IEC60332 Single Cable Vertical Flame Tester

Description of the instrument

IEC 60332 Single Insulated Wire or Cable Vertical Flammability Tester is used for conductor diameter greater than 8mm (cross-sectional area greater than 0.5mm2) or less than 8mm (cross-sectional area less than 0.5mm2) of the single wire and cable flammability assessment. It is suitable for the research, production and quality inspection departments of electrical and electronic products and components such as lighting equipment, low voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, machine tools, electrical appliances, electric tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, electrical connectors and accessories. In line with IEC 60332.
