IEC 60529 Water Ingress Testing Equipment IPX1 IPX4 Vertical Rain Drip Oscillating Tube

IEC 60529 IPX1~4 Vertical Rain Drip and Oscillating Tube Testing Equipment

Complied Standards & Clauses

IEC60529:2013 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)” IPX1, IPX2, IPX3 & IPX4.

Equipment Overview

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 & IPX2 and water spraying and splashing at degree IPX3 & IPX4.

Samples and Restrictions: Electrical and electronic products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, communication products, outdoor lighting and signal devices, etc.

Structure: The test equipment consists of a drip mechanism, an oscillating 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. One end of the oscillating mechanism is mounted on the wall, and the other end of the oscillating mechanism is fixed on the floor support, the tube is caused to oscillate by motor driving. The turntable has a rotation speed of 1r/min, used for IPX1 ~IPX4 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 type structure.

Principle: Ensure that the dripping speed or spraying 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 (IPX1 and IPX2) or make the enclosure of the specimen to be splashed in all directions (IPX3 and IPX4).

Use Environment:

Power supply: AC380V±5%/50Hz, 15KVA, 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.
