installing the TCO in the chamber and gradually increasing temperature up to the 20 ¡É
lower than Tf, then if the temperature of the chamber and the testing products and made
equal. the temperature is increased 1¡É per minute, then the fuse will be function within
the specified tolerance.

when the working voltage and current are applied the TCO in ambient temperature, 20~25 ¡É,
the temperature of the TCO will go up. But the increase of temperature shall be not more
than 10 ¡É.

After having operated in temperature test of section 1, the insulation resistance shall be more
then 0.2 §Û when tested with 500V resistance measuring machine.

The resistance of the both leads of the TCO should not exceed 1.5§Û within the 10mm
length of the leads.

After conducting the Insulation resistance test, section 3, the TCO shall be maintain without
breakdown when AC 500V is applied between the leads of the TCO for 1 Min.

after keeping the TCO in the chamber with humidity 90~95% and specified below condition
for 500 hours, the TCO shall be tested Functioning temperature test, section 1.

Tf chamber temperature humidity
100 ¡É less 40 ± 2 ¡É 90~95%
100 ¡É over 65 ± 2 ¡É



after keeping the TCO at the temperature 20 ± 3 ¡É lower then the Tf for 48 hours,
the TCO shall be tested Functioning temperature test, section 1.
