I. In case that the voltage is applied to the space distance of the secondary

circuit :

- DC current includes the peak value of the superposed ripple.

- In case of non-sine wave, use the peak value.

J. In case that voltage is applied to creepage distance :

- Use actual rms value or DC value.

- In case that DC value is used, the superposed ripple is disregarded.

- The condition of short time (ex : call signal of TNV circuit) is disregarded.

K. In case that voltage is appled to the withstanding voltage test :

Except that insulation is inspected by other method as functional insulation

on the basis of Clause 2.2.6 of Technical Standard, measure and record the

voltages of the rms values (true rms) and peak values regarding all points

that insulation is required.

For example : Both ends of all parts which are close to primary circuit and

a ground, all parts and insulation which isolate primary circuit

from secondary circuit. (For example : In case of a transformer,

voltage is measured regarding all combination of primary pins

and secondary pins.)

Description on the application of operating voltage

The voltage of ELV and SELV circuit should be considered if operating voltageregarding a creepage distance is decided. But these are ignored if operating voltageregarding space distance and withstanding voltage are decided.

Discharge through space depends on maximum voltage value (peak value). Short spacedistance can cause flashover when transient voltage is generated. The repetitive peakvalue is considered in Table 4 of Technical Standard. Creepage distance should not beshorter than space distance. Creepage distance depends on the voltage which showsskin effect for a long time. Accordingly, creepage distance depends on DC voltage andrms voltage, and is not affected by transient voltage and instant peak voltage.

Minimum operating voltage of a circuit

Nominal power source voltage is used for minimum operating voltage to decidegrounding with primary circuit or non-grounded metallic part, creepage distancebetween secondary circuits, or space distance and withstanding voltage test voltage.

For example, the above regulation is applied because a phase line and a neutral lineare connected crossly due to a socket outlet for a home, which wires are connectedwrongly, or terminals for power connection which are provided without polarity mark.

Actually, a neutral line is regarded as a phase line when accessibility to a switchingpower source and a space distance are decided.

Operating voltage between primary and secondary

When creepage distance between a point of primary circuit and a point of secondarycircuit is decided, the voltage between a point of primary circuit and a point ofsecondary circuit should be considered instead of maximum primary voltage which canbe generated between 2 points of primary circuit. For example, voltage differencebetween the collector of a switching transistor and (-)DC rail can be up to maximum 2times of the voltage between (+)DC rail and (-)DC rail. But, this voltage is not usedwhen creepage distance between primary circuit and secondary circuit is decided.Intension of this measurement is to find actual voltage that insulation system can coverfor the ground.In creepage distance between a collector and secondary circuit, or between otherarbitrary points of primary circuit and secondary circuit, rms (true rms) voltage betweenthese points should be used.

In case of space distance, additional space distance of Table 4 in Technical Standardbased on maximum repetitive peak voltage should be added to the space distancepresented in Table 3 of Technical Standard.

Measuring instrument

In measuring rms voltage, a measuring instrument should be able to measure rms valueof sine wave and non-sine wave and should be suitable for high frequency of aswitching power supply.

Frequency Bandwidth : At least over 5 times of switching frequencyMemory of Oscilloscope : Minimum 3 cycles of the input voltage.Crest factor : Maximum peak value measuring capability = Maximum voltage measuring

8. Ground continuity test

8.1 Corresponding Clause of Technical Standard : 2.5

8.2 Purpose of test

To decide the suitability of protecting ground used for an equipment.

8.3 Test instruments

A. AC or DC power supply of 0-12V, 0-25A

B. True rms voltmeter, ammeters

C. a connecting cable and connecting terminals

D. Or an integrated ground continuity test instrument which integrates all of

above items

8.4 Test method and procedure

A. Apply test current between the point which a grounded parts can be

activated electrically by breakdown of primary insulation and a protecting

ground terminal or a protecting ground contact.

B. Apply 1.5 times of current capacity of a certain hazard voltage circuit at the

point where the grounded part can be activated electrically in breakdown of

primary insulation. However, test voltage should not exceed 12 V, and test

current should not exceed maximum 25 A whether it is AC or DC.

Page 30: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)24

Description

In the above B. item, current capacity depends on fuse etc. of primary power supplymostly. For example, if a main fuse of 1 A is used, the current capacity of the circuitcan be regarded as 1 A. In the figure as shown blow;

Secondarycircuit

Primarycircuit

Fuse (F1, 1A)

Ground

(Fig. 8-1) Test position of ground continuity

If L1 is a phase line and L2 is a neutral line and the plug in use is not the inversiontype, 1.5 times of current capacity can be regarded as 1.5A. However, if the plug isthe inversion type and both of L1 and L2 are phase lines, current capacity should notbe decided by F1, but is decided by an over current protecting device of buildingcabling. Generally, 15 AFMF is used as an over current protecting device in buildingcabling. As 15A × 1.5 times is 22.5A, it is the basis that maximum test current ofTechnical Standard is decided as 15A.

Accordingly, in case of an equipment which uses a plug of the inversion type or isconnected to a power source that a phase line and a neutral line are not discriminatedclearly, if fuses are not used in L1 or L2, test current of 25A should be used.

In the above figure, if a protecting ground is used to A point, primary insulation isenough for a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. To regard A point as a protectingground, the resistance of a grounding conductor should be less than 0.1 when 25 AΩis applied between "ground" and A point.

Generally, as A point include secondary windings of a transformer, it is hard to pass 25A test. Accordingly, in most cases, the test is done by regarding B or C point only asprotecting grounds and a reinforcing insulation is done for primary and secondarycircuits and a primary insulation is done between primary circuit and ground.

Page 31: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)25

C. Measure the voltage difference of both ends in state that 1.5 times of

current capacity or 25A is applied between end ports which are to be used

as a ground and a protecting ground, and convert it into resistance.

D. No comment is made about a test time, however, generally the test is done

on the basis of 1 minute.

Note

1) In measuring a resistance value, the resistance value of a conductor for

protecting ground of a power cord is not included.

2) In case of an equipment which is connected to a partial assembly or a

separated equipment for protecting ground by using a wire of a multi-core

cable which supplies power to a partial assembly or an equipment, the

resistance value of a wire for protecting ground of a multi-core cable is not

included. However, the wire should be protected with a protecting device with

proper rating in consideration of impedance of a wire.

3) Attention should be paid so that the contact resistance between the end of a

probe for measurement and a metal part under test does not affect the test

result.

8.5 Decision of suitability

The resistance value between a ground contact point or a grounding terminal

and a part which needs grounding should not exceed 0.1 .Ω

8.6 Preparation of test certificate

Record the measured part, test current, and the measured resistance value in

Clause 2.5.11 of test certificate form, and record the decision of "pass" or

"rejected". In case of an complicate equipment which has a lot of measuring

points, record the detailed data by using "Note#" format.

which does not flow for over 60 seconds, and disregard the transient value

which stays at less than 100 ms in case of VA measurement.

(Calculate current Isc which can flow at maximum and maximum VA.)

test regulated in Clause 15, 17 of IEC 730-1 and Clause J15, J17 of IEC

730-1.

D. An over-current protecting device is used, and the output is limited so as to

be suitable to Table 9. of Technical Standard.

Page 52: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)46

B. Install a thermocouple in a necessary point including the points described

in the above A. item.

(It is desirable to measure the temperature of a coil with a thermocouple in

case of a switching power supply (SMPS), and with resistance tester in

case of a linear type.)

How to use a thermocouple

A thermocouple should not be jointed by twisting or soldering, but should be welded,①

and should not be twisted on bead.

Welding : good Welding : no good Soldering : no good

How to attach to a part is to fix with a tape at a point 1 cm apart from the end and②

then apply sauresin cement (mixed with water glass and kaolin powder at the ratio of

5 to 1) and wait until it is set.

Page 53: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)47

How to select a thermocouple:③

- T type : Suitable to low temperature, especially to use in sub-zero temperature.

- J type : Unsuitable in test of high frequency magnetic component (error: ±5-10 )

- K type : Suitable in test of high frequency magnetic component (possible to

replace with N-couple)

- E type : Non-magnetic (possible to replace in case that K-couple shows the

influence of magnetic effect)

How to attach thermocouple :④

- 130 : Glass fibre cloth tape (3M/No. 27 tape)~

-130 250 : Epoxy/Cyanoacrylate adhesive(Be careful because thermal conductivity~

is low.)

- High temperature (1100 ~) : Sauresin cement (good thermal conductivity, but

inconvenient to use)

C. Connect an equipment to power and start operation normally. At this

moment, In case that there are extra slots or ports or terminals for external

power supply, test in the state that a load is applied according to the

specification presented by a manufacturer.

(Regarding the condition of normal operating, refer to Appendix L of

technical standard and the measurement of T2 input rating in this

procedure.)

D. An equipment which is installed as a part of a built-in equipment, a

rack-mount equipment or a big equipment is tested in the mostly

disadvantageous condition (actual state or sham state) allowed in the

installation manual from the manufacturer.

E. Regarding voltage applying to an equipment, the test is done at -10 % and

+6 % of the rated voltage respectively.

F. The test time is as follows.

- In case of an equipment which works continuously, test until it reaches

the stable state.

Page 54: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)48

- In case of an interruptively operating equipment, test until it reaches the

stable state by repeating "start" and "stop" in accordance with the time of

"start" and "stop".

- In case of an equipment which works for a short time, test for the defined

operating time.

The state of the stable temperature means that the temperature is kept for

over 15 minutes.

If an equipment reaches the stable state, stop the test and record the final

temperature.

G. In case that the temperature is measured by a resistance tester.

- To minimize measurement error by conductors except a winding, the

conductor for measurement of an instrument should have the proper

diameter, and the measuring point should be close to an inlet port of a

winding excluding a power cord and other wires.

Measuring pointMeasuring point

(Fig. 16-1) Measuring point by a resistance tester

- Error would be small if the temperature of a winding which has higher

resistance of primary and secondary windings is measured.

Page 55: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)49

Notice

When a thermocouple is attached to a part, attention should be paid so that the①thermocouple does not contact any conductor which has potential. (It can be amajor cause of the electric shock of a human body or trouble of an equipment. Andif even very low current flows through the thermocouple, wave form which is notexpected would show on a recording paper.)

In case of measurement of current leakage or test of withstanding voltage, a②thermocouple should be removed.(major cause of trouble of an equipment).

Matters to be attended in the test of a switching power supply (SMPS) : As error③between an actual value and an measured value can be caused by magneticinfluence from a magnetic part (ex : transformer) of a switching power supply, iftemperature is stable, turn off the power and measure the temperature again andcheck the temperature difference with the one when power was applied.

In case of an equipment which has a cooling fan, attention should be paid so that④the part which a thermocouple is attached is not cooled by the cooling fan.

16.5 Decision of suitability

A. An over current protecting device should not work during test, and sealing

material should not flow out.

B. If an operating temperature of an equipment by a manufacturer is over 25

, the allowable temperature rise value can be changed on the basis of

the following formula.

T - Tamb Tmax + 25 - Tmra≤

T = Temperature of the corresponding part measured under the regulated

test condition

Tmra = The higher temperature of maximum ambient temperature presented

by the manufacturer or 25

Page 56: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)50

Accordingly, if an operating temperature is defined as 0-35 in a user

manual or a document which is provided with an equipment, maximum

allowable temperature rise value is 10 lower than the allowable

temperature regulated in the following table. (The test under 35 is not

needed, and it can be reduced after testing in general environment. And, in

any case, the test should not be done at a temperature higher than the

regulated operating temperature.)

C. The temperature of parts contacting an electric wire should be less than a

rated temperature value of the wire.

D. The measured temperature should not exceed the allowable temperature rise

value in Table 16 of Technical Standard.

Conditions which can be applied to (1) and (2) of Table 16.

1) In case of measuring the temperature rise of coils by using a thermocouple, the

value which is 10 K lower than the value of this clause is applied. However, a

motor is excluded.

2) Insulation class of an insulating materials (A, E, B, F and H class) should comply

with IEC 85.

3) Because there are many kinds of thermoplastic material, it is impossible to regulate

the allowable temperature rise value of them.

Thermoplastic materials should be suitable to the tests regulated in Clause 5.4.10.

4) The allowable temperature rise value of the outside of an equipment that the

dimension is less than 50 and there is no possibility to be contacted during

operation is 75 K.

5) Regarding each material, if there are data to decide the allowable temperature rise

value, it should be decided by studying the data.

6) If conditions as follows are satisfied, the temperature higher than the allowable

temperature rise value can be acceptable.

- If there is no possibility to contact the part by chance.

- If the warning mark of high temperature is on the corresponding part, it is allowed to

use the symbol of Fig. 5041 of IEC 417.

7) In case that the long term use is considered, in some sorts of insulating materials,

if softner is vaporized at lower temperature than usual softening temperature,

attention should be paid about that electrical and mechanical property can be

deteriorated by it. Refer to Clause 2.2.2.

Page 59: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)53

E. Even in case that an equipment is installed in a place where access is

restricted, the limit value of the allowable temperature rise regulated in items

1 and 2 of Table 16 of Technical Standard is applied. However, if an

external metal part plays the role of a heat sink plate obviously or it has a

warning mark which can be checked visually, the temperature rise up to

65K is allowed.

F. In case that a coil is measured by a resistance tester, the temperature is

calculated by the following formulas.

t=(R2-R1)/R1×(234.5+t1)-(t2-t1) : In case of a copper wire

t=(R2-R1)/R1×(225+t1)-(t2-t1) : In case of aluminium wire

17.4 Test method and procedure

Leakage current can be measured by an instrument described in Appendix

D. of Technical Standard or by consisting of the circuit which the equivalent

result can be achieved. As an equipment of Appendix D is classical, a

measuring circuit as shown in the following figure can be used in a

switching power supply part which works in high frequency on the basis of

IEC 990.

General

1) A system of interconnecting equipments connected to power individually is

tested respectively for each equipment, and a system as an interconnecting

equipment which all is connected to power commonly by connecting one to

power is regarded as one equipment.

Page 62: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)56

2) An equipment which can use multiple power sources is tested by

connecting to one power source.

3) By studying the circuit diagram of first class equipment as an eternal

connecting equipment or B type plug connecting equipment, in case of an

equipment whose ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA but obviously

does not exceed 5 % of input current, test is not necessary.

4) It is desirable that voltage applied to an equipment during the test is

applied through an isolation transformer. If it is impossible to install an

isolation transformer, an equipment should be installed on an insulated plate

and is not connected to ground, and safety treatment should be done so

that hazard voltage is not applied to a body of an equipment.

5) In case of an equipment of class II, a metal foil of 10 cm × 20 cm

contacted to a conductor part and non-conductor part which a user can

access is tested. If the area of a metal foil is smaller than the surface area

of EUT, the metal foil should be moved so as to test all surface area of

EUT. If a metal foils are jointed by using glue, the glue should be

conductive.

6) In applying voltage in test, the test is done in -10 % and +6 % of the

rated voltage or in the most disadvantageous one of the rated input voltage

range.

2) When a select switch of 1) item is at each position, the switch used

usually as the one installed in an equipment which turns on and off primary

power is tested at the positions of all combination of on and off if

possible.

3) Set the range of a leakage current meter to the area of AC+DC and

measure the most precise value by gradually lowering the range.

18. Electric strength test

18.1 Corresponding Clause of Technical Standard : 5.3

18.2 Purpose of test

To inspect suitability of the used insulation.

18.3 Test instruments

A. Withstanding voltage tester : 0-5000V ac and dc, 60 or equivalents

B. Withstanding voltage tester for high voltage

C. Metal foil

D. Insulating table

18.4 Test method and procedure

A. Test it in state that an equipment is sufficiently warmed up just after a

temperature rise test.

B. In case of testing it separately after separating a part or a partial assembly

from an equipment, test it after warming up the parts or the partial

assembly as hot as it was warmed up in temperature rise test.

C. In case of thin film insulation by using supplementary insulation or

reinforced insulation regulated in Clause 2.9.4.2 of Technical Standard, the

test can be done in room temperature.

D. Test is done to inspect the suitability regarding all insulation required in

Technical Standard, and the kind of insulation to be applied is as shown in

Table 0.1.

Page 67: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)61

E. Test is done with the values regulated in Table 18 of Technical Standard,

and a operating voltage (U) is the value which is measured at both ends of

the measured insulating part in measurement of T6 operating voltage.

F. Apply voltage to the insulation and increase from 0 gradually, and apply the

regulated voltage for 60 seconds during the test.

G. In case of testing insulation coating, test it after attaching metal foil of the

surface of insulator. This method is applied to the a part only where

insulation can be weakened such as the part which has sharp and metallic

edge at the bottom of an insulator. If possible, test an insulating lining

separately. In case of attaching metal foil, pay attention so that flashover

will not be generated in the end of an insulator. In case of using metal foil

joined with glue, the glue should be conductive.

H. In an equipment which is using the reinforced insulation or the insulation

lower than it, attention should be paid so that over voltage is not applied to

the primary insulation and supplementary insulation by the voltage applied to

the reinforced insulation.

I. Equipotential wiring can be used by cutting the similar parts which are in a

integrated circuit or a secondary circuit to prevent the breakdown of

insulation or a part with no relation to the test.

J. If a capacitor is connected at both ends of an insulating part, it is

desirable to use DC test voltage. In case of using DC voltage, it is 2√

times of the regulated DC value.

K. Test is done after cutting the parts, such as the device of restricting

resistor or voltage for discharging of filtering capacitor, which provide DC

path in parallel with the tested insulation part.

18.5 Decision of suitability

A. Insulation breakdown should not be caused during the test.

B. When test voltage is applied, if current increases rapidly beyond control,

that is, if insulation can not limit the current to less than certain value, it is

regarded as insulation breakdown. Corona discharge or instant flashover is

not regarded as insulation breakdown.

C. A withstanding voltage tester has a function of cut-off current setting. Set

cut-off current to the low current of 5 mA and conduct the test when

applying initial test voltage. If N.G. happens in this current, apply test

voltage by gradually increasing the current again (ex: 5 TM10TM20TM100

). If N.G. happens even in the range of maximum current, it is regarded

that insulation breakdown happens.

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)68

D. Electric and mechanical part : The following tests are applied for the

electric parts, which may involve some risk, except the motor in the

secondary circuit.

Interrupt a mechanical operating part at a most disadvantageous①

position in state that power is applied to a part in normal state.

In case of a part which power is applied to intermittently, continue to②

apply power to the part after causing a trouble to a driving circuit.

Test time :③

- If the trouble state of an equipment or a part is obviously not

notified to a user: The shorter time of the time until normal state is

reached and the time until a circuit is broken as the result that

trouble state is simulated.

- Other equipment or part : The shorter time of 5 minutes and the

time until a circuit is broken as the result that trouble of a part(ex:

wire break) or trouble state is simulated.

E. Regarding other part and circuit except the above item, conduct the test

according to the methods as follows.

Simulate the following trouble state.①

- Trouble of an arbitrary part used in primary circuit.

- Trouble of a part which can cause bad influence on supplementary

insulation and reinforced insulation due to trouble.

- Trouble of all parts regarding an equipment which is not suitable to

Clause 4.4.2. and 4.4.3 of Technical Standard.

- Trouble caused by connecting a load impedance which is mostly

disadvantageous to a terminal where output power or signal output

comes from the equipment, and to a connecting device (except an

outlet for power).

Page 75: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)69

If several outlets are connected to an internal circuit, the test can be②

done for only one outlet.

In case of a part used in a primary circuit integrated with a power③

such as a power cord, a connecting device for an equipment, a part

for EMC filter, a switch, and a wire interconnecting between

equipments, the trouble state is not simulated if creepage distance and

space distance regarding functional insulation are suitable.

Test can be done by using an actual circuit used in an equipment or④

a simulation circuit, and test can be done by separating a part or a

partial assembly from an equipment.

Test is done in all state expected during usual test and in state of the⑤

expected misuse.

Regarding an equipment with an additional protecting cover, test is⑥

done until normal state is reached after fixing the cover at right

position in state of normal no-load.

F. As an equipment operated with no operator, test as follows is done to an

equipment with an automatic temperature controller, a temperature limiter,

over heat preventing device, or an equipment with a capacitor which is not

protected with a fuse connected to a contact in parallel.

- An automatic temperature controller, a temperature limiter, or over heat

preventing device : T40. Temperature controller test should be satisfied.

- Operate the equipment in the condition regulated in temperature rise

test, and then short the temperature limiting device. In case of an

equipment with over 2 of automatic temperature controllers, temperature

limiters, or over heat preventing devices, short the devices one by one.

- In case that the current is not cut off, turn off the equipment as soon

as it reaches the stable state and cool it down to room temperature.

Page 76: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)70

- Test time of an equipment with the rating of short time operation is

same as the rated operating time.

- In case of an equipment with short time operation or rating of

interruptive operation, repeat the test until it reaches to the stable state

regardless of rated operating time. In this test, do not short an

automatic temperature controller, a temperature limiter, or over heat

preventing device.

- During any test as mentioned above, in case that the current is

interrupted before an equipment reaches stable state by operation of an

over heat protecting device of manual reset type or by other method,

operating time continues to that time. However, in case that the current

is interrupted by bursting at a part which is weakened intensionally,

repeat the test with another EUT. Both of the 2 tests should satisfy the

condition regulated in standard of suitability.

Example of test part for short/open in general

Rectifier, diode, transistors, triacs, SCR junctions, integrated circuit pin, EL-capacitors.

(Fig. 19-1) Example of abnormal state test

19.5 Decision of suitability

A. The temperature of a transformer providing power to a part under test

should not exceed the value regulated in Appendix C1 of Technical

Standard, and in this case, exceptional items regulated in Clause C2 should

be considered.

B. In case that fire breaks out, flame should not be expanded out of the

equipment.

Page 78: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)72

C. Melted metal should not flow out of the equipment.

D. There should not be transformation of an equipment which does not satisfy

protection of user access area, regulation on ground, space distance, and

requirements for stability and mechanical hazard.

E. Regarding an equipment which is not suitable to Clause 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 of

Technical Standard, when the test is done in state of trouble of all parts, in

case of an equipment which does not satisfy Clause 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, as

other regulation is not made, the temperature rise of insulation materials

except thermoplastic materials should be less than 125 K in case A class

insulator, 140 K in case of E class, 150 K in case of B class, 165 K in

case of F class, and 185 K in case of H class.

F. Regarding above E. item, although bad insulation is caused, in case that an

user can not access the part where hazard voltage is applied to or the part

where hazard energy exists, the high limit of the insulator can be regulated

as less than 300 . In case of glass or ceramic materials, it can be regulated

as higher.

G. After each abnormal state test is done, conduct withstanding voltage test

regarding the following parts.

- Reinforced insulation : Or

- Primary insulation or supplementary insulation forming dual insulation; or

- Primary insulation installed between a primary circuit of 1 class equipment

connecting to A type plug and a conductive part which a user can

access : Or

- In case that space distance or creepage distance decreases to less than

the value regulated in Clause 2.9 of Technical Standard : Or

- In case of that damage, which can be checked visually, happens in

insulating part : Or

- In case that the insulating part can not be inspected.

Measure coil temperature by using a thermocouple or a resistance tester.③

In case of a thermocouple, attach it on the coil surface of a motor.

Measure the temperature when test for regulated time is completed, and

in other case, measure the temperature when temperature is stable, or

when fuse, overheat preventing device, or motor protecting device works.

In case of an impedance protecting motor which is sealed totally,④

measure the temperature by attaching a thermocouple to the housing of

a motor.

In case of testing a motor without a proper thermal protecting device in⑤

the simulated condition, correct the measured coil temperature in

consideration of the ambient temperature (measured during the

temperature rise test of Clause 5.1) at the point that a motor is usually

installed in an equipment.

In measurement of temperature, arithmetic average temperature should⑥

be calculated as follows.

While power of a motor is turned on and off repeatedly, draw the graph

of temperature and time for the corresponding test time, and the

arithmetic average temperature ( ) is :

; -average of maximum values, - average of

C. B.4 Overload operating test

Run a motor under normal load.①

While keeping the initial voltage applied to a motor, increase load②

gradually so that current increases step by step.

After reaching normal state, increase load again. In this way, increase③

load step by step until an overload protecting device works. However, at

this time, a rotor should not be in restraint state.

Measure and record the temperature of a motor coil for the stable cycle④

as shown in the above figure.

D. B.5 Rotor restraint overload test

Conduct a rotor restraint test at ambient temperature as room①

temperature.

Test time is as follows :②

- In case of a motor protected by proper impedance or external impedance,

run under the state of motor restraint for 18 days. However, when the

temperature of a motor coil, which is open type or sealed totally, reaches

a certain value, if it is lower than the value regulated in Clause 5.1 of

Technical Standard regarding the insulation system in use, the test can be

stopped at the time.

- If a motor has a protecting device of automatic reset type, run a motor

under the state of rotor restraint for 18 days.

- If a motor has a protecting device of manual reset type, run a motor

under the state of rotor restraint 60 times repeatedly. In this case, if a

protecting device works, reset it immediately. (However, it should be over

30 seconds.)

Page 150: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1(2004.12)144

- If a motor has a protecting device without reset function, run until t device

works.

Record temperature at regular interval for the first 3 days in case of a③

motor protected by proper or external impedance or a motor with a

protecting device of automatic reset type, during first 10th running in

case of a motor with a protecting device of manual reset type, or until

the protecting device works in case of a motor with a protecting device

without reset function.

Reference - Testing a protecting device of automatic reset type

continuously for over 72 hours and testing a protecting device

of manual reset type for over 10 times are to check if the

protecting device have the capability to interrupt the rotor

restraint

E. B.6 Overload operating test of a D.C. motor used in a secondary circuit

If it is expected that there is possibility of overload by inspection or as①

the result of checking the structure, conduct the overload operating test.

In case of the structure where the driving current is kept constant by an

electronic driving circuit, the test is not required.

Test by running a motor at the running voltage under normal load, and②

while keeping initial voltage applying to a motor, increase load gradually

so that current increases step by step. If it reaches normal state,

increase load again. In this way, increase load step by step until an

overload protecting device works or a coil is broken.

When temperature is constant at each step, measure the temperature of a③

motor coil.

Page 151: TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof InformationTechnologyEquipment TTAStandard Enactedon:31Dec.1998 TTAS.KO-09.0018/R1 Revisedon:23Dec.2004 TestMethodforElectricalSafetyof informationTechnologyEquipment

If it is not easy to measure exact temperature because a motor is small④

and its structure is not general, instead of measuring temperature,

checking the possibility of ignition by covering a motor with a layer of

cotton cloth of around 40g/ during the overload running test can be

substituted.

F. B7. A rotor restraint overload test of a D.C. motor used in a secondary

circuit.

A motor should satisfy the test of the following item . However, if it is① ③

not easy to measure exact temperature because a motor is small and its

structure is not general, the test method of following item can be④

conducted instead of item . Either one of the 2 tests should be done.③

If the running voltage of a motor exceeds peak voltage of 42,4V or D.C.②

60V, conduct the corresponding test of item or item , and then cool→ ↓

down the motor to room temperature. Conduct withstanding voltage test,

and the motor should be suitable to this test. In this case, test voltage

should be 0.6 times of the regulated value.

Apply running voltage to a motor and in state that a rotor is restrained,③

run the motor for the longer time of 7 hours time and the time that the

motor reaches normal state.

Install a motor on the lumber covered with a layer of the wrapping foil,④

and then cover the motor with a layer of a cotton cloth of around 40g/ .

Note - The wrapping foil is defined in ISO standard 4046 as follows.

"Wrapping paper should be a soft and light one used for

packing or wrapping of a gift to protect an article mostly

requiring handling with care and the weight should be 12 g/ to

30 g/ ."

state of short circuit in trouble, the short circuit test of the capacitor is

not required.

H. B.9 A 3-phase motor

In case of a 3-phase motor, apply a normal load in state that a phase①

is not connected. However, if a motor is designed so that power can

not be applied to it by a circuit control device in state that even 1

phase is opened, this test is not required.

To check the influence by other load or a circuit inside of an equipment,②

in some case, the test for a motor can be done inside of an equipment

by opening each phase of 3-phase power in turn.

I. B.10 Test of a series motor
