“Every switch, fuse-switch, and circuit-breaker shall be capable of withstanding the following tests in the order named.”

(1) An endurance test, at rated current, of 6,000 makes and 6,000 breaks before failing.

The switch, fuse-switch, or circuit-breaker shall be tested by means of a power-driven testing-machine at a rate not exceeding 10 makes and 10 breaks a minute.

(2) A temperature test at rated current flowing continuously. The temperature of any part shall not rise above that of the surrounding air more than 54° F.

(3) An overload test of 50 per cent. greater amperage than its rated capacity in the case of switches, fuse-switches, or circuit-breakers, not exceeding 10 amperes and 25 per cent. in all other cases.

The switch, fuse-switch, or circuit-breaker shall be manually operated slowly for 50 makes and 50 breaks at the approximate rate of 10 makes and 10 breaks a minute, and shall make and break the circuit sharply and with a quick snap.

At the completion of the test the switch, fuse-switch, or circuit-breaker shall be in good operating condition, and show practically no damage to contacts or other parts.

The tests prescribed by the last preceding section shall be carried out with direct current at a voltage of 250 volts in the case of switches, fuse-switches, or circuit-breakers for use on a low-pressure circuit and at rated voltage in all other cases. The circuit shall not be non-inductive and one side shall be earthed.

All covers of switches, fuse-switches, or circuit-breakers shall be in position, and where the covers are of metal they shall be earthed throughout the test.

Where switches are submitted for testing, six samples of each switch shall be supplied.

All materials, appliances, fittings, apparatus, and accessories submitted to the Chief Electrical Engineer for inspection shall bear an indelible mark suitable for identification purposes, and unless such materials, appliances, fittings, apparatus, or accessories are not to be returned, they shall be accompanied by a photograph of suitable dimensions for identification, illustration, and record purposes.

A sample of the material submitted may be retained by the Chief Electrical Engineer.

Where any material, appliance, fitting, apparatus, or accessory is considered unsatisfactory by an authorized Inspector, it may be submitted to the Chief Electrical Engineer for inspection, in which case it shall be accompanied by a statement setting out in full the objections of the authorized Inspector to its use.

(1) Capacity up to and including 3 kw. 2 2 0
(2) Capacity over 3 kw. and not over 10 kw. .. .. .. 3 3 0
(3) Capacity over 10 kw. and not over 100 kw. .. .. .. 5 5 0
(4) Capacity over 100 kw. .. .. 10 10 0
