33、enable an enclosure to meet the rain test specied in 6.2.10 of ANSI C37.20.1-2002. 5.2 A gasket of an elastomeric or thermoplastic material or a composition gasket utilizing an elastomeric material employed to make an enclosure rainproof shall comply with 5.3 and 5.4. 5.3 If an enclosure is provided

34、 with a rubber or rubber-like gasket, samples of the gasket shall be subjected to a temperature of 70 1C (158 1.8F) in circulating air for 168 hours. The tensile strength after the exposure shall not be less than 60 percent and the elongation shall not be less than 75 percent of the values determine

35、d with unaged samples. 5.4 A gasket of thermoplastic material, or a composition thereof, may be accepted after consideration of the effects of heat aging, distortion under conditions of use, and the means of securing the gasket to the cover or enclosure. 6 Primary or Power Carrying Circuits 6.1 Gene

36、ral 6.1.1 The requirements of this section shall be applied in addition to those specied in 7.1.1 of ANSI C37.20.1-2002. 6.2 Bus bars 6.2.1 The bending of a bus bar shall not result in visible cracks, but roughening or slight surface crazing is acceptable. 6.2.2 A bolted joint involving aluminum bus

37、 bars shall comply with the requirements of 6.2.3 and 6.2.4, unless: a) A spring washer as described in 6.2.6 is used at one end of each bolt securing current- carrying parts together is used, or b) A locknut or a split-ring lock washer and a at washer as described in 6.2.5 is used and each aluminum

38、 bus in the joint has a tensile yield strength of at least 20,000 psi (138 MPa). c) A at washer, as described in 6.2.5, and aluminum bolts are used with aluminum bus bars. 6.2.3 A switchgear bus, as mentioned in 6.2.2, that employs a bolted joint construction with aluminum bus bars shall be subjecte

39、d to the test described in 6.2.4. The temperature rise at the joint during the 500th cycle shall not be more than 15C (27F) higher than the temperature rise at the 25th cycle. Exception: Constructions described in 6.2.2 (a), (b), or (c), need not comply with this requirement. FEBRUARY 18, 2016 UL 15

40、58 9UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 6.2.4 The test sample is to consist of an assembly of bus bars connected together to form a series circuit. The bus bars are to be clamped together with the joint construction used in actua

41、l production. The number and size of the bus bars are to represent the maximum ampere rating and the maximum current density in which the joint construction is to be employed. This may necessitate more than one test. The length of each bus bar is to be not less than 2 ft (610 mm). The bus bar is to

42、be connected to a power supply by any convenient means that will not affect the joint temperature. The power supply is to be adjusted to deliver a value of current that will result in a temperature of 75C (135F) above room temperature at the joint. The assembly is then to be subjected to a 500 cycle

43、 test. At the end of the 24th cycle, the current is to be readjusted to bring the temperature of the joint to 75C (135F) above room temperature. At the end of the 25th and 500th cycles, the temperatures are to be recorded. The temperatures are to be measured on both sides of the joint as close as po

44、ssible to the bolt. The cycling rate is to be 3 hours on and 1 hour off. The on period during which temperatures are recorded may be extended to more than 3 hours if necessary for the joint to attain thermal equilibrium. 6.2.5 The at washer mentioned in 6.2.2 (b) and (c) shall have a nominal thickne

45、ss of at least 1/6 that of the diameter of the bolt and shall have an outer diameter at least 150 percent of bolt and not less than the outer diameter of any spring washer employed. 6.2.6 A typical spring washer as mentioned in 6.2.2 is a dished washer of stainless, or hardened and tempered steel, h

46、aving an outer diameter not less than 150 percent of the bolt diameter, a thickness not less than 1/8 of the bolt diameter, and nominally dished not less than 3-1/2 percent of the bolt diameter. Other congurations are acceptable if they provide equivalent spring action. 6.2.7 A construction other th

47、an described in 6.2.2 may be accepted if it is investigated and found acceptable for the particular application. 6.2.8 Unless investigated for such use, a bolted connection between two bus bars or between a bus bar and another current carrying part shall not depend on any polymeric insulation to mai

48、ntain the clamping force and shall not depend on thermoplastic material in any case. 6.2.9 When bolts, nuts, and washers are provided for connecting through bus to other sections, the length of the bolts shall be such that spacings in accordance with Table 12.1 are maintained. 6.2.10 A bus bar or un

49、insulated live part, other than a pressure wire connector as mentioned in the Exception of 12.2.7, shall be secured so that ordinary vibration will not loosen the securing means, and shall be prevented from turning or shifting in position if any spacings less than half those indicated in Table 12.1 would result from such turning or shifting. A bus bar provided with one or more insulators that must be removed when a unit is installed shall be prevented from any turning that would result
