ISO 3808 Standard Test for Road Vehicles and Unscreened High Voltage Ignition Cables

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 3808 testing. ISO 3808 specifies classes, types and sizes, and test methods and requirements for unshielded high-voltage ignition cables used in spark-ignition engines for road vehicles.

Measure the length of the sample as well as a stripped section needed for the connections. Connect the resistance meter to the ends of the cable. Make sure the connections are reliable. Measure the resistance of the sample and make the necessary calculation to express the result in ohms per meter.

Before applying the test voltage, make sure that the conductor of the cable under test is continuous along its entire length. The electrode length and frequency should be chosen taking into account the speed of the cable passing through the electrode area so that each point of the cable is charged with at least nine voltage cycles.

Measure the full length of the sample at room temperature before testing. Put the sample in an oven in a horizontal position so that the air can circulate freely from all sides. The test must be timed. It should be the test temperature.
