The glow-wire test is used to check the ignitability of
insulating parts of electrical appliances/ equipment. The parts are subjected to a temperature
of 6500C to 9600C, depending on the nature of the
part. The duration of contact with
the glow-wire is 30 seconds. The
force of contact is 1N. The test is
passed if either the part does not ignite or gets extinguished within 30
seconds from loss of contact with the glow-wire.
