Glow Wire Test Device.
The Glow Wire Test Device plays a critical role in fire safety assessments of electrical and electronic equipment. This device simulates the effects of high temperatures caused by overheating or faults, aiming to minimize fire risk.
What is the Glow Wire Test?
The glow wire test is used to simulate faults and heating effects in electrical equipment caused by overloaded connections or overheated components. This test evaluates the ignition tendencies of materials when exposed to high temperatures.

Purpose of the Test
The primary purpose of this test is to assess the fire risk of electrical equipment under normal operating conditions or in the event of a fault. The glow wire test evaluates the flammability of materials when subjected to high temperatures.
Features of the Glow Wire Test Device
- Temperature Adjustment: The device offers an adjustable temperature range between 370°C and 1000°C.
- Automatic Operation: The test setup operates automatically with a motorized system that moves the sample toward the heated wire. When the sample contacts the wire, a timer starts automatically, and the sample carriage reverses direction after the set duration.
- Control and Stabilization: Equipped with a microprocessor-based control and stabilization system for precise temperature control and accurate test duration management.
- Flame Height Measurement: A precise scale is included for measuring flame height, enabling detailed analysis of combustion behavior.
Application Areas
- Plastics Industry: Used to evaluate the resistance of plastic materials to high temperatures.
- Electrical Equipment Manufacturers: Used in fire safety tests of electrical components and devices.
- Lighting Equipment: Tests the fire resistance of lamps and lighting systems.
- Household Appliances: Ensures compliance with safety standards for white goods and small appliances.

Часто задаваемые вопросы.
What is the glow wire test used for?
The glow wire test simulates the heating effects of faults in electrical equipment, such as an overloaded connection or an overheated component. It evaluates how readily a material ignites at high temperatures, so the fire risk of the equipment can be assessed under normal operating conditions or in the event of a fault.
What temperature range does a glow wire test device cover?
A glow wire test device has an adjustable temperature range of 370°C to 1000°C. A microprocessor-based control and stabilization system provides precise temperature control over this range and also manages the duration of each test accurately.
How does a glow wire test apparatus carry out a test?
The test runs automatically. A motorized system moves the sample toward the heated wire, a timer starts the moment the sample makes contact, and the sample carriage reverses direction once the set duration has elapsed. A precise scale for measuring flame height is included, so the combustion behavior can be analyzed in detail.
Which standards apply to glow wire testing?
Glow wire test devices are designed in compliance with international fire safety standards, primarily IEC 60695-2-10 and UL 746A. These standards spell out the test procedures and criteria used in fire safety assessments of electrical and electronic equipment.
Which industries and products rely on glow wire testing?
Plastics manufacturers use glow wire testing to evaluate how their materials resist high temperatures, and electrical equipment makers rely on it for fire safety tests of components and devices. It is also used to test the fire resistance of lamps and lighting systems, and to check that white goods and small household appliances comply with safety standards.
