BS 1363-3 Figure 35 Simulated Plug and Cable Devices

This BS 1363-3 Figure 35 Simulated Plug and Cable Devices is a precision-engineered testing apparatus designed for compliance with BS 1363-3 Figure 35 standards, specifically developed to evaluate the structural integrity of fixed socket-outlets under applied mechanical loads. The comprehensive test kit comprises three simulated plug configurations (BS 1363, BS 546 5A, BS 546 15A) and three brass counterweights (400g, 134g, 58g), each manufactured to exact dimensional and weight specifications as defined by the standard. By replicating real-world load conditions and predetermined turning moments, these devices generate consistent, reliable test data essential for verifying the mechanical stability and durability of socket-outlets, adaptors, and related electrical accessories in accordance with international safety requirements.
