IEC 61032 Test Sphere Φ50 mm with Dynamometer 50N

IEC 61032 Figure 6 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 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.

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

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