16、ing (volts), ac power frequency (Hz), and voltage protection ratings (volts orkilovolts) as described in 79.3. For a two-port SPD, the ratings shall include the load current rating(amperes). Type 1 and 2 SPDs shall also be provided with In and MCOV ratings. Type 1 SPDs, Type 2SPDs and Permanently-Co
17、nnected Type 3 (other than receptacle type) SPDs intended to be installed atthe utilization equipment being protected, shall also be provided with a Short Circuit Current Rating(SCCR).Exception: SCCR is not required for Type 1 and Type 2 Component Assemblies for N-G applicationsonly.80.2A Type 1 and
18、 2 Component Assemblies intended only for N-G applications shall be marked “N-GApplications Only “. Alternatively, the wiring terminals may be marked N and G.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:If a complete SPD is evaluated as SPD Type 1 or Type 2, Current Testing is not required across the N-Gmode.If a compone
19、nt is submitted for evaluation as SPD Type 1 or Type 2 Component Assembly (CA), it isrequired to have a SCCR and be submitted to SCCR and Intermediate Current Testing.If an SPD with only N-G protection is submitted, since it would not have a SCCR it cannot be consideredaType1or2CA.To address this un
20、ique case, this proposal allows a N-G only Type SPDs to be evaluated as SPD Type1 or 2CA without a SCCR, but with a distinct marking.Note: Proposal is only applicable for Recognized Components and not for Listed products.Copyright 2014 Underwriters Laboratories Inc.UL, in performing its functions in
