26 Overload tests

26.1 Plugs shall withstand overload currents, which could occur due to overload, without creating a risk
of contact with live parts.
26.1.1 Compliance shall be checked by the tests given in 26.1.2 to 26.1.4. The test arrangement shall be
as described in 16.1 except no thermocouples or pin spacers shall be used.
NOTE Owing to the high temperatures which can be expected during these tests, laboratories are advised to use separate test
cabinets for these tests.
26.1.2 The plug shall be fitted with a fuse link complying with BS 1362 with a rating as marked on the
plug. The plug shall then be subjected to a test current of 1.6 times the rating of the fuse for 60 min or
until the fuse operates (if less than 60 min). Immediately afterwards, the checks specified in 26.1.4 shall
be made.
26.1.3 The plug shall be fitted with a fuse link complying with BS 1362 with a rating as marked on the
plug. The plug shall then be subjected to a test current of 1.9 times the rating of the fuse for 30 min or
until the fuse operates (if less than 30 min). Immediately afterwards, the checks specified in 26.1.4 shall
be made.
26.1.4 Each plug shall be checked for compliance with 9.1, 12.6.1a), 12.6.1b) and 12.11.1,except that the
tests shall be performed at ambient temperature. Deterioration which does not compromise access to live
parts (e.g. discolouring, distortion) shall be deemed to be acceptable. Inspection shall not reveal
any damage to the plug which would impair its safety within the requirements of this part of BS 1363.

!The CTI or PTI is determined in accordance with BS EN 60112.
For the purpose of this standard the following applies.
a) In Clause 5 of BS EN 60112:2003, Test specimen:
— Note 3 and the last paragraph also apply to PTI;
— If the surface 15 mm × 15 mm cannot be obtained because of the small dimensions of the PT system
then special samples made with the same manufacturing process may be used.
b) The test solution “A” described in 7.3 of BS EN 60112:2003 shall be used.
c) In Clause 8 of BS EN 60112:2003, Procedure, either CTI or PTI is determined.
— CTI is determined in accordance with Clause 11 of BS EN 60112:2003.
— The PTI test of Clause 10 of BS EN 60112:2003 is performed on five samples at the voltage referred
to in 10.1 of BS EN 60112:2003 based on the appropriate creepage distance, material group, pollution
degree conditions and on the rated voltage of this standard declared by the manufacturer."
