Product No: SMT-IP30T
This 2.5mm diameter steel rod with a 3N dynamometer is a critical tool for safety and IP protection testing of electrical appliances. Designed to simulate tool access, it verifies protection against electric shock and access to hazardous parts, aligning with global safety standards. It features a rigid steel probe, a 35mm circular baffle for stable positioning, and an insulating handle (10mm diameter, 100mm length) for easy operation. The built-in dynamometer ensures precise 3N thrust application, making it essential for IP3X compliance and safety checks across appliances, luminaires, and electronics.

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the steel rod for damage (e.g., bent probe, faulty dynamometer).
2. Position the circular baffle against the equipment enclosure’s surface.
3. Align the steel rod with enclosure openings and apply steady 3N thrust via the dynamometer.
4. Check if the rod can reach hazardous parts inside the enclosure.
5. Record whether the enclosure meets IP3X or safety access requirements (pass/fail).
Applications:
1. IP3X protection testing of household appliance enclosures (e.g., blenders, toasters) per IEC 60529:2021.
2. Safety verification of audio/video equipment (e.g., speakers, TVs) to block access to live parts (IEC 60065:2021).
3. Access protection checks for luminaire housings (e.g., ceiling lights) per IEC 60598-1:2020.
4. Compliance testing of industrial control panels to prevent tool access to hazardous components (IEC 61032:2021).
