31、ationsJune 2014 2014 CSA Group5PrefaceThis is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 304, Enclosed and dead-front switches for photovoltaicapplications, one of a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian ElectricalCode.This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with
32、CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 4, Enclosed and dead-frontswitches. The material in this Standard supplements CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 4 by providing additionalrequirements for switches that are intended for use in photovoltaic applications.For general information on the Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I
33、I, see the Preface ofCAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessmentwithin the stated scope of theStandard.This Standard was prepared by the Subcommittee on Photovoltaic Switches, under the jurisdiction of theTechnical Committee on Industrial Products and t
34、he Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements forElectrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided thefollowing direction for the interpretation of the standards under it
35、s jurisdiction: “Theliteral text shall beused in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literaltext cannot be applied to the product, such as for new materials or construction, and when a relevantcommittee interpretation has not already been published,
36、 CSAs procedures for interpretation shall befollowed to determine the intended safety principle.”Notes:1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to no
37、te that itremains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.3) This Standard was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Codeof good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus
38、implies much more than a simplemajority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included inthe Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.4) To submit a request for interpretation of this Standard, p
39、lease send the following information toinquiriescsagroup.organd include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line:a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include anillustrative sketch;b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the ac
40、tual field condition; andc) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address theissue.Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governingstandardization and are available on the Current Standards Act
41、ivities page at standardsactivities.csa.ca.5) This Standard is subject to review five years from the date of publication and suggestions for its improvementwill be referred to the appropriate committee. To submit a proposal for change, please send the followinginformation to inquiriescsagroup.org an
42、d include “Proposal for change” in the subject line:a) Standard designation (number);b) relevant clause,table, and/or figure number;c) wording of the proposed change; andd) rationale for the change.C22.2 No. 304-14Enclosed and dead-front switches for photovoltaic applicationsJune 2014 2014 CSA Group

44、voltaic fuses covered byCSA C22.2 No. 248.19.1.3General requirements applicable to this Standard are given in the latest edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.1.4This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 4, which specifies additionalmandatory requirements.1.5In this Standar
45、d,“shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged tosatisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or thatwhich is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissiblewithin the
46、limits of the standard.Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of anote accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be wri
