Electrical appliances testing. Can something break there?

- in PlayStation
7

And every year all electronic devices are checked. Something is measured with such a strange thing…

Do you know someone there?

And the main question: Can it break my Playstation 5? I'm very worried…

What you mean is ne dguv v3 test.

If this is done correctly, nothing should break.

Okey thanks for the quick reply.

What exactly is being measured there?

And if he gets it wrong, what exactly is going on? Too much tension?

Don't want to be annoying, but would be really nice if you could explain that.

So the electrical safety is checked (protective conductor resistance, insulation resistance and leakage currents)

Usually the insulation is tested with 500V, with PCs and other fine electronics mostly with 230V to avoid damage

Nothing breaks, be glad someone does the test

Your electronic devices are not earthed because they are double insulated - apart from the PC, the test voltage is so low that nothing can happen there.

The Devil is a squirrel. It MAY be that a pc power supply, etc. Already makes the bend when testing. But you can't always tell exactly whether it really happened during the test or whether it was simply plugged in and unplugged. Devices that are actually connected to the network for years tend to bother.

During the test itself, devices of protection class 1 are measured, for example, to determine whether the connection between the protective contact and accessible metal parts is correct. In addition, a voltage of 500 volts is applied to BOTH current-carrying contacts. Not between the two, that would mean a barbecue, no, we're talking about both contacts at the same time. The other pole comes to earth. This is used to check whether the insulation in the device is correct.

In some cases, whatever you think of this practice, put it there, the exam is shortened. In other words, the devices are visually inspected and, if there are no defects, simply found to be good. In my opinion, the risk can be taken with some devices.

No everything will be fine.
