The equipment is commonly used for testing of solid insulating materials. This test apparatus is covered in IEC 60695-2-10 and commonly referred for various devices in many standards such as IEC 60335, IEC 60695-2-11, IEC 60695-2-12, IS 11000, IEC 60598-1, IEC 60947, IEC 60898, IEC 61008-1, IEC 60669-1, IEC 60884-1, IEC 60950-1 / IS 13252, IEC 60238, IEC 60745-1, IEC 60400, IEC 60730-1, IEC 61050, IEC 60320-1, IEC 61058-1, ASTM D 6194- 03
As per IEC 60695-2-10 (Glowing/hot-wire based test methods – Glow-wire apparatus and common test procedure), parts of solid insulating materials are ignited by glowing wires. A nickel/chromium wire is heated to 960°C and the insulating material is pushed against it with a force of 1 N. It is checked that the insulating material does not attain a certain temperature or catches fire so as to prevent fire hazard in their vicinity
