The Temperature Rise Test assesses how much the temperature of electrical equipment or materials increases above the ambient temperature under specific operating conditions (e.g., rated current). This test is crucial for preventing overheating and ensuring safe, reliable operation. It verifies that the equipment's heat dissipation is adequate and that temperature limits of insulation and other components are not exceeded, which could lead to premature failure or safety hazards. The results inform design improvements, material selection, and adherence to safety standards, guaranteeing the longevity and dependable performance of electrical products.
