IEC 60529 IPX5 IPX6 Strong Water Spray Testing Equipment Open Type
Complied Standards & Clauses
IEC 60529:2013 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)” IPX5 & IPX6.
Equipment Overview
Structure: The test equipment consists of a water jet mechanism, an electrical control cabinet, a water storage tank, a support for nozzle, and a turntable. The sample is placed on the turntable, the turntable is caused to rotating by motor driving at a rotation speed of 1r/min, to make the enclosure is sprayed from all practicable directions with a stream of water from the standard test nozzles. The electrical control part and water storage tank are integrated. This whole system adopts open structure.
Samples and Restrictions: Electrical and electronic products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, communication products, household appliances, outdoor lighting and signal devices, etc
Application: To verify the protective performance of the enclosure for electronic and electrical products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, seals and lamps under water jets at degree IPX5 and IPX6.
Principle: Ensure that the water jet speed reaches the standard required value by controlling the water supply flow, the enclosure is sprayed from all practicable directions with a stream of water from a standard test nozzle as shown in IEC 60529 figure 6.
Use Environment:
Power supply: AC380V±5%/50Hz, 5KVA, or match client’s local power supply requirements.
Use place: temperature 15-35 ° C, relative humidity 25%-75%, atmospheric pressure 86 ~ 106kpa (860 mbar -1060 mbar), there should be equipped with lighting and waterproof leakage switch (or socket), the ground needs to be flat, and the water intake and drainage function should be good.
Water source: clean water or tap water without impurities, equipped with water cleaning filter.
