APPENDIX F
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP TESTS AT UL
GENERAL:
The samples forwarded by the Field Representative to UL in accordance with
Appendix E shall be subjected to the tests described below as specified in the
Index to Testing in Special Appendix F.
ABNORMAL OPERATION (LOCKED ROTOR) TEST:
Method
A sample of the appliance shall be operated as indicated in the Index to
Testing under the heading “Abnormal Operation (Locked Rotor)”. During the
test, one sample of the appliance is to be draped with one layer of
cheesecloth while resting on white tissue paper on a softwood surface. 3 A
non-time delay plug fuse was connected from exposed dead-metal parts to earth
ground. The appliance shall be operated continuously with locked rotor until
ultimate results have been determined. In most cases, continuous operation for
7 h will be necessary in order to make sure that the ultimate results have
been determined.
Basis For Acceptability
There shall be no ignition of the enclosure material, exposure of live parts,
emission of flame or molten metal, nor glowing or flaming of the cheesecloth
or the combustible material upon which the appliance is placed. The 3 A fuse
does not open.
ABNORMAL OPERATION (TRANSFORMER OUTPUT SHORTED) TEST:
Method
A sample of the appliance shall be operated as indicated in the Index to
Testing under the heading “Abnormal Operation(TRANSFORMER OUTPUT SHORTED)”.
During the test, one sample of the appliance is to be draped with one layer of
cheesecloth while resting on white tissue paper on a softwood surface. 3 A
non-time delay plug fuse was connected from exposed dead-metal parts to earth
ground. The appliance shall be operated continuously with transformer output
shorted until ultimate results have been determined. In most cases, continuous
operation for 7 h will be necessary in order to make sure that the ultimate
results have been determined.
Basis For Acceptability
There shall be no ignition of the enclosure material, exposure of live parts,
emission of flame or molten metal, nor glowing or flaming of the cheesecloth
or the combustible material upon which the appliance is placed. The 3 A fuse
does not open.
OUTPUT CURRENT AND POWER TEST:
Method:
- During these tests each unit was placed on a tissue covered soft wood surface and draped with a double layer of cheesecloth. The thermal protector or fuse was shorted.
- The output under test was resistively loaded, including short circuit, to result in maximum output current or power.
- The remaining outputs were open circuited or resistively loaded to result in minimum load. The test was repeated for each output.
- The remaining sections of a tapped winding were open circuited resistively loaded to result in minimum load. The test was repeated for each section of a tapped winding.
- The current and power measurement was taken at 5 s, except 60 s measurement for a linear type unit which (a) may employ a fuse or thermal protector, and (b) does not employ a limiting impedance or electronic limiting component or circuit.
Note to Lab:
For tests specifying output current or power values at 60 s, make periodic
measurements and record the values. If the unit opened prior to 60 s, plot a
graph and fit a curve to calculate the 60 second values. The value is to be
used for determining compliance with current and power limits, and for other
tests which use maximum current or power to calculate overload test
conditions.
Maximum Output Current:
The output under test was resistively loaded, including short circuit, to
result in maximum output current. Without further adjustment of the load, the
supply circuit was de-energized and the sample was allowed to cool to room
temperature. The supply circuit was then re-energized and the output current
was measured 5 s or 60 s, as applicable after application of voltage to the
primary. The current at 5 s or 60 s, as applicable, was recorded.
Maximum Output Power:
The output under test was resistively loaded to result in maximum output power
as determined by a watt meter. Without further adjustment of the load, the
supply circuit was de-energized and the sample was allowed to cool to room
temperature. The supply circuit was then re-energized and the output power was
measured 5 s or 60 s, as applicable, after application of voltage to the
primary. The power at 5 s, or 60 s, as applicable, was recorded.
Basis For Acceptability:
For inherently limited outputs:
- The maximum output current and power did not exceed 8 A and 100 W, respectively, for AC outputs.
- The maximum output current and power did not exceed 8 A and 100 W, respectively, for DC outputs with a maximum voltage of 30 V.
- The maximum output current and power did not exceed 150/Vmax A and 100 W, respectively, for DC outputs with a maximum voltage over 30 V.
For not inherently limited outputs:
- The maximum output current and power did not exceed 1000/Vmax A and 350 W, respectively, for outputs with a maximum voltage of 15 V.
- The maximum secondary current and power did not exceed 1000/Vmax A and 250 W, respectively, for outputs with a maximum voltage over 15 V but not more than 20 V.
- The maximum output current and power did not exceed 1000/Vmax A and 250 W, respectively, for outputs with a maximum voltage over 20 V.
SWITCH OVERLOAD TEST (FOR MOTOR, HEATER SWITCH AND SPEED CONTROL):
Test Method
Testing is to be conducted on the switch or speed control with the switch
making and breaking a load equivalent to the voltage, current, and power
factor encountered in the appliance operated with the motor armature locked in
place. For heater switch, the switch was loaded to 150% of the rated switch
current. The switch is to be mechanically opened and closed for 50 cycles at a
rate of 6 – 10 cycles per minute.
Basis For Acceptability
Following the test, the switch is to remain operable with no evidence of
mechanical or electrical failure.
FOLLOW-UP TEST SELECTION
The samples selected as specified in the Sample Selection Guide of Special
Appendix E shall be subjected to the testing as specified in the Index to
Testing table below. In general, samples are subjected to those tests which
were conducted during the Listing investigation for the product.

APPENDIX G
MANUFACTURER’ S RESPONSIBILITIES, AND REQUIREMENTS FOR FACTORY TESTS
The Follow-Up Service Procedure covering the product is loaned to the
manufacturer and constitutes the basis on which the product is judged for
compliance with the applicable requirements.
PRODUCTION LINE TESTS TO BE WITNESSED BY UL REPRESENTATIVE
- The Field Representative shall witness the following production-line tests as specified in Appendix G, during the inspection. Samples shall be selected, according to the group as specified in table for SAMPLE SELECTION GUIDE – IN FACTORY TESTS.
- The tests to be conducted are described in Appendix G and summarized in table for INDEX TO WITNESS TESTS in Special Appendix G.
- If the manufacturer does not have the facility to conduct the following production line tests, the selected samples shall be forwarded to UL as Follow-Up samples, according to Page 1 of Appendix E, to complete tests described in Appendix G as Follow-Up tests.
WINDING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT:
Method
One sample of motor, shall be subjected to this test. With each of the motors
at room temperatures, the DC coil resistance was measured. One sample for each
model used for winding resistance measurement.
Test Equipment
Ohmmeters of appropriate range are needed and shall be Calibrated laboratory
type.
Basis For Acceptability
If measured winding resistance shall not exceed manufacturer’s winding
resistance by 10%.
PROCEDURE IN CASE OF NONCONFORMANCE:
If measured winding resistance results in a nonconformance, the test shall be
repeated on additional samples. Three additional samples, from the same lot as
the original sample, shall be subjected to the Winding Resistance Measurement
as described in these Appendix Pages. The average measured winding resistance
shall not exceed manufacturer’s winding resistance by 10%.
DIELECTRIC VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TEST (TRANSFORMER):
METHOD:
A sample of transformer is subjected to the following test. The following
potentials were gradually applied between primary and secondary circuits, and
maintained for one min. 1000 plus two times the maximum rated input voltage V
ac; or 1000 plus two times maximum working voltage(for switching-type
transformer) V ac; (+). (+) – The ac potential resulted in excessive leakage
through capacitors.
Therefore, the capacitors were removed from the circuit for the AC potential. With the capacitors connected in the circuit, the unit was subjected to a DC potential of 1.414 times the AC rms potential.
Test Equipment
The equipment used to perform the test shall provide the following features:
- There shall be either a visible or audible means of indicating an electrical breakdown to the operator.
- There shall be either a manually resettable device to restore the equipment after electrical breakdown, or an automatic feature that rejects any nonconforming unit.
- If the output of the test-equipment transformer is less than 500 volt-amperes, the equipment shall include a voltmeter in the output circuit to indicate the test potential directly.
- If the output of the test-equipment transformer is 500 volt- amperes or more, the test potential may be indicated (1) by a voltmeter in the primary circuit or in a tertiary-winding circuit,
(2) by a selector switch marked to indicate the test potential, or (3), in the case of equipment having a single test-potential output, by a marking in a readily visible location to indicate the test potential. When a marking is used to indicate the test potential without an indicating voltmeter, the equipment shall include a positive means, such as an indicator lamp, to indicate that the manually resettable device has been reset following a dielectric breakdown.
Sensitivity Requirements
At least once each year the sensitivity of the dielectric equipment is to be
checked. The sensitivity of the equipment is to be such that when adjusted to
produce the required test voltage and with a 120,000 ohm resistor across the
test terminals, the equipment indicates a “breakdown” (a nonconforming
performance indication by the tester) within 0.5 seconds. The resistor used
shall be provided by the manufacturer and shall have a resistance found to be
equal to or greater than 120,000 ohm when measured using a calibrated ohmmeter
traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). If the
equipment does not meet this sensitivity test, it shall be readjusted and
provision made to maintain the proper calibration
Basis For Acceptability:
The spacings and insulation withstood the application of the specified
potentials for one minute without indication of breakdown.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT VOLTAGE TEST:
Method
One sample of transformer from the end product, shall be subjected to this
test. The maximum output voltage under any load condition, including open-
circuit, between any two output terminations were measured.
Test Equipment
Voltmeters of appropriate range are needed and shall be Calibrated
laboratory type.
Basis For Acceptability
The output voltage does not exceed 42.4 V peak for sinusoidal or non-
sinusoidal ac. The output voltage did not exceed [60 V] [CUL – 42.4 V] for
continuous dc. The output voltage did not exceed 24.8 V for dc interrupted at
a rate of 200 Hz or less with approximately 50% duty cycle.
DC OFFSET VOLTAGE TEST (FOR FAN SPEED CONTROL):
Method
One sample, of the fan speed controller with electrical load, from end
product, was subjected to this test. The controller was mounted and operated
as intended in service. The test included varying the fan speed control over
its full range and varying the trim component (variable resistor) to obtain
all possible conditions of operation. If necessary, several tests were
conducted to determine the setting of the trim component.
The output voltage of a semiconductor-type fan speed control, across test load (motor) is to be measured.
Test Equipment
A voltmeter with a damped frequency response in the 0 to 120 Hz range was used
to measure the dc voltage across the load(motor) and shall be calibrated
laboratory type.
Basis For Acceptability
The output voltage from a semiconductor-type fan speed control shall not have
a dc voltage exceeding 2 volts.

may be achieved by securing, segregating or routing the wire away from such
parts or assemblies. Assemblies which clamp or squeeze wire insulation shall
not be used unless described in the Procedure.
Internal wiring which might make contact with metal parts shall be protected from sharp metal edges. This may be accomplished by rounding or deburring the metal, use of a Recognized Component bushing, or other construction described in the Procedure. Faulty practices which can cause damage to conductors and/or conductor insulation include:
- A. Improper application of crimped connectors.
- B. Improper insulation removal.
- C. Overheating of conductor insulation because of routing or contact with hot surfaces during or after installation.
- D. Use of wire in which the insulation has been cut, cracked, crushed, abraded, etc.
Loose Strands
Ends of stranded conductors shall have all strands contained to prevent
contacting of, or reduction of spacing to, other live parts or dead metal.
Typically, this can be accomplished by:
- A. Tinning.
- B. Inserting properly into suitable wire connectors.
- C. Crimped connectors and/or eyelets with the crimp containing all strands.
- D. Solder lugs.
Solder Connections
All solder connections shall be made mechanically secure before soldering.
Some typical examples of mechanical securement are:
- A. Twisting wire around a solder post which has a change in dimension or restriction so unsoldered wire will not slip off post.
- B. Inserting wire through an opening.
SECUREMENT OF PARTS
In the mounting or supporting of fragile insulating parts, screw or other
fastenings should not be tight enough to cause cracking or breaking of these
parts with expansion and contraction. Generally, the fastening of such parts
should be snug. Uninsulated live parts, components which support live parts,
and dead metal parts, shall be prevented from rotating, or shifting if
movement will result in twisting or stress of internal wiring or connections,
or spacings being reduced below that specified in the Procedure.
A switch, a lampholder, an attachment plug receptacle, a motor attachment plug cap, or other component subject to handling by the user shall be mounted securely and prevented from rotating.
Exception:
Based on engineering considerations certain considerations of securely mounted
push button or plunger type switches, and lampholders of the type in which the
lamp cannot be replaced (such as a neon pilot or indicator light in which the
lamp is sealed in a non-removable jewel) may be excepted from the above. These
constructions are described in the Procedure. However, in no case will
unacceptable spacings be allowed.
Some means commonly used to prevent movement are:
- A. Lockwasher.
- B. Matched keying of the component and its mounting.
- C. Two or more fasteners (screws, rivets, pins, etc.)
- D. Strap, clip, or pin fitted into an adjacent part.
- E. Physical barrier (molded boss, side of enclosure, adjacent component, etc.) which bears against the component.
Heating Elements
A heating element shall be supported in the manner described in the
individual Procedure section.
