28、r-dryers shall comply with this Standard and also with the require- ments of CSA Standard C22.2 No. 112, Clothes-Drying Machines). Where more than one Standard applies preference shall be given to that Standard considered to require the highest minimum standard of construction. 4. CONSTRUCTION 4.1 G
29、eneral 4.1.1 Electric component parts shall be types specifically approved for the use intended, or shall be investigated as an integral part of, and with the equipment. 4.1.2 Electric components and auxiliary electric equipment shall con- form to the particular Standard covering such components and
30、 shall also be suitable for the particular application. 4.1.3 When failure of switches (timer, float, pressure, etc.) or other controls, during normal or improper operation or use, is likely to result in flooding of the equipment, the machine shall meet the requirements of Clause 6.13. 4.2 Enclosure
31、s 4.2.1 General 4.2.1.1 Electrical equipment shall have enclosures of non-com- bustible absorption-resistant material except as permitted by Clauses 4.2.1.2 to 4.2.1.4, which shall enclose all live parts excluding supply cords. Tubs, frames, belt guards etc., shall have the strength and rigidity nec
32、essary to resist the abuses to which they are liable to be subjected without increasing the fire and accident hazard due to loosening or displacement of parts, partial collapse with resulting reduction of spacings, or other serious defects. 4.2.1.2 Unless electrical equipment is otherwise enclosed,
33、the walls and tops of free-standing machines forming an enclosure for live parts shall be of: (a) Noncombustible material; (b) Self-extinguishing plastic composition, as determined by ASTM Standard D635, Method of Test for Flammability of Rigid Plastics over 0.050 inch in Thickness; (c) Combustible
34、material, coated with a suitable fire-retardant paint; or (d) Slow-burning combustible material. Where (d) applies, live parts including wiring shall be spaced not less than 1/2 inches from such material, unless suitable barriers (e.g. metal baffles, wire screens) of noncombustible material are prov
35、ided. 4.2.1.3 The bottom of free standing machines shall be: (a) Of noncombustible material; (b) Of slow-burning combustible material; or (c) Open. ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINES 9 Where (b) or (c) apply, and electrical equipment is not otherwise suit- ably enclosed, provision shall be made to prevent mo
36、lten metal, burning insulation, or the like from falling upon the supporting surface beneath the machine or on the enclosure bottom if tests show that a fire hazard is liable to occur (see Clause 6.10); bare or insulated live parts shall be located at least 2 inches above the level of the lower edge
37、s of the side walls or the enclosure bottom, except that switches, having open contacts, shall be located at least 15 inches above the machine supporting surface or enclosure bottom unless suitable barriers or the equivalent are provided. Where (c) applies, and electrical equipment is not otherwise
38、suitably enclosed, the side walls shall, in addition to the foregoing, extend to within 3 inches of the floor. 4.2.1.4 Recessed machines shall have front panels which comply with the requirements in Clause 4.2.1.2 and enclosure bottoms which comply with the requirements in Clause 4.2.1.3. NOTE: Sinc
39、e recessed machines of the “skeleton“ type may be enclosed by wooden panels on installation, such machines will be judged under the requirements of Clause 4.2.1.2(d). 4.2.1.5 Top and side walls forming enclosures for live parts of machines, shall be firmly held in place by fastening means that requi
40、re the use of a tool for their release. 4.2.1.6 Doors or covers, required to be opened for normal adjust- ment or cleaning, or to gain access to a coin vault, shall not expose bare live parts, except as permitted by Clauses 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.3. 4.2.2 Openings in Enclosures 4.2.2.1 Ventilating and oth
41、er openings in external enclosures shall be constructed, located, or baffled so as to prevent a rod, as specified in Clauses 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3, from being inserted to touch bare live parts or coil windings. 4.2.2.2 An opening which will permit a %-inch diameter rod to enter an enclosure, shall not
42、 permit such a rod to contact bare live parts or coil windings within the space indicated by the dimension “X“ in Figure 1.
