It is the first editionof CSA C22.2 No. 291 a

22、nd the first edition of UL 486F. This harmonized standard has been jointly revisedon August 7, 2015.This harmonized standard was prepared by the CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Theefforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee for Connectors, of the Council on theHar

23、monization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefullyacknowledged.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of theStandard.This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Wiring Devices for Househol

24、d and GeneralUse, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA StrategicSteering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSATechnical Committee.This standard has been approved by the American National Standards In

25、stitute (ANSI) as an AmericanNational Standard.Application of StandardWhere reference is made to a specific number of samples to be tested, the specified number is to beconsidered a minimum quantity.Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is import

26、ant to note that it remainsthe responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.Level of HarmonizationThis standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is it considered equivalent to, an IEC standard.This standard is published as an equivalen

27、t standard for CSA Group and UL.An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows:Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as thoserecognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for

28、example, because of fundamental climatic,geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientific justification, or the level of protection thatthe country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes.Reasons for differences from IECAt present there is

29、 no IEC standard for bare and covered ferrules. Therefore, this standard does notemploy any IEC standard for base requirements.AUGUST 7, 2015CSA-C22.2 NO. 291-14 UL 486F4InterpretationsThe interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard isbased on the

30、literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the proceduralrules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has beenidentified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards developmentorgani

32、SA-C22.2 NO. 291-14 UL 486F 51 Scope1.1 These requirements cover bare and covered ferrules intended for field wiring and factory wiring foruse in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 and Canadian Electrical Code, CSAC22.1.1.2 These ferrules are intended to facilitate the connec

33、tion of stranded wire on to devices, such asterminal blocks. Their purpose is to treat stripped wire and prevent turned back strands during installation.They are intended to be used to attach to one stranded copper conductor or two stranded copperconductors of the same size.1.3 These ferrules are su

34、itable for use with 1/0 20 AWG stranded copper conductors.1.4 These ferrules are intended to be terminated in wire connection devices rated for solid conductors.1.5 Ferrules are not intended for use in IDC (insulation displacement connection) terminal blocks.1.6 This standard does not apply to wire
