Plug Torque Tester meets the standards of EN/IEC 60065 Clause 15.4.1, Figure 11; IEC 60884-1 Clause 14.23.2 and EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 22.3.
It is designed to verify that appliances with contact pins for fixing to fixed socket-outlets cause excessive strain on these socket-outlets.
Test Procedure
Appliances with pins for insertion into socket-outlets shall not impose undue strain on these socket-outlets. The means for retaining the pins shall withstand the forces to which the pins are likely to be subjected in normal use.
Compliance is checked by inserting the pins of the appliance into a socket-outlet without earthing contact. The socket-outlet has a horizontal pivot at a distance of 8 mm behind the engagement face of the socket-outlet and in the plane of the contact tubes.
The torque that has to be applied to maintain the engagement face of the socket-outlet in the vertical plane shall not exceed 0,25 Nm.
