GLOW WIRE TEST APPARATUS (IEC 60695-2-10).

IEC 60695-2-10 - Fire hazard testing.
Part 2: Test methods - Glow-wire test and guidance.

The GLOW WIRE APPARATUS from Se.com is Fully automated test equipment for fire hazard testing as per IEC-60695-2-10, controlled by microcontroller.

The GLOW WIRE APPARATUS from Se.com is designed and manufactured to perform the test specified in many standards (IEC 60335, IEC 60065, IEC 60745, IEC 61029, IEC 60950) to check resistance to fire in insulating parts.
Its is designed to meet the requirements of international safety regulatory agencies such as UL, DNV, IMQ, BVSQ, ITS, IRAM, CSA, VDE, DIN, INMETRO.

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.

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.
