24、ION FROM UL Preface This is the harmonized CSA Group and UL standard for insulated multi-pole splicing wire connectors. It is the rst edition of CSA C22.2 No. 2459 and the rst edition of UL 2459. This harmonized standard has been jointly revised on January 31, 2014. This harmonized standard was prep
25、ared by the CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee for Connectors, of the Council on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This Standard is con
26、sidered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Electrical Connectors, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requir
27、ements 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 reference is made to a specic number of samples to be teste
28、d, 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 its suitability for their particular purpose. Level
29、of harmonization This 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 equivalent standard for CSA Group and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as
30、follows: Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as those recognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the le
31、vel of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences from IEC At present there is no IEC standard for insulated multi-pole splicing wire connectors. Therefore, this standard does not employ any IEC standard for
32、base requirements. JANUARY 31, 2014 CSA C22.2 NO. 2459-08 UL 2459 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based o
33、n the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development
34、 organizations to more accurately reect the intent. CSA Group Effective Date The effective date for CSA Group will be announced through CSA Informs or a CSA certication notice. UL Effective Date As of January 31, 2014, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this
35、 standard. A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.

36、I-POLE SPLICING WIRE CONNECTORS 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard covers insulated multi-pole mating or non-mating splicing wire connectors intended for eld wiring and factory wiring for use in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, in Canada, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, in the Uni
37、ted States. 1.2 These wire connectors are intended to facilitate the connection of devices, such as prefabricated wiring assemblies, smoke detectors, and lighting products, to the branch circuit conductors of buildings. 1.3 These requirements also cover luminaire disconnects that are used; a) intern
38、al to luminaires to facilitate replacement of the ballast or b) for LED retrot applications. Luminaire disconnects are not to be directly attached to the branch circuit conductors for the purpose of interrupting (making and breaking) branch circuit conductors. Luminaire disconnects may have one or m
39、ore conductors per contact. 1.4 These wire connectors are suitable for use with 30 to 6 AWG (0.05 to 13.3 mm 2 ) stranded copper conductors and 30 to 10 AWG (0.05 to 5.3 mm 2 ) solid copper conductors. 1.5 These wire connectors are suitable for currents not exceeding the ampacity of insulated conduc
40、tors or as rated by the manufacturer. Note: The ampacity of insulated conductors 14 AWG (2.1 mm 2 ) and larger is determined in accordance with the values in the Assigned maximum ampere rating column, under the heading Copper , in Table 7 of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 65 or UL 486A-486B. In Canada, the maxim
41、um ampacity of insulated conductors 14 AWG (2.1 mm 2 ) and smaller is determined in accordance with Table 12 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. 1.6 These wire connectors are suitable for voltages not exceeding 600 V. 1.7 This Standard does not apply to (a) splicing wire connectors intended for
42、 direct burial; (b) insulated splicing wire connectors intended for use at voltage levels exceeding 600 V (1000 V in a sign or luminaire); (c) terminal wire connectors; (d) wire binding screw terminals; (e) built-in terminal connectors on devices having integral cable clamps; (f) at quick-connect te
43、rminals; (g) devices, such as wire connectors and soldering lugs, that are covered by (i) CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 65 or UL 486A-486B; JANUARY 31, 2014 CSA C22.2 NO. 2459-08 UL 2459 6AUL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL (ii) CAN/CSA-C22
