IEC1010-1 and its second amendment, IEC1010-1/A2, state general safety requirements for electrical equipment dedicated to professional, educational and industrial uses.

IEC1010-2-031 deals particulary with probes and so, test leads and their accessories.

These 3 standards are harmonized with low voltage directive.

 

Electro-PJP does 6 main type tests according to

   NF EN61010-1   
EN61010-1
IEC1010-1
   NF EN61010-1/A2   
EN61010-1/A2
IEC1010-1/A2
   NF EN61010-2-031   
EN61010-2-031
IEC1010-2-031

 

 

1/6 Marking and documentation : checking

goal of this compliance : to inform and to prevent user

test configuration : Ø

- controling of marking validity (max. rated voltage, overvoltage category, insulation, and so on ...)
- putting to the test the strength against erasing
- controling data sheet

compliance if marking is complete, right and unerasable

Regarding paragraph 5 from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031

 

2/6 Clearances and creepage distances : checking

goal of this compliance : to prevent electrical hazard for the user when product is mated

test configuration : sample mated with complementary product

- clearances and creepage distances measuring, between conductors under hazardous live voltage and any part accessible for the test finger (tool simulating human finger)

compliance if measured values are more than required minimums, these ones are function of max. rated voltage, overvoltage category (or rated overvoltage), insulation type (double insulation or reinforced insulation, or basic insulation), pollution degree, chosen insulating materials and place of eventual naked conductors

Regarding  paragraphes 6.4.102 a), 6.4.103, 6.7, 6.7.101 and 6.9.2
from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031.

 

3/6 Accessible parts : checking for no accessible hazardous live voltage

goal of this compliance : to prevent electrical hazard for the user when the product is under max. rated voltage but unmated

test configuration : lonely sample, unmated

- setting sample conductors to max. rated voltage
- measuring voltage between earth and accessible parts with test finger (electrode simulating human finger)

compliance if measured values less than 30V~ and 60V

Regarding paragraphes 6.1, 6.2, 6.2.101, 6.3, 6.4, 6.4.101, 6.4.102 c)
from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031.

 

4/6 Dielectric strength : checking for no damage after dielectric strength

goal of this compliance : to prevent any damage of insulation for strict conditions, as partially mated product, insulators loaded with humidity and under a voltage with extended overvoltage

test configuration : sample partially mated with a complementary product (connection between sample and complementary product is just sufficiently to make electrical contact)

- heat and humidity preconditioning for about 2 days
- applying test voltage between conductors and accessible parts with test finger, this test voltage is function of max. rated voltage, overvoltage category (or overvoltage), insulation type (double insulation or reinforced insulation, or basic insulation) and pollution degree
- timing for 1mn and watching sample

compliance if no breakdowns, no corona effects during test, and if no damage

Regarding paragraphes 6.4.102 b), 6.4.103 and 6.8
from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031

 

5/6 Max. rated current : checking for no excessive temperature

goal of this compliance : to prevent any electrical hazard or burn for user when product is under max. rated current

configuration du test : Ø

- setting sample conductors under max. rated current
- timing for half an hour and watching sample
- measuring temperatures on accessible parts for test finger

compliance if measured temperatures less than ambiant temperature increased for 30°C, and if no damage

Regarding paragraph 9.1 from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031

 

6/6 Cable attachment : regarding wire equipped products, checking for connection mechanic between each conductor, and checking for pulling resistance

goal of this compliance : to prevent any electrical hazard directly or indirectly caused by cable breakdown

configuration du test : Ø

- examining connections between conductors
- applying axial pull between connector and cable
- timing

compliance if connection between each conductor ensured by soldering and crimping, and if no damage after 1mn for at least 36N pull (most of Electro-PJP's products are qualified for a pull equal to 4 times this minimum and for 2mn)

Regarding paragraphes 6.9.1 and 6.9.102 from IEC1010-1, IEC1010-1/A2 and IEC1010-2-031

 

MORE : Electro-PJP deals supplementary tests about its products equipped with trumpet-shape end connector or funnel-shape end connector

- destroying any solder between conductors
- applying 36N axial pull between cable and connector for 1mn
- applying 10,000 flexings of 90° at the interface connector/cable in the plane parallel to connector axis, at frequency about 1Hz and under 20N pull (like windshield wiper movement)
- applying 500 flexings of 270° at the interface between cable and connector in the plane perpendicular to connector axis at frequency 1/4Hz (like crank movement)

compliance if no damage
