The SCR Elektroniks Dry Arc Resistace Tester is made to test the electrical insulating material by exposing it to Arcing under high voltage. This test method is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical equipment that utilize insulating materialswhen a high -Voltage low -current Arc close to the surface of insulation, intending to form a conducting path therein or in causing the material to become conducting due to decomposition and erosion.
The test method as per ‘ASTM D 495 – Standard Test Method for High-voltage, Low-current Dry Arc Resistance of Solid Insulating Material’ is pre-programmed in the PLC.
This equipment is made to test the electrical insulating material by exposing it to Arcing under high voltage.
The test specimen is placed under electrodes, spaced at a distance of 6.35mm as per ASTM D 495. An Arc is generated between these electrodes.
As the cycles progress the test becomes progressively severe. The test specimen that has lower insulating strength fails earlier in the first few cycles while those with higher insulating strength sustain higher cycles. The test is halted when the specimen fails and the time taken from the start of the test till the failure is used for comparing INSULATING STRENGHTS (time in seconds) of various insulating materials. The test specimen may fail by forming a conducting path, by burning into flames, by melting or any other physical, visual deformities.
This equipment complies testing as per other standards as well, such as IEC 61621 (Dry, solid insulating materials – Resistance test to high-voltage, low-current arc discharges), UL 746 A (Polymeric Materials – Short Term Property Evaluations Testing For Electrical Properties) and IS 14672 (Method of Test for High Voltage Low Current Dry Arc Resistance of Solid Electrical Insulation).
This equipment is made to test the electrical insulating material by exposing it to Arcing under high voltage as per ASTM D 495.
In PC Based variant, setting will be done through PC Software and report can be generated.
This product is meant for all insulator/ polymer/electro plastic manufacturers and appliance manufacturers that use insulators in their products.e.g. Wiring Accessories, Appliances etc.
The test kit helps the user to asses performance of an insulator by subjecting it to high voltage arcing. The insulator under test is expected to passthe complete test cycle as per the ASTM D495 table
Glow wire apparatus is used for fire hazard testing as per IEC 60695-2-10, IEC 60335, ASTM D 6194-03 & other standards. In this variant, setting will be done through PC software and report can be generated.
High-Current Arc Ignition Test Machine is used for evaluating Ignition Performance Level Category as per UL 746A. It offers a Siemens PLC based control system with all relevant meters on board
