26、 NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover electric luminaires for installation below the surface of the water in swimming pools, permanently installed spas, hot tubs, and similar water-containing vessels inte

27、nded to accommodate the complete or partial immersion of persons, and for operation on supply circuits rated 150 volts or less, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements also cover: a) Metal luminaire housings (forming shells) for use with wet-niche luminaires

28、intended for installation as described in 1.1; b) Mounting brackets for use with no-niche luminaires intended for installation as described in 1.1; and c) Electric luminaires and junction boxes for installation in fountains and similar water- containing vessels not intended to accommodate the comple

29、te or partial immersion of persons. 1.3 These requirements do not cover junction boxes for use in swimming pools and spas, ground-fault circuit-interrupters, transformer enclosures, or transformers used for the supply of underwater luminaires. 1.4 A wet-niche luminaire as covered by these requiremen

30、ts is one intended for installation in a metal luminaire housing (forming shell) mounted in or on the wall of a swimming pool or fountain where the luminaire will be surrounded by water. The luminaire is supplied by a exible cord of sufficient length to permit the luminaire to be removed from the ni

31、che and lifted to the deck for servicing. 1.5 A dry-niche luminaire as covered by these requirements is one intended to be permanently mounted and sealed in the wall of a swimming pool or fountain. It is equipped with provisions for conduit connection, and is designed to be serviced from the rear in

32、 a passageway or tunnel behind the wall or from the deck. 1.6 A no-niche luminaire as covered by these requirements is one intended for installation on a mounting bracket that is, in turn, mounted in or on the wall of a swimming pool or fountain where the luminaire will not extend behind the plane o

33、f the wall and will be surrounded by water. The luminaire is supplied by a exible cord of a length that permits the luminaire to be removed from the mounting bracket and lifted to the deck for servicing.

See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components u

35、sed 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 characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this stand

36、ard. 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 construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certai

37、n temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3.2 Unless indicated otherwise, all voltage and curre

38、nt values specied in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 4 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 purpose of this standard

39、 the following denitions apply. 5.2 FRESH WATER Water of electrical resistivity well above that of sea water, generally drawn from lakes, streams, or underground sources and delivered by a private well or a municipality for industrial, commercial or household use. Fresh water treated with salt for c

40、hlorine generation, resulting in electrical resistivity that is typically 89 ohm-centimeters or higher (6000 ppm or less), is still considered fresh water for the purposes of this standard. 5.3 SEA WATER Water of electrical resistivity on the order of 22 ohm-centimeters, representative of water foun

41、d in open seas and sometimes used (for therapeutic purposes) in swimming pools.

42、NSTRUCTION LUMINAIRES 6 General 6.1 A luminaire shall be constructed to provide mechanical strength appropriate for the stress it is likely to encounter during installation and use. 6.2 A luminaire shall be constructed to provide an enclosure for all electrical parts, including the lamp bulb. Except

43、ion No. 1: The lens face of a PAR lamp is not required to be enclosed. Exception No. 2: Flexible cord, attachment plugs, receptacles, and cord connectors are not required to be enclosed in an electrical enclosure when the luminaire and its installation complies with requirements for Flexible Cord an

44、d Connectors, Section 10. 6.3 A luminaire rated more than 15 volts and provided with a PAR lamp shall be provided with a guard, grid, or an outer lens. 6.4 A luminaire intended to be mounted facing upward shall have the lens guarded to prevent contact by any person. 6.5 All metal parts of a luminair

45、e, including assembly rivets, screws, and the like, shall be of a corrosion resistant metal. Copper alloy parts normally in contact with water shall have a zinc content not in excess of 15 percent. Aluminum and aluminum alloys shall not be used for any part of a luminaire normally in contact with wa

46、ter. Iron and steel parts made resistant to corrosion by plating, galvanizing, or equivalent means are permitted. Exception No. 1: Metal parts that are completely encapsulated by a potting compound that complies with the Outline of Investigation for Potting Compounds for Swimming Pool, Fountain, and

47、 Spa Equipment, UL 676A, need not be corrosion resistant. Exception No. 2: Metal parts whose deterioration from corrosion will not adversely affect compliance per (a) (d) below need not be corrosion resistant: a) Spacings requirements of Section 23, through migration or settling of particles to crea

48、te a conductive path across insulating materials; b) Bonding requirements of Section 26; c) Temperature Test of Section 33, through loss of heatsinking or reectance; or d) Electric Shock Test of Section 41, through loss of current-collection capacity.
