Scope This part of BS 1363 specifies requirements for 13 A fused plugs having insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins, for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The plugs are suitable for the connection of portable appliances, sound-vision equipment, luminaires, etc. in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250...
Grounding Contact Test Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R,6-15R,6-20R,7-15R,14-15R or 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 A...
SECTION NINE. GAUGES 40a. The gauges illustrated in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 in BS546 shall be considered to comply with the dimensional requirements if the results of the measured values are within the specified dimensions and the uncertainty of measurement at not less than 95% confidence level does not exceed ±0.0002in/0.005mm. 41.‘Go’gauge for plug (see Fig. 3 and Table 20). The gauge is to p...
Probe Test A tamper-resistant receptacle shall not permit contact to be made between the probe test shown in Figure 132.1 and Figure 132.2 and any live part of the receptacle through the outlet slots when tested as described in this section. Twelve previously untested devices are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in Figure 132.1 is to be applied to each of the outlet slot openings of ...
SECTION NINE. GAUGES 40a. The gauges illustrated in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 in BS546 shall be considered to comply with the dimensional requirements if the results of the measured values are within the specified dimensions and the uncertainty of measurement at not less than 95% confidence level does not exceed ±0.0002in/0.005mm. 41.‘Go’gauge for plug (see Figure. 3 and Table 20). The gauge is t...
Temperature rise Adaptors and their surroundings shall not attain excessive temperatures in normal use. Conformity shall be checked by the following tests. For adaptors with adaptor socket-outlets for BS1363 plugs, the standard test plug described in Annex G shall be used. For adaptors with adaptor socket-outlets for other plugs, e.g, those conforming to BS 546:1950, appropriate plugs fitted with ...
SECTION NINE. GAUGES 40a. The gauges illustrated in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 shall be considered to comply with the dimensional requirements if the results of the measured values are within the specified dimensions and the uncertainty of measurement at not less than 95% confidence level does not exceed ±0.0002in/0.005mm. 41.‘Go’gauge for plug (see Fig. 3 and Table 20). The gauge is to prove corr...
Line and neutral socket contacts shall withstand the stresses imposed upon them by the use of socket-outlet adaptors and the like. Conformity shall be checked by the following test. The socket-outlet shall be mounted with the engagement surface of the socket-outlet in the vertical plane and with the major axis of the line and neutral pins horizontal ensuring that the shutter mechanism does not hav...
1 General 1.1 Scope and object This International Standard(IEC61032) specifies details and dimensions of test probes intended to verify the protection provided by enclosures with regard to: – protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure; – protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects. SMT 1217_AL 1.2 The object of thi...
