IEC 60335-2-75 Oven Splash Test Apparatus

IEC 60335-2-75 Splash Test Apparatus (PG-SPA)

1. Introduction

The splash test apparatus meets the requirements of IEC60335-2-75 clause 15.1.1 and figure 101, IEC60335-2-64 clause 15.1.1 and 15.1.2, IEC60335-2-26 clause 15.1.1 and figure 101, GB4706.38 and GB4706.52. The PX1, IPX2, IPX3 and IPX4 appliances (like commercial electric cooking ranges, oven, hob and hob elements) should perform the splash test for 5 min. The whole device is made of aluminum sheet, and can move freely with wheels. The nozzle, bowl and hose are made of stainless steel, and equip with pressure gauge to real time to display the water pressure.  

The water pressure is so regulated that water splashed up 150mm above the bottom of the bowl. The bowl is placed on the floor for appliances normally used on the floor. For all other appliances, on a horizontal support 50mm below the lowest edge of the appliance, the bowl is so moved around as to splash the appliance from all directions. Care is taken that the appliance is not hit by the direct jet. The splash test lasts for 5min.

2. Application

Simulate the posture of water splashing from the ground to the base of electrical products when raindrops fall on the ground. It is applied to test the water resistance performance of the bottom of household electrical appliances like  electric food processing machinery, electric stoves, washing machines and others.
