IEC 60227-2 Clause 3.2 And 3.3 The Vehicle Charging Cables Bending-Snatch Test Equipment

Product Information:

It is used to test the bending resistance of finished cables and PVC insulated cables, and it is also used to test the broken cores of PVC insulated cables under load to verify their reliability.

Bending Test

A sample of vehicle charging cables of appropriate length shall be fixed in the apparatus as shown in figure 2, and loaded with a weight having a mass of 0.5 Ka. A current of about 0.1 A shall be passed through the conductors.

The sample shall be bent backwards and forwards in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the axes of the conductors, the two extreme positions making an angle of 90° on both sides of the vertical. A flexing is a movement through 180°.The rate of flexing is 60 per minute

If the sample does not comply with the test, this shall be repeated with two additional samples both of which shall then comply with the repeated test.

Snatch Test

A sample of vehicle charging cables of appropriate length shall be attached by one end to a rigid support and a weight having a mass of 0,5 kg shall be secured to the sample 0,5 m below the point of attachment. A current of about 01A shall be passed through the conductors. The weight shall be raised to the point of attachment and then dropped, five times.
