IPX1 IPX2 Water Ingress Testing Equipment Vertical Drip Rain Test Apparatus

IEC 60529 IPX1 IPX2 Water Ingress Vertical Drip Testing Equipment 

 
Complied Standards & Clauses

 
IEC60529:2013 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)” IPX1 &IPX2
 
Equipment Overview

 Samples and Restrictions: Electrical and electronic products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, communication products, household appliances, outdoor lighting and signal devices, etc.
 
Structure: The test equipment consists of a drip mechanism, an electrical control cabinet and a turntable. The bracket of drip box is wall-hanging and with anti-drop function, which can lift automatically controlled by motor. The turntable has a rotation speed of 1r/min, used for IPX1 test; the turntable can be tilted 15°, used for IPX2 test. The test equipment is equipped with a water filter cleaning device to prevent pinhole blockage. This whole system adopts open structure.
 
Application: To verify the protective performance of the enclosure for electronic and electrical products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, seals and lamps under water dripping at degree IPX1 ans IPX2.
 
Principle: Ensure that the dripping speed reaches the standard required value by controlling the water supply flow, the test equipment can produce a uniform flow of water drops over the whole area of the enclosure.
 
Use Environment: Power supply: AC380V±5%/50Hz, 3KVA, 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.
