Electric Wire and Cable Burning Tester: Efficient Tool for Assessing Cable Non-Propagation of Flames
The electric wire and cable burning tester is a precision instrument specifically designed to determine the non-propagation of flames of cables under fire conditions. This equipment is suitable for various cable types including single plastic wires, control cables, cross-linked cables, elevator cables, ship cables, and mining cables. Additionally, it can conduct vertical burning tests for high self-extinguishing low smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin insulation materials and 105°C low smoke halogen-free flame-retardant irradiated polyolefin insulation materials.
The design of the electric wire and cable burning tester adheres to the following national standards:
• GBT 18380.11-2008 “Tests on electric cables and optical cables under fire conditions – Part 11: Test for vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable – Apparatus”
• GBT 18380.12-2008 “Tests on electric cables and optical cables under fire conditions – Part 12: Test for vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable – 1 kW pre-mixed flame test method”
Furthermore, this equipment is effectively compliant with the international standard IEC 60332-1/2, ensuring international applicability and accuracy of test results.
RSB-WC Wire Cable Flame Tester
Key Features
• Automatic Ignition: Utilizes a high-voltage igniter for automatic ignition, ensuring ease of operation.
Corrosion Resistance Design: Designed with a structure resistant to smoke corrosion, enhancing longevity.
• High-Quality Components: Critical components are imported to ensure stability and reliability of the equipment.
• Digital Display and Automatic Control: Equipped with digital display timing functions, the test procedure is fully automated for convenient operation.
Operating Principle
The electric wire and cable burning tester employs a control circuit to manage the application time of the flame and operational procedures. The device provides a flaming combustion source to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of tests.
Applications
The vertical burning tester for electric wires and cables finds wide application in the cable manufacturing industry, construction industry, and quality inspection organizations. Through vertical burning tests, it effectively assesses the safety performance of electric wires and cables under emergency conditions, providing essential guidelines for design, production, and usage. Moreover, this equipment is used for researching new flame-retardant materials, developing high-performance electric wire and cable products, and establishing relevant industry standards. Continual optimization and improvement of testing methods by the vertical burning tester contribute to enhancing the safety performance of electric wires and cables, reducing fire risks, and safeguarding life and property.
Testing Procedure
• Preparation: Ensure a safe test environment free of flammable materials and check the burning tester for integrity. Prepare the cable samples by cutting them to specified lengths and diameters.
• Sample Installation: Secure the cable samples on the fixture of the burning tester in a vertical position. Adjust the burner position to a certain height above the cable.
• Start the Test: Ignite the burner to initiate the cable burning. Observe and record parameters such as burning time, burning length, smoke density, etc. Maintain a safe distance during the test to avoid injury from sparks.
• End the Test: Once the cable has burned completely or reached the predetermined time, turn off the burner and allow the sample to cool. Compile test data for analysis and evaluation of the cable’s burning performance.
This systematic approach ensures thorough assessment of electric wire and cable fire safety characteristics, contributing to enhanced product reliability and safety in various applications.

Capacitance  refers to the ability to hold a charge. It is a medium for realizing the storage and release of static charges, with the characteristic of permanent charge storage. Capacitor components are widely used in power supply filtering, signal filtering, signal coupling, resonance, filtering, compensation, charging and discharging, energy storage, and power separation in circuits. According to its ability to accommodate charges, it is generally measured in Farads, and the international unit is Farads. Therefore, capacitors are essential components for electronics and power. The role of capacitors: Bypass capacitors and decoupling capacitors are two devices that provide energy storage for local devices. Bypass capacitors can reduce load demand, make the output of the voltage regulator smooth, similar to a small rechargeable battery, and can be discharged and charged. The decoupling capacitor can smooth the edge signals of the device, so as to prevent the input signal from being too

1 General 1.1 Scope and object This International Standard(IEC61032) specifies details and dimensions of test probes intended to verify the protection provided by enclosures with regard to: – protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure; – protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects. SMT IP10T_AL The object of this International Standard is: – to bring together in one publication object probes and access probes currently specified in other standards, together with any necessary new probes;    – to guide technical committees in the selection of test sphere; – to encourage those concemed to specify test probes in accordance with those already specified in this International Standard rather than modify details and dimensions; – to limit the further proliferation of types of test probe. 1.2 General recommendations When selecting probes, priority should be given to IP code probes. The use of other probes, particul
