Parts of electrical and electronic equipment may be exposed to overheating stress due to the action of electricity, and their deterioration may reduce the safety performance of the equipment. These parts should not be unduly affected by heat and fire generated inside the equipment. Parts of insulating materials or other solid combustible materials that are prone to flame spread inside the equipment may ignite due to hot wires or hot components. Ignition occurs under certain conditions, such as fault current flowing through wires, component overload, and hot components in poor contact.

Glow-wire combustion chamber is to simulate the thermal stress caused by heat sources or ignition sources such as glow-wire components or overload resistors in a short period of time under fault or overload conditions to assess the fire risk of products.
