For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Ab and Ad do n
24、ot deviate essentially from earlier issues. Test Ae has been added primarily for testing equipment that requires being operational throughout the test, including the conditioning periods. The object of the cold test is limited to the determination of the ability of components, equipment or other art
25、icles to be used, transported or stored at low temperature. Cold tests cover by this standard do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14. The cold tests are subdivided as f
26、ollows: Cold tests for non heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Ab; Cold test for heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Ad, with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Ae. The procedures given in this standard are normally inten
27、ded for specimens that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. Temperature chamber(s) are constructed and verified in accordance with specifications IEC 60068-3-5 and IEC 60068-3-7. Further guidance for dry heat and cold tests can be found in IEC 60068-3-1 and gen

32、. 3.1 low air velocity in the working space velocity of conditioning airflow within a working space which is sufficient to maintain conditions but low enough so that the temperature at any point on the test specimen is not reduced by more than 5 K by the influence of the circulation of the air (if p
33、ossible, not more than 0,5 m/s) 3.2 high air velocity in the working space velocity of conditioning airflow within a working space, which in order to maintain conditions, also reduces the temperature at any point on the test specimen by more than 5 K by the influence of the circulation of the air 4
34、Application of tests for non heat-dissipating specimens versus tests for heat-dissipating specimens 4.1 General A specimen is considered to be heat-dissipating only if the hottest point on its surface, measured in free air conditions (i.e. with low air velocity circulation), is more than 5 K above t
35、he ambient temperature of the surrounding atmosphere after temperature stability has been reached (see 4.8 of IEC 60068-1). When the relevant specification calls for a storage or transportation test, or does not specify an applied load during the test, the Cold Test Ab will apply. 4.2 Ascertaining h
36、igh or low air velocity in the test chamber Under standard atmospheric conditions for measurements and test (see IEC 60068-1) with an air velocity 0,2 m/s achieved without induced air movement, the specimen shall be switched on or electrically loaded as specified for the low temperature at which the
37、 test is to be carried out. When temperature stability of the specimen has been reached, the temperature of a number of representative points around or on the specimen shall be measured using a suitable monitoring device. The temperature rise that occurs at each point shall then be noted. 7 EN 60068
38、-2-1:2007The chamber is switched on and, once temperature stability has been achieved, the temperature of the representative points shall again be measured. If the temperatures differ from those measured without air flow by more than 5 K (or a value stated by the relevant specification) this value s
39、hall be noted in the test report and the test chamber is considered to have high velocity circulation. The specimen is then switched off and any loading conditions removed. 4.3 Non heat-dissipating specimens In Test Ab with gradual change of temperature, the specimen is introduced into the test cham
40、ber, the latter being at the laboratory temperature. The temperature in the chamber is then reduced gradually so as to cause no detrimental effects on the test specimen due to the temperature change. High air velocity is recommended as this will reduce the time required for temperature stabilization
41、. 4.4 Testing of heat-dissipating specimens Tests Ad and Ae describe procedures for testing heat-dissipating specimens with low air velocity circulation. This is to allow localized hot spots to develop within the specimen similar to those that would appear in installed applications. 4.5 Temperature
42、monitoring The air temperature in the chamber shall be measured by temperature sensors located at such a distance from the specimen that the effect of the dissipation is negligible. Suitable precautions shall be taken to avoid heat radiation affecting these measurements. For more information see IEC
43、 60068-3-5. 4.6 Packaging For storage and transportation tests, equipment may be tested with its packaging in place. However, as these tests are steady-state tests, the equipment will eventually stabilize at chamber temperature. Packaging shall be removed unless the relevant specification requires i
44、t to remain in place, or heating elements are incorporated in the package. 4.7 Diagrammatic representations To facilitate the choice of test method, a diagrammatic representation of the various procedures is given in Figure 1. 8 EN 60068-2-1:2007Tests A: Cold Heat dissipating?

Test Ab See Clause 5.2 Test Ad See Clause 5.3 Test Ae See Clause 5.4 IEC 350/07 Figure 1 Block diagram tests A: Cold 5 Test description 5.1 General Tests Ab, Ad, and Ae are similar. Differences are noted in 5.2.2, 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. All other portions of the test are the same
46、, starting with Clause 6. The rate of change of temperature within the chamber shall not exceed 1 K per minute, averaged over a period of not more than 5 min. The relevant specification shall define the functioning of the specimen under test. Care shall be taken to see that any cooling devices of th
47、e specimen are in accordance with the requirement in the relevant specification. 5.2 Test Ab: Cold for non heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature 5.2.1 Object This procedure is intended for non heat-dissipating specimens which are subjected to a lower temperature for a time lo
48、ng enough for the specimen to achieve temperature stability. 9 EN 60068-2-1:20075.2.2 General description The specimen is introduced into the chamber which is at the temperature of the laboratory. The temperature is then adjusted to the temperature appropriate to the degree of severity, as specified
49、 in the relevant specification. After temperature stability of the test specimen has been reached, the specimen is exposed to these conditions for the specified duration. For specimens that are required to be operational (even though they do not meet the requirements of being heat dissipating), power shall then be applied to the specimen and a functional test is performed as necessary. A further period of stabilization may be necessary and the specimen shall then be exposed to the low te
