  1. Standards & Approvals Global overview CCC RoHS / Weee UL Type E/F – Group UL 508A

  2. Global Markets & Solutions XT IEC Power Control components have been developed as devices for world markets Test Authorities European Conformance Conformite Europeen IEC / EN 60947 Europe CSA Canada UL U.S.A. China Compulsory Certification China Marine & Off-Shore Shipping Classifications Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Norway Lolyd’s Register Great Britain Germanischer Loyd Germany Bureau Veritas (BV) France

  3. ICD Compliance: Gateway to China • The CCC mark is required for specified products for sale in China • Chinese GB standards are similar to IEC standards • ICD Products requiring the CCC mark are: • Low-voltage motor control components, auxiliary contacts • Pushbuttons, relays above 36V and below 1000V • Indicator lights, changeover switches, limit switches • Low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies • XT complies with and is marked with CCC

  4. ICD Compliance: Gateway to China • ICD products in process for CCC marking: • S801 N, R, T, V frames pending • Partial Freedom line pending • 50mm DP line in process • IT contactors/starters have Certified Body certificates, could be CCC certified by repeating EMC tests in Chinese lab.

  5. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) • European Union Directive • Requires the marking and registration of specific electrical & electronic products, primary focus is consumer goods. • Requires the collection and reuse or recycling at the end of the product life cycle. • The cost is borne by the producer or importer of the equipment. Recycleable product marking

  6. Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) • European Union Directive • Restricts the use of several hazardous substances in certain electrical & electronic products. • Implementation date is July 2006 • Restricted substances • Hexavalent Chromium • PBB & PBDE • Mercury • Cadmium • Lead • XT will conform by end of 2005 • Minor modifications to screw heads and large contactor pcb’s

  7. Meeting UL Type E / Type F with XTPR MMP + XTCE Contactors + = Manual Type E Controller plus contactor = Type F Combination Motor Controller

  8. UL 508 File Table 76.2

  9. UL Applicatons – Group, Type E & F Standard NEC Panel Group Motor Installation Panel SCPD - Circuit Breaker or Fuse SCPD - Circuit Breaker or Fuse MMP Alone (contactor optional) Typical Full Voltage Starters M M M M M M UL508 Type E MMP Panel UL508 Type F CMC Panel Non-Fusible Disconnect(Upstream SCPD needed) Non-Fusible Disconnect(Upstream SCPD needed) CMC + Line Side Adapter (contactor included) MMP+ Line Side Adapter Alone (contactor optional) M M M M M M

  10. Applications: Group Motor Installation • Group Motor Installations • NEC Group Motor rules in Article 430-53 • UL requires that overload and controller be listed for Group Motor applications • Magnetic (short circuit) trip of the MMP provides excellent group motor ratings • Up to 65kA maximum available short circuit current • XTPB & XTPR devices are UL Listed for Group Installations • See Application Manual for more information

  11. UL Distinctions – UL 508 Type E • UL 508 Type E Manual Self Protected Combination Starter (MMP Alone) • Single Device having integral short circuit protection, a main set of contacts, and motor overload protection • Legitimate short circuit protective device & disconnect means for the down stream motor • Still requires an upstream feeder short circuit protective device but does not require a dedicated in branch circuit protection or disconnect means • The unit clears a fault and does not experience welding of the power poles • Remains fully functional should a short circuit within its ratings occur • XTPR 32 & 63amp are UL Listed as Type E devices

  12. UL Distinctions – UL 508 Type F • UL 508 Type F Combination Motor Controller (CMC) • CMC consists of a Line Side Adapter, MMP, Wiring Connector Link and XTCE Contactor • MMP is a self-protected manual combination starter and provides complete motor branch circuit protection • Disconnecting Means • Short Circuit Protection • Overload Protection • Contactor switches the motor instead of the MMP • Contactor is not self-protected • Provides long life required for most motor switching applications (millions vs. MMP thousands of operations) • Magnetic coil provides for remote control via pushbuttons/PLC • High fault Type 2 coordination achieved without oversizing • XTFC (15, 32 & 52A) are UL Listed as Type F devices

  13. Underwriters LaboratoryUL 508A – Control Panels • Who is UL and what role do they play? • Independent Testing Company • Offering 3rd Party Certification • NEMA Centric, but Going Beyond (cUL) • Consistent with NEC • Offer a Variety of Listing Services • UL 891 – Deadfront Switchboards • UL 1058 – Drawout ACBs • UL 67 – Panelboards • UL 98 – Disconnect Switches • UL 489 – Molded Case Circuit Breakers • UL 508A – Control Panels • UL 508E – Self Protecting MMPs • UL 508F – Combination Motor Controllers (CMCs)

  14. Applying the Standard • Short Circuit Protection – Panel Rating • No change to the standard, but…. • Enforcement Begins April 2006 • Customers will have to label with a value • Customers can use fuse table or listed combinations with breakers

  15. Applying the Standard Short Circuit Current Ratings • Requires marking SCCR (Short Circuit Current Rating) on industrial control panels. • To provide info for safe installation and inspection of panels based on application: i.e. available fault current to panel. •  SCCR of the panel is based on one of the following: • Short circuit rating of a listed and labeled assembly • Short circuit rating established using an approved method – UL 508A-2001 Supplement B is an example • Components not to be considered in Short Circuit Current Ratings • Transformers, reactors, dry-type capacitors, resistors, varistors, and voltmeters

  16. Applying the Standard Short Circuit Current Ratings • OEM / Panelbuilder determines SCCR on panel by: • Short circuit test of the panel construction • Obtain documented tested combinations of components list from a manufacturer who has tested and documented combinations of components, and add these combinations to panelbuilder’s UL procedure. • Evaluate panel per UL508A, Supplement B (required by 4-06 if jurisdiction does not adopt 2005 NEC earlier). • All components in power circuit must have ratings • Panel SCCR is the lowest component short circuit rating • Components or combination of components • Supplement B provides tables of components w/o marked short circuit ratings

  17. ICD Action Plan • Developing list of EE components with short circuit values (cat no., short circuit current at application voltage, UL file info, current limiting yes/no) from UL files. • Developing list of EE combination short circuit values (SCPD cat no., motor control cat no., short circuit current at application voltage, UL file info) from UL files. • Product Line Teams Involved: Power control, Drives, Breakers, Disconnect Switches and Transformers • Provide lists to customers via UL data base and website • Target completion date of August 2005
