14. Construction Grounding & Bonding Grounding & Bonding -Grounding of all dead metal parts should be available if they can become energized by a single fault condition -Un-insulated metal parts that are likely to become energized and provide a shock hazard in normal operation or service must be bonded for grounding

15. Construction - A separate bonding conductor or strap must be used - Be protected from damage or located within enclosure - Be secured by a bolt, clamp, rivet, etc. and be able withstand a temperature of 850º F

16. Construction Protection Against Shock, Fire, Personnel Injury Protection Against Shock, Fire, Personnel Injury - means should be designed into the product to protect individuals - the degree of protection is based on the nature of the device, for example 1. degree of exposure

17. Construction 2. Sharpness of moving parts 3. Risk of unintentional contact with moving parts 4. Speed and movement of moving parts 5. Risk of fingers, hair, clothing, etc. being drawn into moving parts.

18. Construction Components Components - Attachment Plugs & Receptacles (UL 498) - Filters, Electromagnetic Interference (UL 1283) - Motors, Electric (1004) - Printed-Wiring Boards (UL 796)

19. Construction - Switches, Snaps, General-use (UL 20) - Wires & Cables, Thermal plastic-Insulated (UL 83)

20. Performance Tests General Power General Power –Device should be powered at rated voltage and normal operating Hz –An IR test should be conducted at 250 VDC with a resistance > 30 kohms

21. Performance Tests Starting Current Test Starting Current Test - Device should be powered on 3 times sequentially at rated voltage and current without tripping fuse or over-current protection devices. - Device should be at room temperature for each test and the motor can come to a complete rest prior to the next test

22. Performance Test Leakage Current Test Leakage Current Test - measurement of leakage current that are present under normal and signal fault conditions on conductive surfaces or ground.
