IEC60598-1 Clause 4.14.1 Test C Rigid Suspension Brackets Test Device

1. Introduction

The test device is designed to meet the test requirement of IEC60598-1 clause 4.14.1 (test C), it is applied to test the bending moment and force moment of rigid suspension brackets under the effect of certain force.

Test requirements:

- For heavy-duty brackets (for example workshop brackets), a force of 40 N shall be applied for 1 min, in various directions at the free end, with the bracket arm fixed as in normal use. The bending moment resulting from this test shall be not less than 2,5 Nm. When the test force has been removed, the bracket arm shall not be permanently displaced or deformed so as to endanger safety.

- For light-duty brackets (for example domestic brackets), a similar test to item a) shall be applied for 1 min, but with a force of 10 N, and the bending moment resulting from this test shall be not less than 1,0 Nm.
