Overview of the hot wire tester:
The hot wire tester is a program simulation test project using flameless ignition sources as specified in standards such as IEC60695-2-10 and UL 746A. The hot wire tester heats a specified material (Ni80/Cr20) and shape of electric wire (Φ 4 mm nickel chromium wire) with high current to the test temperature (550 ℃~960 ℃) for 1 minute, and then burns the test sample vertically at the specified pressure (0.95N) for 30 seconds. The ignition hazard of the finished electrical and electronic equipment is determined based on whether the test sample and the substrate ignite or hold on for a certain period of time; Determine the ignition properties, ignition temperature (GWIT), flammability, and flammability index (GWFI) of solid insulation materials and other solid combustible materials.

Performance characteristics of the hot wire tester:
1. Adopting microcomputer control is more precise.
2. Intelligent 7mm limit adjustment.
3. The fixture is suitable for various shapes and sizes of specimens.
4. Thermocouples can withstand temperatures up to 1300 ℃.
5. The X and Z directions can move freely, making it convenient for customers to locate the sample.
6. Adopting one click operation, the entire testing process is completed with one button during the experiment, without the need to switch between complex buttons.
7. The sample car adopts a fully enclosed structure and will not overturn.
8. Equipped with a flame height gauge for easy observation of flame height.
9. Full color touch screen.
10. Overtemperature protection.
11. Overcurrent protection.
