Plug Socket-outlet and Coupler Pendulum Impact Test Apparatus
1. Introduction
The Impact test apparatus is strictly designed according to IEC60309-1 figure 7 and annex A. it is applied to assess the mechanical strength of plug, socket-outlet and coupler. The impact test apparatus is consisted by a pivot, a tubular steel shaft, a shaft end, a hammer and four 0.25kg mass.
