High Voltage and Continuity Test Bench for Switches & Sockets

The High Voltage and Continuity Test Bench is designed to test Switches and Sockets for all di-electric withstand and leakage current. The test is carried out as per IEC 60669 (for switches) and IEC 60884 (for sockets). 

The system employs PLC module to ensure a robust control over entire test sequence and safety interlocks. This test bench can be customized with respect to the test voltage (kV), leakage current measurement (mA), test time. A set of 4 switches/sockets simultaneously tested in 8 seconds, this rapid test operation making the bench ideally compatible on fully automated production lines.  

In addition, there is a continuity test module which helps in checking the conformance of the switches /sockets

Salient Features

Customisation

The product can be made PC based or PLC based. The maximum di-electric withstand level (kV) can be customized. A 2-in-1 switch / socket dielectric withstand test can also be designed and integrated in a single bench with two distinct set of fixtures, one for switch testing and other for socket testing

Specification

Application Note

The product tests di-electric withstand capacity of various insulating paths in a switch such as opposite poles, adjacent poles, terminals to body, etc. as given in IEC standard. The yield of this equipment is extremely high, thus enabling rapid testing of switches

Endurance test setup for Switches (IEC 60669, IS 3854 and BS EN 60669)

The SCR Elektroniks make Endurance Test Bench designed to verify the endurance testing of household and rocker switches and Sockets as per IEC 60669/BS EN 60669. Typical ratings covered are for the entire range (typically 6A – 45A) for both 3 phase and single phase loads.

The tests included (that can be customized) are, Normal Operation (as per Cl 19.1 in IEC 60669/IS 3854/BS EN 60669), Making and Breaking Capacity (as per Cl 18.1 in IEC 60669/ IS 3854/BS EN 60669), Temperature Rise (as per Cl 17 in IEC 60669/IS 3854/ BS EN 60669), Fluorescent Lamp Load (as per Cl 19.2 in IEC 60669/IS 3854/BS EN 60669), Tungsten Filament Lamp Load (as per Cl 18.2 in IEC 60669/IS 3854/BS EN 60669)

Specification

Variant / Customization

The number of stations, discrete current ratingd, PLC / microcontroller / PC based, tests as per BIS, IEC, BS, etc. can be customized. The system can also be clubbed with switch endurance bench wherein the source and load are common, thus giving a economical solution. The fixtures are designed exactly as per the customer samples.

Application Note

The product is used to test the endurance of sockets when subjected to repititive strokes with an inductive load at the output. The product also identifies the number of cycles it withstands before ‘contact open’ or ‘contact weld’ condition is detected thus giving an exact quality assesment of the switch under test. The customer can even test its own and competitor’s product and compare the performance
