Technical Parameters

Cable Testing Applications

Designed for wire and cable testing laboratories, this water bath provides controlled temperature conditions for:

PVC cable insulation testing

• Wire and cable electrical performance testing

• Insulation resistance testing

• DC resistance testing

• Cable material evaluation

• Quality inspection and compliance testing

Temperature Control System

The integrated heating and circulation system helps maintain stable water temperature throughout the tank.

The user can preset the required temperature, such as 70°C or 90°C, according to the test procedure.

Cable Access Design

The cover features 12 cable-through holes in different sizes.

This design allows test cables to pass through the cover while keeping the samples properly positioned during testing.

Safety Functions

The equipment includes a low-water protection system.

When the water level is insufficient, the heating elements automatically switch off to help protect the equipment.

Automatic water replenishment is also available for convenient operation.

Recommended Water

Distilled water is recommended for operation.

River water and hard water should be avoided. If tap water is used, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent scale buildup on the heating elements.

Typical Users

• Cable manufacturers

• Wire testing laboratories

• Quality inspection agencies

• Electrical compliance laboratories

• Third-party testing organizations

• R&D and material testing facilities
