Short-Time Grounding Test Currents
Ground-path integrity is of critical importance to safe operation of industrial equipment. Leviton pin and sleeve devices are tested by applying a test current through their ground path that far exceeds the device rating. All devices are properly wired and connected to line current at rated values. Then the ground path is subjected to a dramatic, sudden increase in current for 4 seconds. In all cases, the ground pin, sleeve, and terminals of the devices must sustain the test current, continue to function properly, and show no evidence of damage or deterioration in any electrical or mechanical elements of the ground path. Test current values and test parameters are displayed in the above chart.

Cord Secureness Test Values
Heavy cord stress is typical of industrial applications. To assure you of top performance, Leviton pin and sleeve devices are subjected to a punishing series of tests to confirm that they can absorb heavy cord pulls. The cord conductors wired to devices are simultaneously twisted and pulled. Values for the applied twisting torque and force of pull are shown above. In all cases, the cord displacement is less than 3/32 inches.

Minimum Withdrawl Force
In industrial settings, inadvertent disconnection of power can be troublesome at best, dangerous at worst, and unacceptable in any case. To verify that Leviton pin and sleeve plugs and connectors remain securely connected, they are tested to establish the minimum force required for withdrawl. In establishing these minimum withdrawl forces, the plugs and connectors are properly mated, but not locked with locking rings or other mechanical means. The pins and sleeves provide the only resistance to the force of withdrawl. In all cases, the values in the table above show the minimum force required to separate the plugs and connectors.
