33、FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the harmonized ANCE, CSA Group, and UL Standard for Plugs, Receptacles, and Couplers for Electric Vehicles. It is the Second edition of NMX-J-678-ANCE, the Second edition of CSA-C22.2 No. 282, and the Fourth edition

34、of UL 2251. This edition of CSA-C22.2 No. 282 supersedes the previous edition published February 22, 2013. This edition of NMX-J-678-ANCE supersedes the previous edition published in 2013. This edition of UL 2251 supersedes the previous edition published February 22, 2013. This harmonized standard w

35、as prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication (ANCE), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Working Group for Electric Vehicle Couplers are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use f

36、or conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. The present Mexican Standard was reviewed and approved by the Comit de Normalizacin de la Asociacin de Normalizacin y Certicacin, A.C., CONANCE. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Electrical VehicleSafety of Plugs,

37、Receptacles, and Couplers, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been approved by the American National

38、Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where reference is made to a specic number of specimens to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scop

39、e, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is considered equivalent to, an IEC standard. This standard is published

40、 as an equivalent standard for ANCE, CSA Group, and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows: Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as those recognized as being in accordance wi

41、th NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. NOVEMBER 20, 2017 NMX-J-67

42、8-ANCE-2017 CSA C22.2 NO. 282-17 UL 2251 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Reasons for differences from IEC This standard provides general requirements for plugs, receptacles, and couplers for electric vehicles in accordance w

43、ith the electrical installation codes of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. At present there is no IEC standard for these products for use in accordance with these codes. Therefore, this standard does not employ any IEC standard for base requirements. Interpretations The interpretation by the st

44、andards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rulesofthestandardsdevelopmentorganization.Ifmorethanoneinterpretationoftheliteraltexthasbeen identied, a revision is to be

45、 proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reect the intent.

46、CTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover EV plugs, EV receptacles, vehicle inlets, vehicle connectors, and EV breakaway couplings, rated up to 800 amperes and up to 600 volts ac or dc. These devices are intended for use with conductive electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), and are intended to

47、facilitate the conductive connection from the EVSE to the vehicle. These devices are for use in either indoor or outdoor nonhazardous locations in accordance with Annex A, Ref. No. 1. 1.2 This Standard does not directly apply to any device that is not intended for use as described in 1.1. 1.3 In the

48、 text of this Standard, the term device refers to any product covered by this Standard. The letters EV refer to an electric vehicle, including plug-in hybrid vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and similar vehicles. 2 Denitions 2.1 For the purposes of this Standa

49、rd, the following denitions apply. 2.2 BREAKAWAY COUPLINGS A device located within a length of EV cable, between the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) end and the vehicle connector end, that is intended to separate under a pull force, such that its separation will protect the end connections from a strain that could break wiring connections or rupture insulation. These devices are intended to be reconnectable, and may or may not be intende
