I
33、t is the First edition ofCSA C22.2 No. 305 and the First edition of UL 489B.This harmonized standard was prepared by CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Theefforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee, THSC 121A, Photo Voltaic CircuitBreakers on the Harmonization of
34、 Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA),are gratefully acknowledged.This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of thestandard.This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Molded Case Circuit Breakers for PVAppli
35、cations, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSAStrategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved bythe CSA Technical Committee.This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institu
36、te (ANSI) as an AmericanNational Standard.Application of StandardWhere reference is made to a specific number of samples to be tested, the specified number is to beconsidered a minimum quantity.Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important t
37、o note thatit remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.Level of HarmonizationThis 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 identical stan
38、dard for CSA Group and UL.An identical standard is a standard that is exactly the same in technical content except for nationaldifferences resulting from conflicts in codes and governmental regulations. Presentation is word for wordexcept for editorial changes.Reasons for Differences From IECThis st
39、andard provides requirements for molded-case circuit breakers, molded-case switches, andcircuit-breaker enclosures for use with photovoltaic (PV) systems for use in accordance with the electricalinstallation codes of Canada and the United States. At present there is no IEC standard for these product
40、sfor use in accordance with these codes. Therefore, this standard does not employ any IEC standard forbase requirements.MARCH 7, 2016 CSA C22.2 NO. 305-16 UL 489B 5InterpretationsThe interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard isbased on the litera
41、l text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the proceduralrules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has beenidentified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards developmentorganization
42、s to more accurately reflect the intent.MARCH 7, 2016CSA C22.2 NO. 305-16 UL 489B6Molded-Case Circuit Breakers, Molded-Case Switches, and Circuit-Breaker Enclosures for Use with Photovoltaic (PV) SystemsALL DEVICESINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 These requirements cover molded-case circuit breakers, molded-c
43、ase switches, and circuit-breakerenclosures rated up to 1500 V dc, intended for use with photovoltaic (PV) systems and Ref.

44、1.3 These requirements do not cover molded-case circuit breakers or molded-case switches intended foruse in battery circuits.2 Components2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with therequirements for that component. See Annex A for a list of
45、standards covering components generally usedin the products covered by this Standard. A component shall comply with the CSA and UL Standards asappropriate for the country where the product is to be used.2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that:a) Involves a feature
46、or characteristic not required in the application of the component in theproduct covered by this Standard; orb) Is superseded by a requirement in this Standard.2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions ofuse.2.4 Specific components are incomp
47、lete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities.Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures notexceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.3 Units of Measurement3.1 The values given in
48、 SI (metric) units shall be normative. Any other values given shall be forinformation purposes only.4 Normative References4.1 Products covered by this Standard shall comply with the referenced installation codes and standardsnoted in Annex B as appropriate for the country where the product is to be
49、used. When the product isintended for use in more than one country, the product shall comply with the installation codes andstandards for all countries where it is intended to be used.MARCH 7, 2016 CSA C22.2 NO. 305-16 UL 489B 74.2 Where reference is made to any Standards, such reference shall be considered to refer to the latesteditions and revisions thereto available at the time of printing, unless otherwise specified.4.3 For products intended for use in Canada, general requirements are given in Ref.
