The test sequence is conducted by using a no-load, followed by a load sequence. The power factor of the load is 0.75 to 0.80.
Mechanical
Mold Stress Relief 70°C (158°F) for 7 hours.
Humidity 32°C (89.6°F), 93% humidity for 7 days (168 hours).
Cable Secureness See Table 3
Impact A device is wired with a 90" (2300mm) length of flexible cord and dropped from 30" (760mm) 8 times. The device is then conditioned for 6 hours at -25°C and immediately subjected to a repeated impact test.
Crushing 250 lbs for 1 minute. The device is then conditioned for 6 hours at -25°C and immediately subjected to a repeated crushing test.
Withdrawal Force See Table 4
Strength of Insulating Base and Support 110 of specified tightening torque on terminal screws.
Polarization Integrity Matching devices will not mate so that the ground is energized, even when polarization feature is removed and 40lb (180 N) insertion force is applied.
