special testing procedure.e.
The vibration test determines whether vibrations, such those produced the vicinity machines vehicles, will permanently affect
the electrical connection, contact breaks will occur during vibrations.g. Some test specifi-
cations require the determination possible

drop measured before and after the test to
detect permanent failures, i., determining res-
onance occurs within the frequency spec-
trum passed through. The exact test procedure
may vary considerably, depending how
the product will used.
Though the requirements such testing
procedures are particularly demanding, test
arrangements are identical for all them.8

In common test procedure, for example, wide frequency band continuously run 2000 Hz, different accelerations 20g and
different amplitudes mm.
During vibrations, possible contact breaks
are monitored oscilloscope.
The amplitude, acceleration and, particular, the frequency the vibration must vary during the test.
The smaller this value is, the smaller the con-
tact resistance the clamping unit.e.
• Vibration Test per IEC/EN 60068-2-6; DNV GL, (Marine Applications); 61373 (Railway Applications)

electrical resistance the clamping unit has
not increased beyond the permissible limit.
Beyond these standard procedures, each
market segment performs additional testing. Test duration minutes per axis.
The test passed if:
• the conductor has neither slipped out the
terminal block nor been damaged
• the maximum permissible voltage drop has
not been exceeded
• and neither contact breaks have occurred
nor defined break time has been exceeded.wago. Using vibration table, the test specimen subjected vibration
