Dry Arc Resistance Tester is designed to conduct high voltage,low current Arc Resistance test on solid electrical insulation material as per: ASTM standard D495-99 (2004) and UL 746A. Why Arc Resistance Test? Many Cases of insulator failure are due to deterioration of its surface because of sustained electrical discharge or Arc. This test method is intended to test the resistance of insulating material when a high -Voltage low -current Arc close to the surface of insulation, intending to form a conducting path therein or in causing the material to become conducting due to decomposition and erosion. AdvantagesThis Test ensures that your products meet high standards of quality & safety. This product is meant for all Switchgears/ insulator/ Polymer/ electro plastic manufacturers and manufacturers who use insulators in their products e.g. Wiring Accessories, Appliances, HT/LT line insulators etc.
Dedicated PLC system for control of sequence and user friendly.
Key Board with soft keys for entering the testing parameter.
Test chamber with DOOR INTERLOCK System to protect user from direct contact of HIGH VOLTAGE.
LCD Display to set test parameters / read test results.
Continuously display the voltage & current in calibration mode.
Exhaust fans in – built in the test chamber to remove fumes.
Adjustable test jig to hold different test samples of various dimensions.
Input Supply Voltage : 230 V +/- 10 %.
Test Voltage : 0 – 12.5 kV adjustable (max 15 kV).
Dedicated PLC system for control of sequence and user friendly4. Enclosure – Elegant design with Aluminum extruded profile.
The system can be customized as PC based or non PC based.
The test kit helps the user to asses performance of an insulator by subjecting it to high voltage arcing. The insulator under test is expected to passthe complete test cycle as per the ASTM D495 table
