1 Scope

This document specifies the principle, instruments, equipment and materials, test materials, methods and steps, and determination criteria of the residual magnetism method in the technical determination methods for electrical fire evidence. This document applies to fire accident investigations, when no short circuit melted marks or lightning melted marks are found at the scene of a building fire, the residual magnetic data obtained from the testing of ferromagnetic metal conductors is used to determine whether a large current short circuit or lightning strike has occurred.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. GB/T 16840.1 Technical determination method for electrical fire evidence - Part 1. Macroscopic method

3 Terms and definitions

For the purpose of this document, the terms and definitions defined in GB/T 16840.1 and the following apply. 3.1 residual magnetism Magnetism retained by a ferromagnet after it is magnetized by the magnetic field formed by the short-circuit current of a wire or the lightning current. 3.2 melted mark induced by lightning Melted mark formed by the high temperature of the lightning current on a metal. 6.1.5 Equipment components and other magnetic metal materials, preferably small in size. 6.2 Selection of test materials 6.2.1 Technical requirements for selection of test materials 6.2.1.1 Test materials shall be selected from representative parts. 6.2.1.2 The distance between the test material and the wire should be less than or equal to 20 mm. 6.2.1.3 For sites where lightning strikes may occur, testing shall be carried out according to actual conditions, without being restricted by the part. 6.2.1.4 Before testing, the location, state and morphological characteristics of the test material shall be recorded by taking photos. 6.2.2 Precautions 6.2.2.1 Test materials fixed to walls or other objects shall not be bent, knocked or dropped during extraction. 6.2.2.2 Test materials that are less affected by the temperature of the fire scene should be tested. 6.2.2.3 Test materials located near magnetic materials shall not be tested. 6.2.2.4 If it is confirmed that a short circuit has occurred in the line near where the test material is extracted, testing shall not be carried out.

7 Methods and steps

7.1 Preparation 7.1.1 Use cleaning reagent to clean the surface of the test material before measurement. 7.1.2 Clear the testing equipment to zero before measurement. 7.2 Measurement operation 7.2.1 Select measurement points according to the test material. For example, measure two ends of iron nails, iron pipes, steel bars, etc.; measure corners of iron plates; measure edges and corners of stray iron parts. 7.2.2 Place the probe (Hall element) flat on the test material, slowly change the position and angle of the probe to perform search measurement until the maximum value when the measurement data is stable. 7.2.3 The probe can be in contact with the test material, and no force shall be pressed.

8 Determination criteria

8.1 Data determination 8.1.1 When the test material is iron nails and iron wires, etc. 8.1.1.1 If the measured residual magnetic data is less than 0.5 mT, it is not used as a criterion for the occurrence of short circuit or lightning strike. 8.1.1.2 If the measured residual magnetic data is greater than 0.5 mT and less than 1.0 mT, it is used as a reference for determining whether a short circuit or lightning strike has occurred. 8.1.1.3 If the measured residual magnetic data is greater than 1.0 mT, it is used as a criterion for the occurrence of short circuit or lightning strike. 8.1.2 When the test material is iron pipes and steel bars, etc. 8.1.2.1 If the measured residual magnetic data is less than 1.0 mT, it is not used as a criterion for the occurrence of short circuit or lightning strike. 8.1.2.2 If the measured residual magnetic data is greater than 1.0 mT and less than 1.5 mT, it is used as a reference for determining whether a short circuit or lightning strike has occurred. 8.1.2.3 If the measured residual magnetic data is greater than 1.5 mT, it is used as a criterion for the occurrence of short circuit or lightning strike. 8.1.3 When the test material is stray iron pieces 8.1.3.1 Stray iron pieces include iron bars, angle irons, magnetic metals, etc. near the wire. 8.1.3.2 If the measured residual magnetic data is greater than 1.0 mT, it is used as a criterion for the occurrence of short circuit or lightning strike. 8.2 Comparative determination When electrical lines pass through the same facilities at different locations on site, measure the residual magnetic data of metal components on the facilities near the lines. By measuring the size of the residual magnetic data, determine whether the wire passing through the facilities with residual magnetic data has ever experienced a short circuit or lightning strike. ......
