Examples include incandescent lamps, LEDs (light-emitting diodes) an

42、d clusters of LEDs. 6.2 LAMP DISCONNECT MECHANISM A mechanism that disconnects an incandescent lamp from its supply circuit and prevents the ignition of a specied surrounding ammable gas or vapor-air atmosphere when the glass bulb surrounding the lamp lament is broken. 6.3 PRIMARY BATTERY A battery

43、that can be discharged only once. It is not designed to be rechargeable. 6.4 SECONDARY BATTERY A battery that is intended to be discharged and recharged multiple times. 6.5 NONINCENDIVE CIRCUIT A circuit, other than eld wiring, in which any arc of thermal effect produced under intended operating con

44、ditions of the equipment is not capable, under specied test conditions, of igniting the ammable gas-air, vapor-air, or dust-air mixture. 6.6 MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE The highest temperature reached on a specied component of the device under normal operating conditions. 6.7 PROTECTIVE COMPONENT OR
