Creepage and Clearance Distance Testing Feeler Gauge

 IEC60335 IEC60598 Creepage Distance Gauge 10 Size or 30 Size Creepage Distance Test Card

1.Basic introduction
For gauging  the creepage and clearance distances in dead state between parts under voltage in the operating conditions as well as between touchable metal pieces and parts under voltage in the operating conditions. e. g. in installation material, switchgears, plugs, socket-outlets and electric appliances
according to IEC and CEE Publications,EN Standards,VDE Specifications.
It is used to determine the shortest path between two conductive parts, or between a conductive part and the bounding surface of the equipment, measured along the surface of the insulation, with specifications made according to the requirements.
Creepage distance test card or feeler gauge is made of whole stainless steel.

CX-PD30



Standards:
1 gauge block, cross section approx. 1 mm x 1 mm, distances between measuring
faces by agreement from 1 mm to 8 mm with a tolerance of -0.02 mm,
with shaft, cross section approx. 2 mm x 1 mm,
and with grip, approx. 12 mm x 40 mm x 1 mm,
rounded, with bore and engraving
(distance / mm, e. g. "5,0").
 
Design: made of spring steel, hardened and browned, measuring faces ground plane
parallel, total length approx. 70 mm,
 
with XY = distance between measuring faces in 1/10 mm. Example: the article no. of the
creepage distance gauge having a distance between measuring faces of 3,5 mm
Assotments :
Creepage Distance Gauges Bunch A
with 8 creepage distance gauges:
1,0 - 1,5 - 2,0 - 2,5 - 3,0 - 4,0 - 6,0 - 8,0 mm,
 
Creepage Distance Gauges Bunch B
with 15 creepage distance gauges:
1,0 to 8,0 mm in steps of 0,5 mm,
 
In some publications, standards and specifications, there are distances to be gauged,
which are beyond the distance range chosen for  creepage distance gauges. To
gauge distances below 1 mm, we recommend to use feeler gauges.
