Application and test method
Mount the socket-outlet in the dummy plate (17b), wire per Figure 17 and pass the test current. Measure the temperature rise of each pole with thermocouples. The line and neutral pin spacers keep the pin position and the heat dissipation consistent with the standard; the length of the test conductors is also controlled.
