IEC 62196-1 Electric Vehicle Rewire - Able Mechanical Strength Tester

Rewire-able Plugs and Vehicle Connector Mechanical Strength Tester

Product information:

This testing device is required by IEC 62196-1Ed.4CDV 2020 clause 26.3, fig 19.

It is used to test the mechanical strength of rewirable plugs and vehicle connector which is equipped with flexible cable.

Test principle: The free end of the cable and an additional rope or other flexible means, etc., attached to the flexible cable, both having a total length of 2,25 m, is fixed to a wall at a height of 1 m above the floor.

The sample is held so that the cable is horizontal and then it is allowed to fall on to a concrete floor. This is done eight times; the cable being rotated through 45° at its fixing each time.

Rewirable plugs and vehicle connectors are fitted with a small section (approximately 200 mm) of the lightest type of flexible cable of the smallest cross-sectional area recommended by the manufacturer.

The sample is held so that the cable is horizontal and then it is allowed to fall on to a concrete floor. This is done eight times; the cable being rotated through 45 ° at its fixing each time.
After the test, the samples shall show no damage within the meaning of IEC 62196-1Ed.4CDV 2020; in particular, no part shall have become detached or loosened. The samples shall not expose parts likely to become live. The samples shall maintain their IP rating.
Accessories with a degree of protection IP44 and higher shall withstand the relevant test specified in IEC 62196-1Ed.4CDV 2020 clause 20.
Accessories with enclosures of thermoplastic material shall withstand the test of IEC 62196-1Ed.4CDV 2020 clause 21.4.
