20、 MARKING 25 General 21 JUNE 14, 2004 UL 497B 4UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover protectors for data communications and re-alarm circuits. 1.2 As covered by these requirements, d

21、ata communications circuit protectors and re-alarm circuit protectors consist of single- and multiple-pair air-gap arresters, gas-tube arresters, or solid-state arresters, with or without fuses or other voltage-limiting devices. Data communications circuit protectors and re-alarm circuit protectors

22、are intended to protect equipment, wiring, and personnel against the effects of excessive potentials and currents caused by lightning in communications alarm-initiating or alarm-indicating loop circuits. 1.3 This standard does not cover the following: a) Lightning protective devices for the protecti

23、on of primary distribution wiring systems and equipment such as AC branch circuit protection. b) Antenna discharge units for radio- and television-receiving appliances. c) Lightning conductor and air terminals for connection of lightning rods for building protection. d) Protective devices to be used

24、 on telephone lines or telephone lines connecting to the telecommunication networks. 1.4 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those in use when the standard was developed, and that involves a risk of re, electric shock, or injury

25、to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the level of safety for the user of the product as originally anticipated by the intent of this Standard. 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.

26、1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by

27、 this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use.

28、ON FROM UL 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction 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. 2

29、.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2.2 Unless indicated otherwise all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 A

30、ny 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. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 APPLIQUE UNIT An arrester assembly provided w

31、ith leads for connection across eld terminals. 3.3 ARRESTER A device intended to limit voltage by use of two or more electrodes in an enclosed medium or a solid-state conductor. It may also contain elements that prevent overheating when carrying fault currents. 3.4 BREAKDOWN The abrupt transition of

32、 the gap resistance from a practically innite value to a relatively low value. In the case of a gap, this is sometimes referred to as sparkover or ignition. 3.5 DIRECT CURRENT (DC) BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE The voltage at which a protector changes from nonconduction to conduction when the DC potential is in

33、creased at a rate of 100 volts per second. 3.6 PROTECTOR A device intended to provide transient protection for low voltage DC or AC circuits. The protector uses a base assembly and an arrester that may be a solid-state device, a gas tube, an air gap unit such as a carbon arrester, or similar device.

34、 AC circuits are dened as audio or alternating- current circuits that are isolated from AC branch circuits by a transformer.

35、r shall be constructed to withstand, without damage, its intended installation and use and shall comply with the performance requirements specied in Sections 11 24. 4.2 A protector mounted or soldered directly to a printed-wiring board shall comply with the spacing requirements in 9.1. When an insul

36、ating barrier or enclosure is used, the material shall be acceptable for the purpose. 4.3 An arrester shall not have provision for adjustment of the electrode gap. 5 Enclosures 5.1 General 5.1.1 An enclosure for protectors shall have the strength and rigidity to resist total or partial collapse with

37、 attendant reduction of spacings, loosening or displacement of parts, or other conditions that could impair the operation of the product or result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons. 5.1.2 Enclosures for individual components, outer enclosures, and combinations of the two are cons

38、idered in determining compliance with 5.1.1. 5.1.3 A protector enclosure shall have provision for mounting. 5.2 Sheet metal 5.2.1 The thickness of sheet metal used for an enclosure of a protector shall not be less than the applicable value specied in Table 5.1 or 5.2. Exception: Sheet metal of lesse

39、r thickness is not prohibited from being used when, considering the shape, size, and function of the enclosure, it provides equivalent mechanical strength to an enclosure of the thickness specied.

40、WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 5.3 Nonmetallic 5.3.1 An enclosure of nonmetallic material for a protector shall have the mechanical strength and durability acceptable for the application and be formed so as to cover all current-carrying parts.

44、 an enclosure intended for outdoor use (watertight) shall be at least 0.036 inch (0.91 mm) thick if zinc- coated and at least 0.032 inch (0.81 mm) thick if uncoated. a A supporting frame is a structure of angle or channel or a folded, rigid section of sheet metal that is rigidly attached to - and ha

45、s essentially the same outside dimensions as - the enclosure surface and that has sufficient torsional rigidity to resist the bending moments that may be applied via the enclosure surface when it is deected. A structure that is as rigid as one built with a frame of angles or channels is considered t

Constructions considered to be without supporting frames include: 1) A single sheet with single formed anges (formed edges), 2) A single sheet that is corrugated or ribbed, and 3) An enclosure surface loosely attached to a frame, such as by spring clips. b The width is

47、 the smaller dimension of a rectangular sheet-metal piece that is part of an enclosure. Adjacent surfaces of an enclosure may have supports in common and be made of a single sheet. c For panels that are not supported along one side (for example, side panels of boxes) the length of the unsupported si

48、de shall be limited to the dimensions specied unless the side in question is provided with a continuous ange at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide.
