BS1363-1 figure 2 Plug Socket Tester Mechanical Strength Tester On Resilient Covers

Product Introduction:

The device conforms to the BS1363-1:2018 clause 9, figure 2. Resilient accessible external surfaces of socket-outlets shall be so designed and constructed that when assembled and wired as in normal use, there is no risk that, as a result of undue pressure, live parts could penetrate the accessible external surfaces or become so disposed as to reduce creepage and clearances below those given in clause 8.

The design of the apparatus shall be such that a steady force of 230-240N can be applied to those places where the possibility of a failure exists, the force being applied through a metal test pressure block.

Each sample shall be subjected to the force at each chosen place in turn. During each application of force, a test voltage of 2 000 V ±60 V 50 Hz of substantially sinusoidal waveform is applied for 60-65s between all live parts bonded together and the metal test pressure block.

During the test no flashover or breakdown shall occur.         Plug Socket Tester

After the test it shall not be possible to touch live parts with test 11 of BS EN 61032:1998 applied with a force of 28-30N.
