Assembly Security Test A flush receptacle having a 5-15R,5-20R,6-15R,or 6-20R configuration is to be mounted in the fixture described in Figure 118.1, and 50 lbf (220 N) is to be applied, as shown in Figure 118.2, for a period of 10 s by means of a push-out tool inserted into the slots of the receptacle. The push-out tool required for configuration 5-15R is to be as shown in Figure 118.3. The tool...
Scope This part of BS 1363 specifies requirements for 13 A fused plugs having insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins, for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The plugs are suitable for the connection of portable appliances, sound-vision equipment, luminaires, etc. in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250...
Grounding Contact Test Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R,6-15R,6-20R,7-15R,14-15R or 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 A...
SECTION NINE. GAUGES 40a. The gauges illustrated in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 in BS546 shall be considered to comply with the dimensional requirements if the results of the measured values are within the specified dimensions and the uncertainty of measurement at not less than 95% confidence level does not exceed ±0.0002in/0.005mm. 41.‘Go’gauge for plug (see Fig. 3 and Table 20). The gauge is to p...
Probe Test A tamper-resistant receptacle shall not permit contact to be made between the probe test shown in Figure 132.1 and Figure 132.2 and any live part of the receptacle through the outlet slots when tested as described in this section. Twelve previously untested devices are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in Figure 132.1 is to be applied to each of the outlet slot openings of ...
SECTION NINE. GAUGES 40a. The gauges illustrated in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 in BS546 shall be considered to comply with the dimensional requirements if the results of the measured values are within the specified dimensions and the uncertainty of measurement at not less than 95% confidence level does not exceed ±0.0002in/0.005mm. 41.‘Go’gauge for plug (see Figure. 3 and Table 20). The gauge is t...
Temperature rise Adaptors and their surroundings shall not attain excessive temperatures in normal use. Conformity shall be checked by the following tests. For adaptors with adaptor socket-outlets for BS1363 plugs, the standard test plug described in Annex G shall be used. For adaptors with adaptor socket-outlets for other plugs, e.g, those conforming to BS 546:1950, appropriate plugs fitted with ...
