11、 UL 962A Supplement SA -Furniture Power Distribution Units Incorporating Batteries.m) Provided with an integral Class 2 lead and mating Class 2 separable interface, or anintegral power supply with one or more Class 2 output connector(s).n) Provided with receptacles with integral power supplies with
12、Class 2 output connectors.13.7 Current Tap13.7.1 The outlet of a current tap shall have the same current rating of 15 or 20 Amps and the samevoltage rating of either 125 or 250 V only as the ANSI/NEMA configuration plug.13.7.2 A current tap shall be of the grounding type. The current tap outlet may
13、be the same or differentslot configuration (locking and non-locking) as the plug.13.7.3 A FPDU may employ a current tap fitting when the power supply cord size and the number ofoutlets, including the outlet of the current tap, do not require supplementary protection. A FPDU may notutilize a current
14、tap when supplementary overcurrent protection is required. See 13.7.4.13.7.4 The outlet of a current tap in a FPDU shall comply with the applicable requirements for a receptacleoutlet in the Standard for Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL 498.
