26、UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common UL and ULC Standard for Suspended Ceiling Power Grid Systems and Equipment. It is the First edition of both CAN/ULC-S2577 and ANSI/UL 2577. This Joint Standard was pr

27、epared by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., ULC Standards, and the Technical Committee on Solid State Lighting (TCSSL). The standard was formally approved by the UL/ULC Technical Committee on Solid State Lighting (TCSSL). The efforts and support of the Technical Committee are gratefully acknowledged.

28、Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety wa

29、rnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages. Annexes A and B, both identifed as normative, form a mandatory part of this Standard. Note: Al

30、though the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This Standard is published as an identical standard b

31、etween UL and ULC Standards. An identical standard is a standard that is the same in technical content except for conicts in Codes and Governmental Regulations. Presentation shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivale

32、nt standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately

33、reect the intent.

34、nded for installation and use in accordance with the: In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, CSA C22.1, In the United States: National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.2 The suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage systems covered

35、 by this standard are intended to be installed as a suspended ceiling grid that provides mechanical support for the ceiling tiles and provides electrical connections between the low voltage/extra-low voltage power supply and the low voltage/extra-low voltage equipment. The low voltage/extra-low volt

36、age system consists of the following components: a) An isolating type low voltage/extra-low voltage power supply with output(s) operating at 30 V (42.4 V peak) or less and not exceeding Class 2 power limits, b) A grid rail power distribution system to provide power from the Class 2 power supply to o

37、ne or more pieces of Class 2 powered equipment, and c) Class 2 powered equipment that is electrically connected to the suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage system. 1.3 The suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage system is intended to be permanently connected, for indoor

38、dry locations, and installed in accordance with the following requirements: In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, CSA C22.1, and the National Building Code of Canada. In the United States: National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, the Internat

39、ional Building Code (IBC), and the International Mechanical Code (IMC). This standard also covers suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage systems intended for use in air-handling spaces.

43、lectrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70; or c) Emergency systems as dened by Article 700 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.5 This standard does not evaluate the suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage system for seismic requirements in accordance with the: In Canada: Nat

44、ional Building Code of Canada. In the United States: International Building Code (IBC). 1.6 This standard does not evaluate the suspended ceiling grid low voltage/extra-low voltage systems for re resistance. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this standa

45、rd shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Annex A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard.
