Compression Test Apparatus (IEC 61032 / IRAM 2073 / IRAM NM 60884-1)

The Compression Test Apparatus from Se.com is designed to perform tests specified in many standards where resistance of insulating materials to elevated operating temperatures is to be determined. It is used to test insulation materials used in Electrical Appliances, Electrical wiring accessories, luminaires, motors, connectors, etc. The test ensures that external parts of insulating material, the deterioration of which might cause the appliance to fail to comply with the relevant standards, are sufficiently resistant to heat. Enclosures & other external parts of insulating material are subjected to the test.

The Compression Test Apparatus is designed to meet the requirements of international safety regulatory agencies such as UL, DNV, IMQ, BVSQ, ITS, IRAM, CSA, VDE, DIN, INMETRO.
The sample to be tested is placed on the fixed jaw and the moving jaw is placed on top of it. The whole assembly is then placed inside an oven and maintained at the test temperature for the specified time period. After the test period, the sample and Compression Test Apparatus are removed from the oven and cooled to room temperature.
