38、HER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover commercial and household electric equipment for use on or in aquariums in indoor locations at 300 volts or less, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, such as heaters, pu
39、mps, lters, aerators, reectors, hoods, electrically wired stands, and similar equipment. 1.2 These requirements do not cover: a) Illuminators or stands not specically intended for use with aquariums or b) Aquarium tanks except when part of the tank acts as enclosure or water barrier for ttings, such
40、 as, but not limited to, lter, heating, or UV units that are integrated into the base or wall of the aquarium tank. 1.3 Aquarium equipment involving tungsten-halogen or high intensity discharge lamps shall comply with the additional applicable requirements specied in the Standard for Portable Electr
41、ic Luminaires, UL 153. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 Unless otherwise indicated, all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 3 Undated R
42、eferences 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 4 Glossary 4.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 4.2 APPLIANCE COUPLER A single-o
43、utlet, female contact device for attachment to a exible cord as part of a detachable power-supply cord to be connected to an appliance inlet (motor attachment plug). 4.3 APPLIANCE (FLATIRON) PLUG An appliance coupler type of device having a cord guard and a slot conguration specied for use with heat
44、ing or cooking appliances. 4.4 APPLIANCE INLET (MOTOR ATTACHMENT PLUG) A male contact device mounted on an end product appliance to provide an integral blade conguration for the connection of an appliance coupler or cord connector. 4.5 AQUARIUM APPLIANCE An appliance falling within the scope of thes
45、e requirements. Requirements that apply only to specic appliances are identied by reference in the text to such specic appliances.

46、RIUM STAND Equipment intended to support an aquarium. Such a stand may contain lamps for illumination, heater elements to control the temperature of the aquarium, and other aquarium- related appliances and devices. 4.7 AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED An appliance is considered to be automatically controlle
47、d under any one or more of the following conditions: a) If the repeated starting of the appliance, beyond one complete, predetermined cycle of operation to the point where some form of limit switch opens the circuit, is independent of any manual control. b) If, during any single, predetermined cycle
48、 of operation, a motor is caused to stop and restart one or more times. c) If, upon energizing the appliance, the initial starting of a motor is likely to be intentionally delayed beyond conventional starting. d) If, during any single, predetermined cycle of operation, automatic changing of the mech
49、anical load is likely to reduce the motor speed sufficiently to reestablish starting winding connections to the supply circuit. 4.8 COMPONENT A device or fabricated part of the appliance covered by the scope of a safety standard dedicated to the purpose. When incorporated in an appliance, equipment otherwise typically eld installed (e.g. luminaire) is considered to be a component. Unless otherwise specied, materials that compose a device or fabricated part, such as the
