IEC 60335-2-6 High-Frequency Spark Generator | 3mm Spark Length | Ignition Hazard Tester
Product Overview IEC 60335-2-6
The IEC 60335-2-6 High-Frequency Spark Generator is a precision test instrument designed specifically to verify the safety of pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens. Conforming strictly to IEC 60335-2-6 Clause 22.111 and relevant international standards, this device simulates potential ignition sources to assess whether flammable gases emitted during high-temperature cleaning cycles pose an explosion or fire risk.
This specialized generator is essential for quality assurance laboratories, compliance testing facilities, and appliance manufacturers seeking to certify the safety of their products for global markets. By generating a controlled, high-energy spark, it provides a definitive pass/fail assessment of venting system integrity under worst-case conditions.
Key Features & Applications
Ignition Hazard Simulation
The primary function of this spark generator is to evaluate whether flammable gases released from oven vents during the pyrolytic cleaning process can be ignited. It produces a consistent, high-energy spark directly at the vent outlet to determine if the concentration of combustible byproducts reaches a dangerous level. This test is critical for preventing potential oven fires and ensuring user safety.
Precision Spark Generation
-
Controlled Spark Length: Delivers a consistent spark gap of approximately 3mm, as specified by testing protocols.
-
High-Energy Discharge: Each spark carries a minimum energy of 0.5 Joules (0.5J) , sufficient to ignite flammable gas mixtures under test conditions.
-
Bipolar Output: Features bipolar output to simulate real-world ignition scenarios without polarity bias.
Robust Electrical Specifications
Engineered for reliability and repeatability, the generator operates at:
-
Peak Voltage: ±7 kV (bipolar)
-
Output Current: 40mA at 20kHz
-
Ignition Distance: Adjustable between 2-5mm, allowing technicians to fine-tune the spark gap based on specific test requirements and vent configurations.
