UL 60730-2-14

Description / Abstract: In general, this part of IEC 60730 applies to automatic ELECTRICAL CONTROLS for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household and similar use. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof.

NOTE 1 Throughout this standard the word "equipment" means "appliance and equipment."

EXAMPLE 1 CONTROLS for appliances within the scope of IEC 60335.

This International Standard is applicable to CONTROLS for building automation within the scope of ISO 16484.

This standard also applies to automatic ELECTRICAL CONTROLS for equipment that may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used in shops, offices, hospitals, farms and commercial and industrial applications.

EXAMPLE 2 CONTROLS for commercial catering, heating and air-conditioning equipment.

This standard is also applicable to individual CONTROLS utilized as part of a CONTROL system or CONTROLS which are mechanically integral with multifunctional CONTROLS having non-electrical outputs.

EXAMPLE 3 Independently mounted water valves, CONTROLS in smart grid systems and CONTROLS for building automation systems within the scope of ISO 16484-2.

This standard is also applicable to relays when used as CONTROLS for IEC 60335 appliances. Additional requirements for the safety and OPERATING VALUES of relays when used as CONTROLS for IEC 60335 appliances are contained in Annex U.

NOTE 2 These requirements are referred to in the scope of IEC 61810-1.

NOTE 3 This standard is intended to be used for the testing of any stand-alone relay which is intended to be used as a CONTROL of an appliance according to IEC 60335-1. It is not intended to be used for any other stand-alone relay, or to replace the IEC 61810 series of standards.

This standard does not apply to automatic ELECTRICAL CONTROLS intended exclusively for industrial process applications unless explicitly mentioned in the relevant part 2 or the equipment standard.

This standard applies to CONTROLS powered by primary or secondary batteries, requirements for which are contained within the standard, including Annex V.

This International Standard applies to the inherent safety, to the OPERATING VALUES, OPERATING TIMES, and OPERATING SEQUENCES where such are associated with equipment safety, and to the testing of automatic ELECTRICAL CONTROL devices used in, or in association with, equipment.

This standard applies to CONTROLS using THERMISTORS, see also Annex J.

This standard is also applicable to the FUNCTIONAL SAFETY of LOW COMPLEXITY SAFETY RELATED SYSTEMS and CONTROLS.

This standard does not take into account the RESPONSE VALUE of an AUTOMATIC ACTION of a CONTROL, if such a RESPONSE VALUE is dependent upon the method of mounting the CONTROL in the equipment. Where a RESPONSE VALUE is of significant purpose for the protection of the USER, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate household equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer shall apply.

This standard applies also to CONTROLS incorporating ELECTRONIC DEVICES, requirements for which are contained in Annex H.

This part of IEC 60730 applies to electric actuators for use in, on, or in association with equipment for household and similar use for heating, air-conditioning and ventilation. The equipment may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc., or a combination thereof.

This part 2 applies to electric actuators using NTC or PTC THERMISTORS, additional requirements for which are contained in annex J.

This part 2 applies to the inherent safety, to the OPERATING VALUES, OPERATING TIMES and OPERATING SEQUENCES where such are associated with equipment safety and to the testing of electric actuators used in, on or in association with, equipment for household and similar use for heating, air-conditioning and ventilation.

Requirements for specific OPERATING VALUES, OPERATING TIMES and OPERATING SEQUENCES may be given in the standards for appliances and equipment.

Throughout this part 2 the word ″equipment″ means ″appliance and equipment.″

Electric actuators for equipment not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless may be used by the public, such as equipment intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this part 2.

This part 2 does not apply to electric actuators designed exclusively for industrial applications.

This part 2 does not apply to electric actuators which are mechanically integral with valves.

See IEC 60730-2-8, Particular requirements for electrically operated valves, including mechanical requirements and IEC 60730-2-17, Particular requirements for electrically operated gas valves.

This part 2 does not apply to electric motors, requirements for which are contained in IEC 60034.

DE Modification of 1.1.1 by adding the following after the first paragraph:

In IEC terminology, ″safety″ is defined as an acceptable level of risk. This is consistent with the intention of UL requirements to reduce the risk of fire, shock or injury to persons.

DC Replacement of third note to 1.1.1 with the following:

See UL 60730-2-8, Particular requirements for electrically operated valves, including mechanical requirements or the Standard for Electrically Operated Valves, UL 429.

This part 2 does not apply to electric motors, requirements for which are contained in UL 1004 series of standards.

D2 Modification of 1.1.1 by adding the following paragraph:

This standard also applies to electric actuators used in commercial and industrial applications where no other standard currently covers the product.

DR Modification of 1.1.1 by adding the following paragraph:

Electric actuators intended for plenum use are covered under the scope of this standard.

Requirements for manual switches not integral with an electric actuator are contained in IEC 61058-1.

DC Replacement of 1.1.2 with the following:

Requirements for manual switches not integral with an electric actuator are contained in UL 61058-1 or UL 1054

This part 2 applies to electric actuators with a RATED VOLTAGE not exceeding 690 V and with a RATED CURRENT not exceeding 63 A.

Modification of 1.2 by adding the following text:

The maximum voltage is 600 V. The maximum current is unlimited.

This part 2 does not take into account the RESPONSE VALUE of an AUTOMATIC ACTION of an electric actuator, if such a RESPONSE VALUE is dependent upon the method of mounting the electric actuator in the equipment. Where a RESPONSE VALUE is of significant purpose for the protection of the USER, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate household equipment or as determined by the manufacturer shall apply.

This part 2 applies also to electric actuators incorporating electronic devices, requirements for which are contained in annex H.
