32、RIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 The requirements of this Standard cover arc-fault circuit-interrupters (AFCIs) of the branch/feeder, outlet circuit, portable, and cord type intended for use in dwelling units. These devi

33、ces are intended to mitigate the effects of arcing faults that may pose a risk of re ignition under certain conditions if the arcing persists. 1.2 AFCIs have a maximum rating of 20 A and are intended for use in 120-V ac, 60-HZ circuits. Cord AFCIs are rated up to 30 A. 1.3 These devices are not inte

34、nded to detect glowing connections. 1.4 In these requirements the term device is used generically to apply to all of the devices covered by these requirements and is modied when the requirement does not apply to all types. 1.5 An AFCI that is also intended to perform other functions, such as overcur

35、rent protection, ground-fault circuit-interruption, surge suppression, any other similar functions, or any combination thereof, shall comply additionally with the requirements of the applicable Standard or Standards that cover devices that provide those functions. 1.6 This standard contains a supple

36、ment covering the requirements for Leakage-Current Detector-Interrupters. 2 Glossary 2.1 For the purposes of this Standard, the following denitions apply. 2.2 ARCING A luminous discharge of electricity across an insulating medium, usually accompanied by the partial volatilization of the electrodes.

37、2.3 ARCING FAULT An unintentional arcing condition in a circuit. 2.4 ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER (AFCI) A device intended to mitigate the effects of arcing faults by functioning to deenergize the circuit when an arc-fault is detected. 2.5 BRANCH/FEEDER ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER A device intend

38、ed to be installed at the origin of a branch circuit or feeder, such as at a panelboard. It is intended to provide protection of the branch circuit wiring, feeder wiring, or both, against unwanted effects of arcing. This device also provides limited protection to branch circuit extension wiring. It

39、may be a circuit-breaker type device or a device in its own enclosure mounted at or near a panelboard. 2.6 CARBONIZED PATH A conductive carbon path formed through or over the surface of a normally insulating material.

40、AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2.7 COMBINATION ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER An AFCI which complies with the requirements for both branch/feeder and outlet circuit AFCIs. It is intended to protect downstream branch circuit wiring and cord sets and powe

41、r-supply cords. 2.8 CORD ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER A plug-in device intended to be connected to a receptacle outlet. It is intended to provide protection to the power-supply cord connected to it against the unwanted effects of arcing. The cord may be integral to the device. The device has no add

42、itional outlets. 2.9 MICROELECTRONICS Monolithic, hybrid, or module circuits, where the internal circuit connections are not accessible exclusive of provided external connection pins or pads. The circuits are capable of functioning in the analogue mode, digital mode, or a combination of the two mode

43、s. Examples of microelectronics include: ASICs, ROMs, RAMs, PROMs, EPROMs, PALs, and PLDs. See 2.13. 2.10 OPERATION INHIBITION Denotes the concealment of an arcing fault by the normal operation of certain circuit components. 2.11 OUTLET CIRCUIT ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER A device intended to be i

44、nstalled at a branch circuit outlet, such as at an outlet box. It is intended to provide protection of cord sets and power-supply cords connected to it (when provided with receptacle outlets) against the unwanted effects of arcing. This device may provide feed-through protection of the cord sets and

45、 power-supply cords connected to downstream receptacles. 2.12 PORTABLE ARC-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER A plug-in device intended to be connected to a receptacle outlet and provided with one or more outlets. It is intended to provide protection to connected cord sets and power-supply cords against the

46、unwanted effects of arcing. 2.13 PROGRAMMABLE COMPONENT Any microelectronic hardware that can be programmed in the design center, the factory, or in the eld. Here the term programmable is taken to be any manner in which one can alter the software wherein the behavior of the component can be altered.

47、 The microelectronics dened in 2.9 are examples of programmable components. 2.14 UNWANTED TRIP A tripping function in response to a condition that is not an arcing fault but a condition that occurs as part of the normal or anticipated operation of circuit components. 3 Components 3.1 Except as indic

48、ated 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 component is not required to comply with a specic requiremen

49、t 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.
