4、 breaker and the possible conditions of use. A devicenot specifically marked for either dc or ac shall be subjected to the 100-percent test with ac and may besubjected to the 135- and 200-percent test with dc. A circuit breaker rated only for a specific frequencyother than in the range of 50/60 Hz,

5、or dc, shall be tested at the rated frequency, or dc, or both, asappropriate.(NEW)Exception: If it can be shown by a comparison tests that the ac and dc calibration times are essentiallythe same, then either an ac or dc current source may be used.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:The change allows for a dc cir

6、cuit breaker to be tested with ac only if it is proven that the design is notfrequency dependent. Therefore the revision meets the intent of the requirement.Copyright 2013 Underwriters Laboratories Inc.UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, does not guarantee or warrant t
