Our EFI 01 (Glow Wire Test Apparatus) is fully automated, controlled by microcontroller, for tests related to the risks of fire in electrical devices, according to the test method of incandescent filament (or incandescent tip)
IEC 60695-2-10 – Fire hazard testing. Part 2: Test methods – Glow-wire test and guidance.
The best method for testing electro technical products with regard to fire hazard is to duplicate exactly conditions occurring in practice.
In most cases this is not possible. Hence, for practical reasons, testing of electro technical products for fire hazard is conducted by simulating as closely as possible actual effects occurring in practice.
The Glow Wire Tester (EFI 01) has a loop of resistance wire is electrically heated to a specified temperature and the specimen being tested is brought into contact with this heated wire with a defined horizontal loading.
Observations and measurements are made to evaluate the fire hazard presented by the specimen during exposure to elevated temperatures.
The test described in IEC 60695-2-10.
Our Glow-wire flammability test according to IEC 60695-2 is fully automated, controlled by microcontroller.
You only should set:
- done Temperature Test.
- done Test Time.
- done Observation Time.
- done Put the sample in the car and press the Start button. The sample holder will begin to move forward until glow loop touch and, after the elapsed time settings, the car will go back to the starting position.
