Components or components may, due to abnormal operation or overload, reach a temperature such that they are affected in an abnormal manner or ris igniting neighboring parts. The glow wire test is intended to simulate the thermal stresses that can be produced by such sources of heat or ignition, such as incandescent elements or overloaded resis ors, over short durations, in order to evaluate simulated the ris of fire.
