23、CTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface (UL) This UL Standard is based on IEC Publication 60691: fourth edition Thermal-links Requirements and application guide. IEC Publication 60691 is copyrighted by the IEC. Efforts have been made to synchronize the UL edition number with that of
24、 the corresponding IEC standard with which this standard is harmonized. As a result, one or more UL edition numbers have been skipped to match that of the IEC edition number. The text, gures and tables of IEC Publication Thermal-links Requirements and application guide, 60691, copyright 2015, are us
25、ed in this Standard with the consent of the IEC and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The IEC copyrighted material has been reproduced with permission from ANSI. ANSI should be contacted regarding the reproduction of any portion of the IEC material. The IEC Foreword and Introduction
26、are not a part of the requirements of this Standard but are included for information purposes only. Copies of IEC 60691 may be purchased from ANSI, 11 West 42 nd Street, New York, New York, 10036, (212) 642-4900. Note Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope,
27、 it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.

28、ENCES GENERAL National Differences from the text of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Publication 60691, Thermal-links Requirements and application guide copyright 2015 are indicated by notations (differences) and are presented in bold text. There are ve types of National Differences a
29、s noted below. The difference type is noted on the rst line of the National Difference in the standard. The standard may not include all types of these National Differences. DR These are National Differences based on the national regulatory requirements. D1 These are National Differences which are b
30、ased on basic safety principles and requirements, elimination of which would compromise safety for consumers and users of products. D2 These are national differences from IEC requirements based on existing safety practices. These requirements reect national safety practices, where empirical substant
31、iation (for the IEC or national requirement) is not available or the text has not been included in the IEC standard. DC These are National Differences based on the component standards and will not be deleted until a particular component standard is harmonized with the IEC component standard. DE Thes
32、e are National Differences based on editorial comments or corrections. Each national difference contains a description of what the national difference entails. Typically one of the following words is used to explain how the text of the national difference is to be applied to the base IEC text: Addit
33、ion / Add - An addition entails adding a complete new numbered clause, subclause, table, gure, or annex. Addition is not meant to include adding select words to the base IEC text. Modication / Modify - A modication is an altering of the existing base IEC text such as the addition, replacement or del
34、etion of certain words or the replacement of an entire clause, subclause, table, gure, or annex of the base IEC text. Deletion / Delete - A deletion entails complete deletion of an entire numbered clause, subclause, table, gure, or annex without any replacement text. JUNE 30, 2016 EIA 60691 UL 60691
35、 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION THERMAL-LINKS REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION GUIDE FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for stan
36、dardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic elds. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes Inte
37、rnational Standards, Technical Specications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in
38、 this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
39、organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the
40、form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpr
41、etation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or
42、 regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certication bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried o
43、ut by independent certication bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees
44、 for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the
45、Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held r
46、esponsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60691 has been prepared by subcommittee 32C: Miniature fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002, Amendment 1: 2006 and Amendment 2: 20
47、10. This fourth edition constitutes a technical revision. This fourth edition includes the following signicant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: JUNE 30, 2016 EIA 60691 UL 60691 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION
