Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of current measurement, in particular to a testing device for an electrical fire-proof current-limiting protector. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with economic development and increased energy consumption, electrical fires have become commonplace due to a lack of awareness of electrical safety among users and improper use, management, or maintenance of electrical equipment. The incidence of electrical fires remains high, causing significant economic losses and, in severe cases, life-threatening situations. As a product for preventing electrical fires, the Electrical Fire Current Limiter (ASCP) provides microsecond-level current limiting protection against electrical short circuits. This occurs long before the current generated by a short circuit reaches the short-circuit current, preventing continuous arcing caused by short circuits from igniting combustible materials and causing fire accidents.

[0003] During the ASCP product production phase, a series of tests are required for the entire device, including short-circuit protection, overload protection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and other functions. The numerous test items require complex wiring between the ASCP meter and the test equipment, requiring rewiring for each test. Testing different functions also requires repeated wiring and instrument changes. The tedious and complex testing process is difficult for production personnel unfamiliar with the product, resulting in slow testing, low efficiency, and low yield. Furthermore, short-circuit testing is dangerous. Due to its unique testing requirements, it cannot be tested simultaneously with other functions and requires a separate test environment.
