Research on Ignition Characteristic of Short-Circuit Fault

Article Preview

Abstract:

Under voltage of 220V, this article has carried out ignition test of three categories of combustible substance including polyurethane foam, cotton cloth and newspaper by simulation of short-circuit fault of aluminum conducting wire, so as to get the characteristic parameters of ignition of combustible substance due to short-circuit bead at different heights, summarize the distribution of fire origins for ignition of polyurethane foam due to short-circuit bead at different heights, and provide detailed fundamental data and effective technical support to fire disaster researchers of primary-level fire protection during onsite investigation.
