2. GB/T 14598.27-2017 "Measuring Relays and Protection Equipment - Part 27: Product Safety Requirements" Section 10.6.5.2
• Summary: Specifies flame retardancy requirements for non-metallic materials, requiring compliance with glow-wire tests (e.g., 750°C/850°C glow-wire contact for 30 seconds, no sustained combustion or flame spread).
• Scope of Application: Equipment with rated AC voltage ≤1000V, DC voltage ≤1500V, for indoor installation environments.
3. DL/T 478-2013 "General Technical Conditions for Relay Protection and Safety Automatic Devices" Sections 6 and 7.16
• Section 6: General technical requirements, including equipment stability under extreme environments (temperature, humidity, pollution level).
• Section 7.16: Specifies safety performance of equipment under high-temperature and overload conditions, requiring verification of fire resistance for enclosure materials and internal components.
4. IEC 60255-27:2013 "Measuring Relays and Protection Equipment - Part 27: Product Safety Requirements" Sections 7 and 10.6.5.2
• Summary: Equivalent to GB/T 14598.27-2017, requiring material flame retardancy to comply with IEC 60695-2-11 standard, with test methods aligned with international standards.

II. Test Equipment and Conditions

1. Test Equipment:
• Glow-wire test apparatus (compliant with IEC 60695-2-11)
• High-temperature test chamber (temperature range: -40°C to 300°C)
• Insulation resistance tester, leakage current tracking test apparatus
2. Environmental Conditions:
• Temperature: 25±5°C; Humidity: ≤75% RH
• Power supply: AC 220V/50Hz

III. Test Items and Results

1. Material Flame Retardancy Test (Glow-wire Test)
• Standard: GB/T 14598.27-2017 10.6.5.2, IEC 60255-27:2013 10.6.5.2.
• Method: Apply 850°C glow-wire to equipment enclosure and internal non-metallic components for 30 seconds, observe ignition and flame duration.
• Result: Specimen did not sustain combustion (flame extinguishing time ≤30 seconds), meeting standard requirements.
2. High-Temperature Operation Test
• Standard: GB/T 7261-2016 17.6, DL/T 478-2013 7.16.
• Method: Operate equipment continuously for 2 hours at 70°C ambient temperature, monitor enclosure temperature and electrical performance.
• Result: Maximum enclosure temperature ≤90°C, insulation resistance ≥100MΩ, no deformation or functional abnormalities.
3. Fire Risk Assessment Under Overload Conditions
• Standard: DL/T 478-2013 7.16, GB/T 7261-2016 17.6.
• Method: Simulate short-circuit fault, apply 1.5 times rated current for 1 minute, observe if equipment ignites or releases toxic gases.
• Result: No open flames, smoke, or harmful gas release, meeting safety requirements.

IV. Conclusion

1. Compliance Evaluation:
• The flame retardancy of non-metallic materials, high-temperature stability, and overload safety of the inspected relay protection device comply with GB/T 7261-2016, GB/T 14598.27-2017, DL/T 478-2013, and IEC 60255-27:2013 requirements.
• Risk is controllable when the equipment is used in indoor environments (altitude ≤2000m, humidity ≤95%).
2. Improvement Suggestions:
• Regular inspection of insulation material aging is recommended for long-term high-temperature environments.

Note: This report is only responsible for the submitted samples. Test results are based on standard specified conditions; practical application requires comprehensive evaluation considering on-site environments.
