IEC 61032 Test Sphere Φ50 mm with Dynamometer 50N

This IEC 61032 Test Sphere (50mm) with 50N Dynamometer is a specialized safety tool designed to verify the inaccessibility of hazardous parts in electrical equipment—simulating accidental contact with large, spherical objects (e.g., body parts or debris). It features a smooth, rigid 50mm-diameter sphere (compliant with IEC 61032) paired with a precision 50N dynamometer to measure and control applied force. The sphere is made of durable, non-conductive material to avoid electrical interference, while the dynamometer ensures consistent force application. Ideal for manufacturers and labs, it strictly aligns with global safety standards to prevent equipment-related injuries.

Standards:

Specifications:
Tool Type: IEC 61032 Test Sphere (50mm) with 50N Dynamometer
Test Sphere:
– Diameter: 50mm ± 0.5mm
– Material: Non-conductive, impact-resistant plastic (avoids electrical interference)
– Surface: Smooth, burr-free (prevents enclosure damage)
Dynamometer:
– Measuring Range: 0–50N
– Accuracy: ±1N (ensures precise force control)
– Display: Clear, easy-to-read (analog or digital, per design)
Connection: Rigid rod between sphere and dynamometer (for stable force application)
Core Function: Verifies that hazardous live/mechanical parts in electrical equipment are inaccessible to a 50mm spherical object with up to 50N force

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the test sphere (no cracks/scratches) and dynamometer (calibrated, zeroed) for functionality.
2. Power on the electrical equipment and let it reach normal operating mode.
3. Attach the dynamometer to the test sphere and align the sphere with equipment openings (e.g., grilles, gaps).
4. Apply force gradually via the dynamometer, stopping at 50N if resistance is met.
5. Check if the sphere penetrates the enclosure or touches hazardous parts.
6. Record whether the equipment meets safety requirements (pass/fail).

Applications:
1. Safety testing of household appliances (e.g., washing machines, air conditioners) to block 50mm object access (IEC 60335-1:2023).
2. Compliance checks for industrial control panels (per IEC 61032:2021 Figure 6) using 50N force verification.
3. Verification of large electrical devices (e.g., commercial refrigerators) for hazardous part protection.
4. Quality control for outdoor electrical equipment (e.g., garden pumps) to prevent debris entry.
5. Post-production audits of consumer electronics (e.g., large TV enclosures) to meet IEC/UL enclosure safety standards.
