41、ed in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements do not cover xed heaters, location-dedicated heaters, baseboard heaters, duct heaters, central-heating furnaces, fan-coil units, panel- or cable-type radiant-heating equipment, electric boi

42、lers, or any other electric heating equipment or appliances that are covered in or as a part of separate, individual requirements. 2 General 2.1 General 2.1.1 If the operation of a heater involves the generation and conning under pressure of steam or other gas, consideration is to be given to the po

43、ssibility of risk of explosion incident to such operation. This applies in the case of an appliance having immersed electrodes, if the electrolysis of water may result in the accumulation of oxygen and hydrogen. The appliance is not acceptable unless its strength is such that it will withstand any r

44、isk of explosion that may be involved. 2.2 Terminology 2.2.1 Unless indicated otherwise, all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are rms. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purposes of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 ANGLE OF CRITICAL BALANCE The minimum angle through which a

45、heater must be tipped to cause it to tip over due solely to the force of gravity. 3.3 APPLIANCE COUPLER A single-outlet, female contact device for attachment to a exible cord as part of a detachable power-supply cord to be connected to an appliance inlet (motor attachment plug). 3.4 APPLIANCE INLET

46、(Motor Attachment Plug) A male contact device mounted on an end product appliance to provide an integral blade conguration for the connection of an appliance coupler or cord connector. 3.5 APPLIANCE (FLATIRON) PLUG An appliance coupler type of device having a cord guard and a slot conguration specie

47、d for use with heating or cooking appliances. 3.6 CHARRING WITH CROSSCHECKING Manifestation of ignition by separation of wood bers in the direction with the grain and also in the direction across the grain. 3.7 COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL HEATER Any heater that is either: a) Rated 2 kilowatts or greater a

48、nd marked as a commercial/industrial heater in accordance with 67.10, MARCH 21, 2014 MOVABLE AND WALL- OR CEILING-HUNG ELECTRIC ROOM HEATERS - UL 1278 9UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL b) Rated greater than 250 volts, c) A pol

49、yphase heater, or d) Rated greater than 6 kilowatts. 3.8 COMPONENT A device or fabricated part of the appliance covered by the scope of a safety standard dedicated to the purpose. When incorporated in an appliance, equipment otherwise typically eld installed (e.g. luminaire) is considered to be a component. Unless otherwise specied, materials that compose a device or fabricated part, such as thermoplastic or copper, are not considered components. 3.9 CONTROL CIRCUIT A circuit
