Environmental Tests
All WAGO products meet the requirements the following environmental tests:
• Temperature Cycling Test per IEC/EN 60947-7-1, IEC/EN 60998-2-2
• Industrial Atmospheres per ISO 6988, IEC/EN 60068-2-42, IEC/EN 60068-2-60
The rated current applied the test specimen during temperature
rise and when the temperature has reached its maximum value;
during the second half the cycle, the current zero.22

In other test procedures, products are
exposed dry corrosive gas atmosphere
containing sulfide, nitrogen and sulfur oxides
or chloride gas.
This test shows the change voltage drop over longer periods under temperature cycling conditions. Voltage drop
is measured every cycles and must not exceed maximum value
or vary greatly.

Sulphur and its combustion products are particularly aggressive pollutants commonly found industrial environments. Climatic chambers simulate standard atmo-
spheres that could impact the long-term consistency clamping units.temperaturerisedueto

The following tests show how product reacts when exposed aggressive environment.
After exposure humid atmosphere, the
test specimen subjected dry and cooler
conditions room temperature for hours.
Depending the test severity, the specimen
is exposed both these conditions several
times
