What importance of IEC 60332-3 Bunched Cable Vertical Flame Tester

In every wire used, there are opposites between safety and danger. How can we reduce these dangers?

Product testing is carried out through professional instruments and professional institutions, and more importantly, the selection of testing instruments.

IEC 60332-3 Bunched Cable Vertical Flame Tester

The IEC 60332-3 Bunched Cable Vertical Flame Tester is an instrument used to detect the ability of vertically installed bundled cables or optical cables to inhibit the vertical spread of flames under specified conditions. It is an essential device for bundled combustion tests of power cables, control cables, and optical cables. Bunched Cable Vertical Flame Spread Tester is a series conforming to IEC 60332-3-10 (Category A~D) standards.

The test measures the expansion of vertical flame to the electronically or optically vertical cable or wire using the standard ignition source while supplying a a certain amount of air to a chamber of a defined volume. Additionally, if bunched cable vertical flame spread testers burner is adjusted by 20 degrees angle, it can be measure under IEEE 383(IEEE 1202) standard. Also, if Heat Release Facility is attached, it can measure fire dynamics value as H.R.R (Heat Release Rate), S.P.R (Smoke Production Rate) and so on.​

Parameters of the Bunched Cable Vertical Flame Tester:

1. The bottom surface of the test chamber is higher than the ground while the rear side is supplemented with insulated material to insulate it from heat.At the lower section of the test chamber, there is a 800±20(W)x 400±10(D) sized hole at the 150±10mm position from the front side of the chamber to supply the air.
2. There is a 300±30(W)x1,000±100(D) sized exhaust hole at the rear corner of the top section of the test chamber to allow emission of the smoke during the test.
3. A flame trap is installed at the front side of the burner of the vertical flame spread tester to prevent backfire by propane to ensure the utmost safety.
4. Unlike the conventional IEC60332-3 equipment, the vertical flame spread tester records all control and test conditions with the computer to add user friendliness.
5. If stop the excessive combustion test due to Water Spray device installed for extinguish.
6. The program on the requirement on standard and 70,000Btu/h can be program.
