Dust test for first characteristic numerals 5 and 6
IP6X
The test is made using a dust chamber. The talcum
powder used shall be able to pass through a
square-meshed sieve the nominal wire diameter of
which is 50μm and the nominal width of a gap
between wires 75μm . The amount of talcum
powder to be used is 2 kg per cubic metre of the
test chamber volume. It shall not have been
used for more than 20 tests.
Enclosures are of necessity in one of two
categories:
Category 1: Enclosures where the normal working
cycle of the equipment causes reductions in air
pressure within the enclosure below that of the
surrounding air, e.g., due to thermal cycling effects.
Category 2: Enclosures where no pressure
difference relative to the surrounding air is
present.
Category 1 enclosures:
The enclosure under test is supported inside the
test chamber and the pressure inside the enclosure
is maintained below the surrounding atmospheric
pressure by a vacuum pump. The suction
connection shall be made to a hole specially
provided for this test.
If not otherwise specified in the relevant product
standard, this hole shall he in the vicinity of
the vulnerable parts.
If it is impracticable to make a special hole, the
suction connection shall he made to the cable inlet
hole.
If there are other holes (e.g.,more cable inlet holes
or drain-holes) these shall he treated as intended
for normal use on site.
The object of the test is to draw into the
enclosure,
by means of depression, a volume of air 80 times
the volume of the sample enclosure tested without
exceeding the extraction rate of 60 volumes per
hour. In no event shall the depression exceed
2 kPa (20 mbar) on the manometer shown in
Figure 2.
If an extraction rate of 40 to 60 volumes per hour
2h
is obtained the duration of the test is 2h.
If,with a maximum depression of 2kPa(20 mbar),
the extraction rate is less than 40 volumes per
hour, the test is continued until 80 volumes have
been drawn through,or a period of 8h has elapsed.
The enclosure under test is supported in its normal
operating position inside the test chamber, but is
not connected to a vacuum pump. Any drain-hole
normally open shall be left open for the duration of
the test. The test shall he continued for a period
Of 8h.
