Environmental testing - Part 2-78: Tests - Test Cab: Damp heat, steady state

Provides a test method for determining the suitability of electrotechnical products, components or equipment for transportation, storage and use under conditions of high humidity. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of the effect of high humidity at constant temperature without condensation on the specimen over a prescribed period. This test provides a number of preferred severities of high temperature, high humidity and test duration. The test can be applied to both heat-dissipating and non-heat dissipating specimens. The test is applicable to small equipment or components as well as large equipment having complex interconnections with test equipment external to the chamber, requiring a set-up time which prevents the use of preheating and the maintenance of specified conditions during the installation period.

Essais d'environnement - Partie 2-78: Essais - Essai Cab: Chaleur humide, essai continu

Fournit une méthode d'essai pour déterminer l'aptitude des produits électrotechniques, composants ou matériels, prévus pour être transportés, stockés et utilisés dans des conditions de forte humidité. Cet essai est principalement destiné à permettre l'observation sur une période prescrite des effets d'une forte humidité, à température constante, sans condensation sur le spécimen. Cet essai indique un certain nombre de sévérités préférentielles pour des températures élevées, une forte humidité et pour la durée d'essai. Cet essai peut s'appliquer à la fois à des spécimens dissipateurs d'énergie ou non dissipateurs d'énergie. Cet essai s'applique aussi bien à des petits matériels ou composants qu'à des matériels volumineux ayant des liaisons complexes avec des matériels d'essai situés à l'extérieur de l'étuve, et nécessitant des temps de mise en service qui empêchent d'avoir recours à un préchauffage et de maintenir les conditions climatiques spécifiées pendant la durée de l'installation.
