Examples include incandescent lamps, LEDs (light-emitti

41、ng diodes) and clusters of LEDs. 6.2 LAMP DISCONNECT MECHANISM A mechanism that disconnects an incandescent lamp from its supply circuit and prevents the ignition of a specied surrounding ammable gas or vapor-air atmosphere when the glass bulb surrounding the lamp lament is broken. 6.3 PRIMARY BATTE

42、RY A battery that can be discharged only once. It is not designed to be rechargeable. 6.4 SECONDARY BATTERY A battery that is intended to be discharged and recharged multiple times. 6.5 NONINCENDIVE CIRCUIT A circuit, other than eld wiring, in which any arc of thermal effect produced under intended

43、operating conditions of the equipment is not capable, under specied test conditions, of igniting the ammable gas-air, vapor-air, or dust-air mixture. 6.6 MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE The highest temperature reached on a specied component of the device under normal operating conditions. 6.7 PROTECTIVE

44、 COMPONENT OR ASSEMBLY A component or assembly that is so unlikely to become defective in a manner that will lower the ignition safety of the circuit that it may be considered not subject to fault when analysis or tests for ignition safety are conducted.
