IEC 60950-1 Figure EE.1 and Figure EE.2 Wedge Probe for Testing Document Shredders
 

Product Overview:

This wedge probe meets the requirements of IEC 60950-1 Figure EE.1 and Figure EE.2, clause EE.5, it is used to check the protection against hazardous moving parts.

The force is achieved by working with a force gauge, there is a M6 thread hole on the handle of probe which can match a force gauge.

Application:

The wedge probe, illustrated in Figure EE.1 and Figure EE.2, shall be inserted into each feed opening in the MECHANICAL ENCLOSURE. A force not exceeding 45 N for strip-cut type HOUSEHOLD AND HOME/OFFICE DOCUMENT/MEDIA SHREDDERS and not exceeding 90 N for crosscut type HOUSEHOLD AND HOME/OFFICE DOCUMENT/MEDIA SHREDDERS shall be applied to the wedge probe in any direction relative to the opening. The mass of the wedge probe is to be factored into the overall applied force. Before application of the wedge probe, any MECHANICAL ENCLOSURES or guards that are removable without the use of a TOOL shall be removed. The wedge probe shall not contact hazardous moving parts, including the shredding rollers/mechanisms

Part of Dimension:

The thickness of the probe varies linearly, with slope changes at the following points along the probe:
