26、UL and ULC Standard for Suspended Ceiling Grid Low Voltage Systems and Equipment. It is the First edition of both CAN/ULC-S2577 and ANSI/UL 2577. This Joint Standard was prepared by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., ULC Standards, and the Technical Committee on Solid State Lighting (TCSSL). The standa
27、rd was formally approved by the UL/ULC Technical Committee on Solid State Lighting (TCSSL). The efforts and support of the Technical Committee are gratefully acknowledged. Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units
28、in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additiona
29、l markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages. Annexes A and B, both identifed as normative, form a mandatory part of this Standard. Note: Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the res
30、ponsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This Standard is published as an identical standard between UL and ULC Standards. An identical standard is a standard that is the same in technical content except for conicts in Cod
31、es and Governmental Regulations. Presentation shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules
32、 of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reect the intent.

33、OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover suspended ceiling grid low voltage systems and equipment intended for installation and use in accordance with the: In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, C
34、SA C22.1, In the United States: National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.2 The suspended ceiling grid low voltage systems covered by this standard are intended to be installed as a suspended ceiling grid that provides mechanical support for the ceiling tiles and provides electrical connection
35、s between the low voltage power supply and the low voltage equipment. The low voltage system consists of the following components: a) An isolating type low voltage power supply with output(s) operating at 30 V (42.4 V peak) or less and not exceeding Class 2 power limits, b) A grid rail power distrib
36、ution system to provide power from the Class 2 power supply to one or more pieces of Class 2 powered equipment, and c) Class 2 powered equipment that is electrically connected to the suspended ceiling grid low voltage system. 1.3 The suspended ceiling grid low voltage system is intended to be perman
37、ently connected, for indoor dry locations, and installed in accordance with the following requirements: In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, CSA C22.1, and the National Building Code of Canada. In the United States: National Electrical Code (NEC)
38、, ANSI/NFPA 70, the International Building Code (IBC), and the International Mechanical Code (IMC). This standard also covers suspended ceiling grid low voltage systems intended for use in air-handling spaces.
