15、m marked voltage but no less than 120 volts.bMaximum marked voltage but no less than 240 volts.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:There is a trend that pumps start to use ECM motors (motors with integrated controls). Since UL 778currently requires the use of an AC dielectric test potential, which may produce di
16、electric leakage currentsthrough the capacitors connected to the earth of control AC circuit and trip the dielectric test equipment(false test failure), but the test does not result in an actual breakdown of insulation.This Certification Requirement Decision includes an additional option of using a
17、DC potential as analternative method of conducting the dielectric voltage test for both type and routine (production linetesting). This is a common practice across many standards, including the standard UL 1004-1 for motorsand UL 507 for fans.This alternate method represents the current practice.Cop
