FAQs:
  • What standards does the Arc Resistance Testing Machine comply with?
    The machine is designed and manufactured in accordance with GB1411, IPC650, IEC 61621, ASTMD495, and also complies with testing methods such as JEC 149 and UL 746A, ensuring international standardization for arc resistance testing.
  • What materials can be tested with this machine?
    It is used to assess the arc resistance performance of solid electrical insulation materials, including plastics, resin adhesives, insulating paints, films, mica, ceramics, glass, insulating oil, cardboard, and other similar media.
  • How does the machine determine the arc resistance of a material?
    The machine applies a high voltage with a gradually increasing current to the material surface, inducing arc discharge. It records the time in seconds from the start until the material fails (by forming a conductive path or burning), which is reported as the arc resistance time.
