Chemical compatibility is a rough measure of how stable a substance is when mixed with another substance. [1] If two substances can mix together and not undergo a chemical reaction, they are considered compatible. Incompatible chemicals react with each other, and can cause corrosion, mechanical weakening, evolution of gas, fire, or other ...
Standards that have been updated include UL 365, UL 603, UL 609, UL 636, UL 1076, UL 1610, and UL 1635, among others. [ 16 ] This standard specifies the technical criteria for various components and aspects of the alarm systems, such as installation requirements, enclosures, electrical protection, field wiring connections, internal wiring, and ...
Below is a list of NEMA enclosure types; these types are further defined in NEMA 250- Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. Each type specifies characteristics of an enclosure, but not, for example, a specific enclosure size. Note that higher numbers do not include the lower-numbered tests. For example, types 3, 4 and 6 are intended for outdoor ...
The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) is used to measure the electrical breakdown (tracking) properties of an insulating material.Tracking is an electrical breakdown on the surface of an insulating material wherein an initial exposure to electrical arcing heat carbonizes the material.
The UL enterprise [4] is a global private safety company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, composed of three organizations, UL Research Institutes, UL Standards & Engagement and UL Solutions. Established in 1894, the UL enterprise was founded as the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau (a bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters ), [ 5 ...
In geochemistry, compatibility is a measure of how readily a particular trace element substitutes for a major element within a mineral. Compatibility of an ion is controlled by two things: its valence and its ionic radius. [1] Both must approximate those of the major element for the trace element to be compatible in the mineral.
IEC EN 61000-3-4, Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 3-4: Limits - Limitation of emission of harmonic currents in low-voltage power supply systems for equipment with rated current greater than 16 A (note: for currents > 16 A and ≤ 75 A per phase this standard should be replaced with IEC EN 61400-3-12)
UL 94, the Standard for Safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances testing, is a plastics flammability standard released by Underwriters Laboratories of the United States. [1] The standard determines the material's tendency to either extinguish or spread the flame once the specimen has been ignited.
