DIN-VDE 0620-1-Lehre 13 Prüfung der Nichtberührbarkeit von aktiven Teilen durch die Shutter hindurch und von aktiven Teilen von Steckdosen mit höherem Schutzgrad

This DIN-VDE 0620-1-Lehre 13 Prüfung der Nichtberührbarkeit von aktiven Teilen durch die Shutter hindurch und von aktiven Teilen von Steckdosen mit höherem Schutzgrad is specifically engineered to test the non-accessibility of live parts in sockets—both through the shutters and in sockets with a higher degree of protection—aligning with the rigorous requirements of the DIN VDE 0620 series standards. It acts as an essential safety verification tool for fixed sockets used in household and similar applications, ensuring that live components remain inaccessible to prevent electrical shocks and other potential hazards.

Specifications:
• Complies with DIN VDE 0620-1 and DIN VDE 0620-2-1:2021-02 standards
• Material: Rigid steel wire (Starrer Stahldraht)
• Dimensions: ø50, ø30, ø1+0.015
• Radius specification: R=0.05
• Calibration force: 1 N applied along the axis of the rigid steel wire
• Force requirement: Minimum 1 N must be maintained during testing
• Reference planes: A-A’ and B-B’ (for calibration alignment)

Test Procedures:
• Calibrate the gauge first: Apply a 1 N force along the axis of the rigid steel wire to ensure the A-A’ plane aligns practically with the B-B’ plane, confirming the inner spring’s characteristic meets requirements.
• Prepare the socket under test, ensuring it is in a normal, unused state and meets the higher protection degree criteria as specified.
• Position the gauge correctly relative to the socket’s shutter and live part areas in accordance with standard guidelines.
• Apply a force of at least 1 N to the gauge during the test process, as required.
• Attempt to access the socket’s live parts through the shutters using the gauge.
• Verify the non-accessibility of live parts in the higher protection degree socket with the gauge.
• Record the test result; the socket passes if no access to live parts is achieved.

Applications:
• Safety testing of fixed household sockets to verify shutter effectiveness and live part inaccessibility.
• Compliance verification for sockets with a higher degree of protection in commercial or industrial settings.
• Quality control inspections in socket manufacturing plants to ensure product safety compliance.
• Conformity assessment by certification bodies and third-party testing laboratories.
• R&D and design validation for socket manufacturers optimizing shutter mechanisms or protection features.
• Routine safety audits for electrical equipment in residential, commercial, or public facilities.
