Rain test system installed

A rain test system was installed at Izolyator plant. It is a crucial element for conducting experiments with electric equipment in conditions of rain and high humidity.

Rain tests of electric products are carried out as a part of certification or other standardized tests and also during pre-production stage as a part of decision-making and compliance-checking procedures.

The system allows testing of equipment of various dimensions under various conditions that meet the requirements of GOST R 55194-2012 (IEC 60060-1), namely it provides:

• steady rain falling on a working product at an angle of 45° to the horizontal;
• rain intensity 1.0 ... 2.0 mm/min;
• water resistivity 100±15 µS/cm at a temperature of 20 °С.
