It is the first editi

22、onof CSA C22.2 No. 291 and the first edition of UL 486F. This harmonized standard has been jointly revisedon January 12, 2018.This harmonized standard was prepared by CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Theefforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee, CANENA Technic

23、al HarmonizationCommittee 99 Electrical Connectors on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nationsof the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged.This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of thestandard.This standard was re

24、viewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Wiring Devices for Household and GeneralUse, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA StrategicSteering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSATechnical Committee.This sta

25、ndard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an AmericanNational Standard.Application of StandardWhere reference is made to a specific number of samples to be tested, the specified number is to beconsidered a minimum quantity.Note: Although the intended primary appl

26、ication of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remainsthe responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.Level of HarmonizationThis standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is it considered equivalent t

27、o, an IEC standard.This standard is published as an equivalent standard for 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 thoser

28、ecognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental climatic,geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientific justification, or the level of protection thatthe country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editoria

29、l changes.Reasons for differences from IECAt present there is no IEC standard for bare and covered ferrules. Therefore, this standard does notemploy any IEC standard for base requirements.InterpretationsThe interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standa

30、rd isbased on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the proceduralrules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has beenJANUARY 12, 2018CSA-C22.2 NO. 291-14 UL 486F4identified, a revision is to be proposed

31、 as soon as possible to each of the standards developmentorganizations to more accurately reflect the intent.JANUARY 12, 2018 CSA-C22.2 NO. 291-14 UL 486F 51 Scope1.1 These requirements cover bare and covered ferrules intended for field wiring and factory wiring foruse in accordance with the Nationa

32、l Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 and Canadian Electrical Code, CSAC22.1.1.2 These ferrules are intended to facilitate the connection of stranded wire on to devices, such asterminal blocks. Their purpose is to treat stripped wire and prevent turned back strands during installation.They are intended to

33、 be used to attach to one stranded copper conductor or two stranded copperconductors of the same size.1.3 These ferrules are suitable for use with 1/0 20 AWG, 50 0.5 mm2, stranded copper conductors.1.4 These ferrules are intended to be terminated in wire connection devices rated for solid conductors

34、.1.5 Ferrules are not intended for use in IDC (insulation displacement connection) terminal blocks.1.6 This standard does not apply to wire connectors such as pin adapters covered in CSA C22.2 No. 65or UL 486A-486B.2 Reference Publications2.1 Normative referencesWhere reference is made to any Standa
