The base shall be so constructed tha

31、t, considering the material used, it will withstand the most severe conditions likely to be encountered in service. 7.2 Insulating material, including barriers between parts of opposite polarity and material that may be subject to the inuence of the arc formed by the opening of contacts, shall be ac

32、ceptable for the particular application. 7.3 Vulcanized ber may be used for insulating bushings, washers, separators, and barriers, but not as the sole support for uninsulated live parts. 8 Corrosion Protection 8.1 Iron and steel parts, except for thermal elements, magnet-pole faces, hardened and po

33、lished parts such as latching surfaces, and the like where such protection is impractical, shall be protected against corrosion by enameling, galvanizing, plating, or other equivalent means. 8.2 Phosphate treatment with an oil or wax coating is acceptable as corrosion protection for magnets and arma

34、tures; oil treatment is acceptable as corrosion protection for steel springs; and stainless steel is acceptable without additional protection, if properly polished or treated. 8.3 All surfaces of a metal enclosure, and all attached metal parts of an enclosure, shall be protected against corrosion by

35、 one of the coatings described in 8.4 8.6, unless the metal is inherently resistant to corrosion. Metals shall not be used in combinations as to cause galvanic action that will adversely affect any part of the device. 8.4 A sheet steel enclosure shall be protected against corrosion by one of the coa

36、tings as specied in (a) (f). a) Hot-dipped mill galvanized sheet steel conforming with the coating Designation G90 in Table I of ASTM Designation A653/A653M, with not less than 40 percent of the zinc on any side, based on the minimum single spot test requirement in this ASTM Designation. The weight

37、of the zinc coating may be determined by an acceptable method; however, in case of question the weight of coating shall be established in accordance with the test method of ASTM Designation A90. b) A zinc coating, other than that provided on hot-dipped mill galvanized sheet steel, uniformly applied

38、to an average thickness of not less than 0.00061 inch (0.015 mm) on each surface with a minimum thickness of 0.00054 inch (0.014 mm). The thickness of the coating shall be established by the chromic acid dropping test as described in 8.5. An annealed coating shall comply with 8.6. c) A zinc coating

39、conforming with item 1 or 2 and with one coat of an organic nish of the epoxy or alkyd-resin type or other outdoor paint on both surfaces after forming. The acceptability of the paint may be determined by consideration of its composition or by corrosion tests if these are considered necessary. 1) Ho

40、t-dipped mill galvanized sheet steel conforming with the coating Designation G60 or A60 in Table I of ASTM Designation A653/A653M, with not less than 40 percent of the zinc on any side, based on the minimum single spot test requirement in this ASTM Designation. The weight of zinc coating may be dete

41、rmined by any acceptable method; MARCH 18, 2016 UL 773 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL however, in case of question the weight of coating shall be established in accordance with the test method of ASTM Designation A90. An A6

42、0 (alloyed) coating shall also comply with 8.6. 2) A zinc coating, other than that provided on hot-dipped mill galvanized sheet steel, uniformly applied to an average thickness of not less than 0.00041 inch (0.010 mm) on each surface with a minimum thickness of 0.00034 inch (0.009 mm). The thickness

43、 of the coating shall be established by the chromic acid dropping test as described in 8.5. An annealed coating shall also comply with 8.6. d) A cadmium coating not less than 0.0010 inch (0.025 mm) thick on both surfaces. The thickness of coating shall be established by the chromic acid dropping tes

44、t as described in 8.5. e) A cadmium coating not less than 0.00075 inch (0.019 mm) thick on both surfaces with one coat of outdoor paint on both surfaces, or not less than 0.00051 inch (0.013 mm) thick on both surfaces with two coats of outdoor paint on both surfaces. The thickness of the cadmium coa

45、ting shall be established by the chromic acid dropping test as described in 8.5 and the paint shall be as specied in (c). f) Other nishes, including paints, special metal nishes, or combinations of the two may be accepted when comparative tests with galvanized sheet steel (without annealing, wiping

46、or other surface treatment) as specied in (a), indicate they provide equivalent protection. Among the factors which are taken into consideration when evaluating the acceptability of such coating systems are exposure to salt spray, moist carbon dioxide-sulphur dioxide-air mixtures, moist hydrogen sul

47、phide-air mixtures, ultraviolet light, and water. 8.5 The method of determining the thickness of coating by the chromic acid dropping test as specied in (a) (h). a) The solution to be used for the chromic acid dropping test is to be made from distilled water and is to contain 200 g/L of chemically p

48、ure chromic acid (CrO 3 ) and 50 g/L of chemically pure concentrated sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ). (The latter is equivalent to 27 mm/L of chemically pure concentrated sulphuric acid, specic gravity 1.84, containing 96 percent of H 2 SO 4 .) b) The test solution is to be contained in a glass vessel, s

49、uch as a separatory funnel, with the outlet equipped with a stopcock and a capillary tube of approximately 0.025 inch (0.64 mm) inside bore and 5.5 inches (140 mm) long. The lower end of the capillary tube shall be tapered to form a tip, the drops from which are to be about 0.05 mm each. To preserve an effectively constant level, a small glass tube is to be inserted in the top of the funnel through a rubber stopper and its position adjusted so that, when the stopcock is open, the rate of dro
