18、MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover ground-fault current sensing devices, relaying equipment, or combinations of ground-fault current sensing devices and relaying equipment or equivalent protect

19、ion equipment for use in ordinary locations that will operate to cause a disconnecting device to open all ungrounded conductors at predetermined values of ground-fault current, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements cover equipment intended for use in c

20、ircuits that are solidly grounded. 1.3 These requirements do not cover equipment intended to be powered from single-phase circuits operating at more than 600 volts or three-phase circuits operating at more than 600 volts phase-to-phase. 1.4 These requirements do not cover ground-fault circuit-interr

21、upters. 1.5 These devices are intended to operate with shunt-trip circuit breakers, electrically tripped bolted pressure contact switches and the like that constitute the disconnecting means. 1.6 A Class I ground-fault protection device is one that does not incorporate means to prevent opening of th

22、e disconnecting means at high levels of fault current and is intended for use with the following: a) Circuit breakers, b) Fused circuit breakers, c) Fused switches having an interrupting rating not less than 12 times their ampere rating, or d) Fused switches having integral means to prevent disconne

23、cting at levels of fault current exceeding the contact interrupting rating of the switch. 1.7 A Class II ground-fault protection device is one that incorporates means to prevent initiation of opening of the disconnecting device if the fault current exceeds the contact interrupting capability of the

24、disconnecting device with which it is intended to be used. 1.8 These requirements cover enclosed-type devices and also cover open-type devices that are intended for use in other equipment, such as panelboards, switchboards, and the like.

25、L 1053 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2 Glossary 2.1 GROUND-FAULT RELAYING EQUIPMENT That element of ground-fault current sensing and relaying equipment that responds to a specied signal from a ground-fault sensor. The powe

26、r to operate the relaying equipment may be derived from the ground fault, from a separate source, or both. The output of such relaying equipment may: a) Include a switching device, b) Transmit a trip energy signal, or c) Be any combination of a) and b) that is directly or indirectly capable of causi

27、ng a disconnecting device to operate. 2.2 GROUND-FAULT SENSOR That element of ground-fault current sensing and relaying equipment that detects ground fault current and transmits a resulting signal to ground fault-relaying equipment. 2.3 OPERATING TIME The time elapsed between pick-up and operation (

28、tripping or generation of output signal) of ground-fault current sensing and relaying equipment. 2.4 PICK-UP CURRENT A nominal value that is related to the lowest value of current (pick-up) that will cause ground-fault relaying equipment to ultimately operate under specied conditions, at its setting

29、, if provided, or rating. 3 Components 3.1 Except as indicated in 3.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this Standard. 3.2 A co

30、mponent is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with

31、its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 3.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall

32、 be used only under those specic conditions.

33、nt. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 5 References 5.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 6 Enclosure 6.1 General 6.1

34、.1 An enclosure of ground-fault sensing and relaying equipment shall be so constructed and assembled that it will have the strength and rigidity necessary to resist the abuses to which it is likely to be subjected, without total or partial collapse resulting in an increased risk of re due to reducti

35、on of spacings, loosening or displacement of parts, or other serious defects. 6.1.2 The enclosure referred to in 6.1.1 is the ultimate enclosure and does not include protective covers, dust covers, shields, and the like that are part of open type devices intended to be installed in other equipment t

36、hat provides the ultimate enclosure. 6.1.3 Among the factors taken into consideration when an enclosure is being judged for acceptability are its physical strength, resistance to impact, moisture-absorptive properties, combustibility, resistance to corrosion, and resistance to distortion at temperat

37、ures to which the enclosure may be subject under conditions of normal or abnormal use. For a nonmetallic enclosure or part of an enclosure, all these factors are considered with respect to thermal aging. 6.1.4 There shall be no ventilating openings in the enclosure of ground-fault sensing and relayi

38、ng equipment unless the conditions of use of such equipment necessitates ventilation and it can be shown by test that electrical disturbances within the enclosure will be contained. In no case shall there be such openings in an enclosure or a compartment of an enclosure containing a fuse or any port

39、ion of a circuit breaker other than the operating handle. 6.1.5 A ventilating opening in an enclosure, including a perforated hole, a louver, or an opening protected by means of wire screening, expanded metal, or a perforated cover, shall be of such size or shape that no opening will permit passage

40、of a rod having a diameter greater than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). Exception: If the distance between an uninsulated live part and the opening is greater than 4 inches (102 mm), the opening may be larger than that previously mentioned, provided no opening will permit passage of a rod having a diameter grea

41、ter than 3/4 inch (19.1 mm). 6.1.6 The diameter of the wires of a screen shall not be less than 0.051 inch (1.30 mm) if the screen openings are 1/2 square inch (323 mm 2 ) or less in area, and shall not be less than 0.081 inch (2.06 mm) for larger screen openings.

43、0.045 (1.14 mm) if galvanized for mesh openings or perforations 1/2 square inch (323 mm 2 ) or less in area, and shall not be less than 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) thick if uncoated and not less than 0.084 inch (2.13 mm) if galvanized for larger openings. 6.1.8 No covering is required across the top of the

44、 surrounding enclosure of a oor-mounted unit if the enclosure is 6 feet (1.83 m) or more in height and if exposed live parts within the device are not less than 6 inches (152 mm) below the upper edge of the enclosure. 6.1.9 A part of the enclosure such as a door, cover, or the like shall be provided

45、 with a means, such as latches, locks, interlocks, or screws for rmly securing it in place. 6.2 Cast metal 6.2.1 A cast-metal enclosure shall: a) Be at least 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick at every point; Exception: Malleable iron and die-cast or permanent mold cast aluminum, brass, or bronze metal may not

46、 be less than 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) thick for an area greater than 24 square inches (155 cm 2 ) or having any dimension greater than 6 inches (152 mm), and may not be less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) thick for any area of 24 square inches or less and having no dimension greater than 6 inches. The area limi

47、tation for metal 1/16 inch thick may be obtained by the provision of reinforcing ribs subdividing a larger area. b) Be more than 1/8 inch thick at reinforcing ribs and door edges; and c) Comply with Table 6.1 in the area: 1) Where tapped holes are provided for the connection of conduit or 2) Intende

48、d to be tapped in the eld as noted in 32.8.
