Wire and Cable Flame Test Chamber

The RSB-WC Single Wire and Cable Flame Test Chamber (also known as Single Wire and Cable Combustion Tester) is a testing device specially designed by LISUN for detecting the combustion characteristics of single insulated wires and cables. It is used to evaluate the combustion performance, flame spread rate, and dripping properties of wires and cables under flame conditions.

The RSB-WC Single Wire and Cable Combustion Tester adopts a smoke-corrosion-resistant iron plate-sprayed combustion chamber and integrates imported key components (such as flame control modules and timing units), enabling automatic control of the test procedure and digital display monitoring of combustion time. It features convenient operation and stable, reliable test results.

The RSB-WC supports the testing of wires and cables with a conductor diameter > 0.8mm or a cross-sectional area > 0.5mm², covering mainstream wire and cable specifications for household, industrial, and electrical appliance supporting applications. It effectively meets the needs of high-precision laboratory testing and batch quality screening on production lines.

Applications：
1. Wire and Cable Manufacturing Industry
• Household Wire and Cable Testing: Tests household cables such as RVV PVC insulated flexible cables and BV copper-core PVC insulated wires to verify their vertical burning performance under flame conditions, ensuring compliance with GB/T 5023.1-2008 and IEC 60227-1:2007 requirements and preventing household fires caused by cable burns.
• Industrial Cable Quality Control: Tests the flame spread rate and dripping characteristics of industrial cables such as YJV cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables and VV PVC insulated cables to meet the dripping measurement requirements of GB/T 18380.13-2022, ensuring electrical safety in industrial settings.

2. Home Appliance Support Industry
• Home Appliance Internal Wiring Testing: Verifies the combustion performance of internal connecting cables (such as motor leads and control panel cables) in home appliances such as washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators. This test complies with the safety requirements for “Preventing internal insulation cables from burning in home appliances” in GB 4706.1-2024 (IEC 60335-1:2023). This prevents ignition of cables and the destruction of the entire appliance during appliance malfunctions.
• Small Appliance Power Cord Testing: Tests the power cords of small appliances such as rice cookers and electric kettles. The test passes the 1kW premixed flame test (GB/T 18380.12-2022) to ensure that the power cords do not continue to burn under high-temperature flames, reducing user risks.

3. Testing and Certification
• Third-party laboratory testing: Third-party testing organizations such as SGS and CQC use this equipment to provide wire and cable companies with compliance test reports based on standards such as IEC 60332-1-1:2004 and GB/T 12666.5-2001, helping them obtain CE and CCC certifications.
• Enterprise R&D verification: During the development phase of new products (such as low-smoke, halogen-free, flame-retardant cables), wire and cable companies use this equipment to test the combustion performance of cables with different flame-retardant formulations, optimize material selection (such as adjusting the amount of flame retardant added), and enhance product market competitiveness.

4. Specialized Testing for Thin Wires and Cables (RSB-WC1 Applicable)
• Testing Thin Cables for Electronic Equipment: This test is designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60695-11-2:2021 for thin insulated wires (such as enameled wire with a conductor diameter less than 1mm) inside electronic instruments and communications equipment. The RSB-WC1 tests the vertical spread characteristics of thin insulated wires under a diffusion-type flame, ensuring the fire safety of internal wiring in electronic equipment.
