25、TED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover electric booster water heaters, electric commercial storage tank water heaters, and remote control assemblies for such heaters, rated 600 volts or less, t

26、o be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and that meet at least one of the following conditions: a) Over 120 gallons (454 L) in capacity; b) Rated over 12 kilowatts; or c) Equipped with one or more temperature-regulating controls that permit a wat

27、er temperature of more than 85C (185F). 1.2 These heaters are intended for installation in accordance with model mechanical and plumbing codes. 1.3 An electric water heater not exceeding 120 gallons (454 L) capacity, rated no more than 12 kilowatts, and equipped with a temperature-regulating thermos

28、tat having no marked dial setting more than 77C (171F) and provided with a stop to prevent adjustment to a higher setting, shall be judged in accordance with the requirements in the Standard for Household Electric Storage Tank Water Heaters, UL 174. 1.4 These requirements do not cover electric boile

29、rs, commercial cooking appliances, medical and dental equipment, or other electric heating equipment or appliances that are covered in or as part of individual requirements that are separate from this standard. Electrode type boilers are not covered by these requirements. 1.5 In the following text,

30、a requirement that applies only to booster water heaters or to commercial storage-tank water heaters is so identied by a specic reference in that requirement to the equipment involved. Absence of such a specic reference or use of the term water heater indicates that the requirement applies to all of

31、 the equipment covered in this standard unless the context indicates otherwise. MARCH 29, 2016 UL 1453 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in this clause, a component of a product covered by

32、this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See the individual sections of this standard for component requirements. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the compo

33、nent in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance

34、capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses a

35、re explanatory or approximate information. 3.2 Unless indicated otherwise, all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are root mean square (rms). 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as

36、 referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions shall apply. 5.2 BOOSTER WATER HEATER A water heater furnishing hot water from initially heated water, which is usually 60C (140F), with the minimum output water tempera

37、ture being 77C (171F). 5.3 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS a) Line Voltage Circuit A circuit involving a potential of no more than 600 volts and having circuit characteristics in excess of those of a low voltage circuit. b) Low Voltage Circuit A circuit involving a potential of no more than 30 volts rms (42.4 v

38、olts peak) supplied by a battery or by a standard Class 2 transformer or other transforming device, or by a combination of transformer and xed impedance having output characteristics in compliance with requirements established for a Class 2 transformer. A circuit obtained by connecting resistance in

39、 series with a line voltage supply circuit as a means of limiting the voltage and current is not considered to be a low voltage circuit. MARCH 29, 2016 UL 1453 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 5.4 ENCLOSURE The part of an ele

40、ctric water heater that surrounds insulated and uninsulated current-carrying live parts and that is intended to contain a re resulting from an electrical fault. 5.5 FRAME A structure of angle or channel or a folded rigid section of sheet metal that is rigidly attached to and has essentially the same

41、 outside dimensions as the enclosure surface and that has sufficient torsional rigidity to resist the bending moments which may be applied via the enclosure surface when it is deected. 5.6 HEATING ELEMENT ACCESSORY An attachment to the water heater that will allow electrical rating modication. The h

42、eating element accessory consists of a heating element(s), a new rating label, and associated hardware to mount the element(s). 5.7 OPERATING CONTROL A control intended to start or regulate the appliance during normal operation. An example would be a water temperature-regulating control. An operatin

43、g control could provide Type 1 or Type 2 action. (See denitions 5.13 and 5.14.) 5.8 OUTER JACKET The part of the water heater that surrounds the storage tank and that is intended to provide mechanical protection for the tank and for thermal insulation when the insulation is provided. The outer jacke

44、t also serves as an enclosure of current-carrying parts and insulated conductors between heating elements in separate control or wiring compartments. 5.9 PROTECTIVE CONTROL A control intended to prevent the risk of electric shock, re, or injury to persons during abnormal operation of the appliance.

45、An example would be a water temperature limit control. A protective control always provides Type 2 action. (See denitions 5.13 and 5.14.) 5.10 QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL Persons having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to: a) Perform tasks in service access areas of the equipm

46、ent; and b) Be aware of risks of injury to which they are exposed in performing a task, and of measures to minimize these risks to themselves or other persons. 5.11 SAFETY CONTROL A control that is relied upon to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons for example, an interlock.

47、A safety control may include such devices as relays, switches, interlocks, and other auxiliary equipment used to form a safety control system. 5.12 TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE An automatic resetting pressure relieving device actuated by water pressure or an integral thermal element that is in

48、contact with and responsive to the heated water. 5.13 TYPE 1 ACTION Automatic action for which the manufacturing deviation and the drift of its operating value, operating time, or operating sequence have not been declared and tested to the Standard for Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and
