IEC 60884-1 Clause 24.4 Rigid Steel Plate Test Cylinder For Surface Fixed Sockets Outlet

Product Information For Rigid Steel Plate Test Cylinder:

The test cylinder meets the requirements of IEC 60884-1 2022 clause 24.4, IEC 60669-1 clause 20.2. It is used to check the reliability of the fixed structure of surface type sockets.

The main parts of surface type socket-outlets are first fixed to a cylinder of rigid steel sheet, having a radius equal to 4.5 times the distance between fixing holes but, in any case, no less than 200 mm. The axes of the holes are in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and parallel to the radius through the centre of the distance between the holes.
The fixing screws of the base are gradually tightened, the maximum torque applied being 0.5 Nm for screws having a thread diameter up to and including 3 mm and 1.2 Nm for screws having a larger thread diameter.
The main parts of socket-outlets are then fixed in a similar manner to a flat steel sheet.
During and after the tests, the main parts of socket-outlets shall show no damage impairing their further use.
