22、RODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 1 Scope and Object 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 General 1.1.1.1 This standard applies to isolating equipment incorporating electromechanical contactors remotely controlled and monitored to provide remote isolation status indication with a dened integrity level

23、. This equipment is intended for use as an additional isolating means on the load side of the required supply-disconnecting device and over current protection. This standard applies to isolating equipment that is to be used in circuits of which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000 Vac or 1500 Vdc.

24、 1.1.1.2 The system isolation equipment is expected to be used both as a means for removal of power for prevention of unexpected start-up of a stopped machine and as an isolator to provide protection from electric shock by ensuring the removal of electrical energy. 1.1.1.3 This equipment is intended

25、 for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, NFPA 79:2012. Note Reference to System Isolation Equipment is found in Article 430.109(A)(7) of the National Electrical Code NFPA 70; in Clause 5.5.4(3), Devices for Disco

27、ded to fulll the function of a motor starter or other motion control device. 1.1.2 System isolation equipment 1.1.2.1 Typical application 1.1.2.1.1 The system isolation equipment is principally intended for industrial machine applications where, isolation of power is so frequently required that the

28、mechanical life of a typical disconnecting means is unacceptably short or where there are multiple entry points on the machine where disconnection is required, or both. Note Multiple entry points are a function of access needs and the layout of the machine. OCTOBER 19, 2012 UL 6420 5UL COPYRIGHTED M
