BS EN 50289-4-17 / UL 1581 Xenon Arc Weathering Cable Test Chamber

Accelerated UV & Rain Aging System for Power and Communication Cable Testing

The BS EN 50289-4-17 standard is not simply about “sun exposure.” It requires precise spectral energy distribution control, strict black panel temperature cycling, highly controlled rain and spray simulation, and stable irradiance throughout long-term exposure.

The Xenon Arc Weathering Cable Test Chamber is engineered to meet these demands with high-precision control, including irradiance stability of 0.30–1.20 W/m² @ 340 nm, black panel temperature control at 35 ~ 85 ℃ ±2℃, and humidity regulation from 30%–98% RH, ensuring repeatable outdoor aging simulation. LIB Industry systems use advanced PID control algorithms and closed-loop irradiance regulation to simulate complex environmental interactions, allowing engineers to predict long-term aging behavior (up to 10+ years equivalent exposure) during R&D stages.
