Features:
Gauges for checking dimensions of plugs, sockets, and outlets are precision measurement tools used to verify the dimensional accuracy and compliance of these electrical
According to IEC 60335-2-30, clause 11.8, the "Test Rod" refers to a specific test apparatus used for testing the accessibility of live parts in electrical appliances. This clause outlines the requirements and specifications for the test rod to ensure consistent and accurate testing procedures.
The test rod is a standardized tool designed to simulate the human finger and is used to assess the accessibility of hazardous live parts within an electrical appliance. It helps determine if there is a risk of electric shock due to contact with live components that should not be accessible during normal operation or maintenance.
The test rod specified in IEC 60335-2-30 clause 11.8 typically has the following characteristics:
Dimensions: The test rod is designed to match the dimensions specified in the standard. It typically has a specific length, diameter, and shape to accurately replicate the human finger.
Material: The test rod is made of a non-conductive material to ensure that it does not interfere with the test results or create a potential electrical hazard. Common materials used for the test rod include plastic or other insulating materials.
Surface Finish: The surface of the test rod may have a specified finish or texture to replicate the characteristics of a human finger. This helps ensure that the contact between the test rod and the live parts of the appliance is representative of a realistic scenario.
Compliance Markings: The test rod may feature compliance markings, such as identification numbers or symbols, to indicate its compliance with the requirements of IEC 60335-2-30 clause 11.8. These markings ensure that the test rod meets the necessary standards for accurate and reliable testing.
The test rod is used during the accessibility testing of electrical appliances according to the procedures outlined in IEC 60335-2-30. It is applied to various parts of the appliance to determine if there are any hazardous live parts that can be accessed during normal use or maintenance. The test results help manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies assess the safety and compliance of electrical appliances with regards to the prevention of electric shock hazards.
