The test is intended to indicate the performance of such devices when exposed to heat and humidity followed by short-term freezing.In general terms, this test provides a high temperature to induce potential failures due to softening and expansion, a high humidity to encourage moisture absorption and swelling and a low temperature to facilitate ice formation, embrittlement and contraction.This test differs from other cyclic environmental tests, notably the damp heat cyclic test of IEC 61300-2-46 and the composite temperature-humidity cyclic test of 61300-2-21, by incorporating alternative levels of severity. This is achieved througha) a greater number of cycles;b) a greater cyclic temperature range;c) a decreased cyclic period.2Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The attenuation of the specimen is monitored throughout the duration of the test.BS EN 61300-2-48:2009 6 61300-2-48 © IEC:2009(E)4Apparatus4.1ChamberThe apparatus shall consist of an environmental chamber capable of maintaining the temperature and humidity requirements within the specified tolerances.The chamber shall be constructed so thatit is capable of housing the specimen;it allows access for measurement;it is capable of maintaining homogeneous conditions;it uses distilled, demineralized or deionized water to achieve the required humidity conditions;no rust or corrosion contaminants are imposed on the specimen;no condensed water can fall on the specimen;the conditions experienced by the specimen and the temperature- and humidity-sensing devices are as similar as possible.4.2Optical source and detectorThe optical source and detector used to measure changes in attenuation shall comply with those specified in IEC 61300-3-4.NOTE A device to record attenuation over time (X, t) should be used where the optical detector does not have the capability to monitor continuously.5Procedure5.1Preparation of specimensPrepare the specimen according to the manufacturers instructions or as specified in the relevant specification. The specimen shall be terminated with a sufficient length of fibre cable to facilitate connection with the optical source and detector.5.2PreconditioningPlace the specimen in the chamber and precondition for 2 h at the standard test conditions, as defined in IEC 61300-1 unless otherwise specified in the relevant specification.5.3Initial examinations and measurementsComplete initial examinations and measurements on the specimen as required by the relevant specification.5.4ConditioningSet the chamber temperature and humidity profile to achieve the specified severities.5.4.1Method AFor Category O, it is necessary to move to transition rapidly from the low temperature to the high temperature without a dwell at 23 °C. In this case, make the temperature changing according to the following cycle:The specimen shall be subjected to a temperature cycle from Tmax °C ± 2 °C to Tmin °C ± 2 °Cfor a total of 14 cycles, where Tmax and Tmin are defined by the relevant specification.BS EN 61300-2-48:200961300-2-48 © IEC:2009(E) 7 Examples of Tmax and Tmin are shown in Table 1. Temperature change from 23 °C to Tmin and Tmin to 23 °C shall occur in 1 h. Temperature change from Tmin to Tmax and Tmax to Tmin must occur faster (20 min max.) to maximize condensation. Dwell times for this test shall be aminimum of 2 h.NOTE Dwells occur at Tmax, 23 °C and Tmin °C.The humidity shall be controlled from Tmin to Tmax as follows:at 23 °C maintain a constant relative humidity of 95 %;between 23 °C and Tmax relative humidity is uncontrolled;at Tmax maintain a constant relative humidity of 95 %;between Tmax and Tmin relative humidity is uncontrolled;at Tmin the humidity is uncontrolled. However, water vapour should not be evacuated from the environmental chamber. This is to allow condensation and the formation of ice to occur.A schematic showing of an example of the temperature-humidity profile for Tmax = 65 °C andTmin = 10 °C is shown in Figure 1.NOTE The tolerance on relative humidity values is ±5 %. This means that the actual operating humidity may be up to 100 % RH, for short term operation, however a 95 % RH upper limit has been specified for practical measurement purposes.Attenuation mea
