- Lamifil has an indoor test environment consisting of an DC generator to generate heat by adding currents up to 4000A.
- Our lab’s extensive expertise allows us to advise on the fittings to be used.
- Heat cycle tests are fully accredited and have been performed by Lamifil for over 5 years for various customers.
- A realistic simulation is made of a fitting/conductor combination using various types of fittings such as dead ends and splices;
- Current up to 4000A can be applied to the combination;
- With or without mechanical tension;
- Typically, 500 cycles are performed. After each cycle temperature of both conductor and fitting and the resistance of the fitting are measured;
- These results are then cross-checked with the different applicable limitations;
- A full report is prepared including test object data, test description, set-up, procedure results and conclusions.
