23、cover electrically-powered hobby and sports equipment rated 250 volts or less for use in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements cover equipment intended for the home entertainment and amusement of adults. 1.3 These requirements do not cove
24、r toys and games intended to be used by children, amusement machines, photographic equipment, or other products that are covered by separate requirements. 1.4 In the following text, a requirement that does not apply to all of the types of products covered by this standard is identied by a specic ref
25、erence in that requirement to the type or types of product involved. Absence of such specic reference or use of the term product indicates that the requirement applies to all types of products unless the context indicates otherwise. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a produ
26、ct covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characterist
27、ic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in cons
28、truction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.

Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3.2 Unless otherwise indicated, all volt
30、age and current values mentioned in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the p
31、urpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 5.2 LINE-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT A circuit involving a potential of not more than 250 volts and having circuit characteristics in excess of those of a low-voltage circuit. 5.3 LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT A circuit involving a peak open-circuit potential of not
32、more than 42.4 volts supplied by: a) A primary battery; b) A Class 2 transformer; or c) A combination of a transformer and a xed impedance that, as a unit, complies with all performance requirements for a Class 2 transformer. A circuit derived from a line-voltage circuit by connecting a resistance i
33、n series with the supply circuit as a means of limiting the voltage and current is not considered a low-voltage circuit. CONSTRUCTION 6 Enclosure 6.1 A product shall have the strength and rigidity necessary to resist the abuses to which it may be subjected, without increasing the risk of re, electri
34、c shock, or injury to persons due to total or partial collapse of the enclosure and resulting reduction of spacing, loosening or displacement of a part, or other malfunction. 6.2 Among the factors taken into consideration when an enclosure is evaluated are its: a) Mechanical strength; b) Resistance
35、to impact; c) Resistance to corrosion; d) Resistance to distortion at temperatures to which the enclosure may be subjected under conditions of normal or abnormal use; and DECEMBER 5, 2014 ELECTRIC HOBBY AND SPORTS EQUIPMENT - UL 961 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR
36、 DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL e) Dielectric properties, insulation resistance, and resistance to arc tracking. 6.3 Cast- and sheet-metal portions of the enclosure shall not be thinner than the applicable value specied in Table 6.1 unless the enclosure is determined to be acceptable when e

40、ns from a moving part, an opening in an enclosure of a product or in a motor shall be investigated as described in (a) or (b). a) For an opening that has a minor dimension (see 7.4) less than 1 inch (25.4 mm), such a part or wire shall not be contacted by the probe illustrated in Figure 7.1. b) For
41、an opening that has a minor dimension of 1 inch or more: 1) A moving part shall be spaced from the opening as specied in Table 7.1, and 2) Neither an uninsulated live part nor lm-coated wire shall be within: i) X inches of the perimeter of the opening; or ii) The volume generated by projecting the p
42、erimeter X inches normal to its plane. X equals ve times the minor dimension of the opening, but not less than 6-1/16 inches (154 mm) see Figure 7.2. Exception No. 1: A motor other than one used in either a hand-held product or a hand-supported portion of a product need not comply with these require
43、ments if it complies with the requirements in 7.2. Exception No. 2: An opening necessary for intended operation of a product need not comply with this requirement.
