It is the third edition of NMX-J-520-ANCE, the second editi

31、on of CSA C22.2 No. 144.1, and the fth edition of UL 943. This edition of NMX-J-520-ANCE supersedes the previous edition published on February 1, 2006. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 144.1 supersedes the previous edition published in February 2006. This edition of UL 943 supersedes the previous editi

32、on published on February 1, 2006, and revised on June 29, 2012. This harmonized Standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication (ANCE), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the CANENA Technical Harmonization Subcommittee 23E, Grou

33、nd-Fault Circuit-Interrupters, are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT 23 Accesorios Electricos from the Comite de Normalizacion de la Asociacion

34、de Normalizacion y Certicacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of the ground fault circuit interrupters manufacturers and users. This Standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Product

35、s and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This Standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where referen

36、ce is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although 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

37、its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This Standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor shall it be considered equivalent to, an IEC Standard. This Standard is published as an identical Standard for ANCE, CSA Group, and UL. An identical Standard is a Standard

38、that is exactly the same in technical content except for national differences resulting from conicts in codes and governmental regulations. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences from IEC This Standard provides requirements for ground-fault circuit-interr

39、upters for use in accordance with the electrical installation codes of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. At present there is no IEC Standard for ground-fault circuit-interrupters for use in accordance with these codes. Therefore, this Standard does not employ any IEC Standard for base requireme

43、ircuit-interrupters intended for protection of personnel, for use only in grounded neutral systems in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and Electrical Installations (Use), NOM-001-SEDE. These devices are intended for use on altern

44、ating current (AC) circuits of 120 V, 208Y/120 V, 120/240 V, 127 V, or 220Y/127 V, 60 Hz circuits. Note: In Canada, the text “intended for protection of personnel” is excluded. 1.2 These requirements do not cover ground-fault circuit-interrupters intended for use in circuits served by a transformer

45、having windings wholly insulated from each other. 1.3 This Standard applies to all Class A ground-fault circuit-interrupters. These Class A GFCIs are permitted to be integrated into other devices, in which case, besides complying with this Standard, these devices are to comply with the corresponding

46、 applicable Standard for the device in question. 1.4 This Standard includes minimum requirements for the function, construction, performance, and markings of ground-fault circuit-interrupters included in the scope. 1.5 This Standard is intended to cover only Class A GFCI devices. 1.6 This Standard a

47、lso covers GFCIs of the self contained type that are intended for installation in a counter, such as would be suitable for installation in a kitchen or bathroom counter top. 2 Normative References 2.1 Any normative reference to a code or Standard appearing in the requirements of this Standard shall

48、be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or Standard. See Annex A. 2.2 When a reference is made to another code or Standard, the product shall comply with the installation code or Standard of the country or countries in which the product is intended to be used. 2.3 For products
