked by continuous cycle of testing by passing high current through the materials.
Safety covers for the protection of user. Only when this cover is in place then only the panel would work.
Emergency Push Button provided: This push button when pressed would stop the test then and there itself.
Output 32.5 A at 230 V.
Separate test mode and set mode.
The product is available in PC based and non PC based mode.
The product tests the susceptibility of the insulator to high current arcing. Once the test is conducted, the UUT is subjected to more tests to assess the after effects of high current arcing.
