15、ION)86 Performance86.1 Sections 42 66 of this Standard apply. Additionally, 86.2 86.5 apply.86.2 Maximum normal load, Section 46.2, is considered to be operating continuously feeding bulbs of thetype and size indicated, as quickly as possible as permitted by the machine. If the machine will permitmo
16、re than one bulb to be inserted at a time, a minimum of five bulbs shall be inserted at one time, unlessthe instructions indicate more, or the machine otherwise limits the number of bulbs to a lower amount.During testing, actual lamp bulbs may be substituted by equivalent alternatives (i.e. decorati
17、ve holidayglobes) if the load can be accurately represented.86.3 For abnormal operation test in Section 54, consideration shall be given to objects other than lamps(i.e. brick, paper, general trash, liquid containers) being inserted into the machine.86.4 Continuity Test Of Grounding CircuitSTANDARD
18、NUMBER: UL 73 -2-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL86.4.1 The resistance between the point of connection of the equipment-grounding means, at or within theappliance, and any point in the grounding circuit shall not be more than 0
19、.1 ohm.86.4.2 With reference to 86.4.1, the resistance may be determined by any convenient method. However,if unacceptable results are obtained, an alternating current of at least 20 A from a source of supply of notmore than 12 V is to be passed from the point of connection of the equipment-groundin
20、g means to themetal part in the grounding circuit, and the resulting drop in potential is to be measured between thesetwo points. The resistance in ohms is to be determined by dividing the drop in potential in volts by thecurrent in amperes passing between the two points. The grounding conductor of
21、a power-supply cord isnot to be included in this measurement.86.5 Flexing of Wiring86.5.1 A lamp disposal system in which intended operation of movable parts mechanically affects wiringor other insulated live parts, shall operate successfully in the intended manner for the number of cyclesspecified
22、in 86.5.2 while connected to the intended supply circuit. There shall be no electrical ormechanical breakdown of the appliance and, after the test, the appliance shall comply with therequirements for dielectric voltage-withstand in 40.1.Exception: If an interlock switch de-energizes the wiring or un
23、insulated live parts when flexed, the testmay be conducted without energizing the sample.86.5.2 The number of cycles of flexing is to be:a) Six thousand if flexing occurs only during regular prescribed servicing such as lubrication,resetting of protectors, or the like. Or,b) Thirty thousand if flexi
24、ng occurs only during a machine operation or cycle that occursmanually on a periodic basis, but less than every time a bulb is inserted, such as unloading adebris container, or changing a filter. Or,c) Number of cycles to represent 20 years of extrapolated life of the product, if the cycle occursaut
25、omatically and the cycling rate is limited by the equipment to a rate less than every use ofthe product, such as when crushing or heating after a specified number of uses. The number ofcycles likely to occur in one day, multiplied by 7300, is to be used to determine the cycles fortesting. For exampl
26、e, if the component subject to flexing cycles 2 times per day during normaluse: 2 cycles/day x 7300 days/20 yrs = 14,600 cycles for testing, to represent 20 yrs of life. Or,d) One hundred thousand if flexing occurs during loading of the machine, or during a machineoperation or cycle that occurs duri
27、ng or after each cycle.86.5.3 In a test to determine whether an appliance complies with the requirement in 86.5.1, anymechanical arrangement may be employed to operate the movable member at a rate of approximately 12cycles per minute. Other cycle rate may be used if agreeable to all concerned. The m
28、ovable member isto be operated so that it will reach the actual limits of travel in both directions during each cycle.(NEW SECTION)87 Markings87.1 Section 70 shall apply.

35、TIONALE FOR DECISION:The disposal of lamps (light bulbs) when they have reached end-of life is an increasing challenge,balancing convenience, safety, and environmental concerns simultaneously. Complicating this challengeis the increasing availability of newer energy efficient bulbs including compact
36、 fluorescent lamps (CFL)and LED bulbs, as well as traditional tube-type fluorescent bulbs. Some of these bulbs contain smallamounts of mercury, used commonly in industry to achieve proper illumination characteristics. Themethods, options, and regulations for disposal of these devices present unique
37、challenges.Products have been developed and are on the market which provide a solution, and assist with thedisposal of these lamps.These products are motor operated, and have features similar to waste disposers and trash compactors,but do not compact, bale, or inject waste into a sewer system. Rathe
38、r these products use mechanicalmeans to crush and reduce the volume of debris, which is collected and then disposed of periodically.STANDARD NUMBER: UL 73 -4-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULUL 73 contains requirements for simil
39、ar motor operated devices (i.e commercial trash compactors), aswell as other motor operated devices. This CRD documents the specific requirements that are applicablefrom UL 73 to these devices, as well as, requirements applied from related Standards, including UL 1086.The requirements address the pa
40、rticular hazards presented with these products, including use in acommercial environment by an untrained consumer, accessibility to moving parts, interlocks, outdoor use,and containment of the debris.Copyright 2013 Underwriters Laboratories Inc.UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its
