Bulletin Dated: April 17, 2007

SUMMARY OF TOPICS

The following changes in requirements are being proposed:

1. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete reference to Annex 101 DVA since IEC standard now includes horsepower ratings.

2. For Preliminary Review Only: Harmonization of IEC utilization categories with the UL ratings for control of external loads

3. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Table 5.5DV.1 and associated references to standard VA ratings based on size of contactor.

4. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 6.2DV.3.3 requiring marking for separately provided, poly-phase overload relays.

5. For Preliminary Review Only: Reduce number of marking locations in Table 6.2DV.1 to three.

6. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 6.2DV.3.5 marking requirements for overload relays with removable current elements. (This proposal is related to Topic 17)

7. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 8.1DV.2.1 requiring a stop on an instantaneous trip circuit breaker.

8. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 8.1.5.1DV and all sub-clauses requiring handle position marking.

9. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 8.2.5DV.1.2 allowing testing of contactor to be waived when tested as a starter.

10. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 8.2.5DV.1.4 requiring testing of self-protected manual combination motor contoller with a separate remote controlled motor controller.

11. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 9.1.5DV.1 as this testing is optional.

12. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 9.3.3.2.2DV.1 requiring calibration testing of devices with overload relay to be tested with largest wire that will fit into terminal.

13. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 9.3.3.2.2DV.2 addressing the sizing of wire for calibration testing.

14. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 9.3.3.2.2DV.3 relating sizing of wire for calibration testing to trip marking on relay.

15. For Preliminary Review Only: Delete Clause 9.3.3.2.2DV.4 regarding selection of samples for calibration testing.

16. For Preliminary Review Only: Revise Table 8.2.2DV.1 to reference K (Kelvin) instead of C (Celsius) for temperature rises.

17. For Preliminary Review Only: Revise Clause 9.3.4.2.3.DV.4.1 part (d) to eliminate need for reconducting short circuit testing on overload relays where there has been current element burnout. (This proposal is related to Topic 6)
