Features: This book introduces type tests and reliability tests for low-voltage electrical apparatus based on relevant IEC standards and the latest national and industry standards. It also provides an in-depth explanation of certain new technologies in the testing and inspection of low-voltage electrical apparatus. The book is divided into three parts. Part I is on the testing technology of low-voltage electrical apparatus, consisting of thirteen chapters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the theory and methods of sampling inspection in low-voltage electrical apparatus testing, while Chapters 2 to 13 discuss the main test items in type tests for low-voltage electrical apparatus. Part II is on the reliability testing technology of low-voltage electrical apparatus, comprising four chapters. Chapter 14 covers the basic knowledge of reliability for low-voltage electrical apparatus, while Chapters 15 to 17 respectively explain the reliability testing methods for relays, residual current circuit-breakers, and molded-case circuit-breakers. Part III is on the testing technology of low-voltage electrical apparatus, consisting of five chapters. Chapter 18 discusses the basic knowledge of measurement in low-voltage electrical apparatus testing, Chapter 19 introduces commonly used instruments and equipment in low-voltage electrical apparatus testing, Chapter 20 elaborates on the measurement of parameters in low-voltage electrical apparatus testing, and Chapters 21 and 22 cover certain new technologies in testing and inspection of low-voltage electrical apparatus, namely high-speed acquisition and processing technology for apparatus test parameters and dynamic photography technology for apparatus arcs. This book is suitable for researchers, engineers, and technicians engaged in research, design, and manufacturing of low-voltage electrical apparatus. It can also serve as a reference for technical personnel in power departments and as a teaching reference for university teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate students.
