PVC PLUG 2.1 Appearance There shall be no damage shown on the surface of the plug. 2.2 Insulation Resistance Shall not be less than 500M at 20C, 500V DC. 2.3 Dielectric Strength It shall withstand 2000V AC applied between the conductors for 1 minute without breakdown. 2.4 Load Test 1. Flexible Cord Anchorage Test Each blade shall be capable of withstanding a straight pull of 11.22KGF (110 1N) over a period of 10 seconds. The pull shall be increased uniformly to the appropriate value, maintained at that value for a further 10 seconds and then released. This test shall be performed three times. 2. Fixing of Blade A specimen of the plug shall be heated to a temperature of 50C 20C for 1 hour and each blade of the plug shall not be displaced more than 2.38mm when a force of 6.12KGF (60 0.6N) is applied to the blade for 10 minutes. The direction of the force shall be along the length of the blade towards and away from the body of the plug. 2.5 Flexing Test The specimen shall not show any damage in appearance and not more than 10% of the strands of each conductor shall be broken after the following test. The oscillating member shall be moved through an angle of 90 (45 on either side of the vertical), the number of flexes being 1000 and the rate of flexing 60 per minute. A flexing is a movement in one direction. The cord 2 shall be loaded with a weight of 10N, for a nominal area of 0.75mm 20N for 2 a nominal area of 1.0mm . For a circular-section cord, the oscillating member shall be turned through 90 after 5000 times. 20/01/200920/01/200920/01/200920/01/200920/01/200920/01/200920/01/200920/01/20092:01:24 PM2 Page 2 of 4 www.accesscomms.com.au/specs/k3745spec.pdf Copyright 2009 Access Communications Pty Ltd
