1 .1 These requirements cover cord-connected, relocatable power taps rated 250 V AC or less and 20 A AC or less. A relocatable power tap (RPT) is intended only for indoor use as a temporary extension of a grounding alternating-current branch circuit for general use. 1 .2 A cord-connected product with less than three receptacle outlets that employs an electromagnetic interference filter or a transient voltage surge suppressor is covered under the Standard for Electromagnetic Interference Filters, UL 1 283, and the Standard for Surge Protective Devices, UL 1 449, respectively. 1 .3 A cord-connected product with three or more receptacle outlets that employs an electromagnetic interference filter shall also comply with the Standard for Electromagnetic Interference Filters, UL 1 283. A cord-connected product with three or more receptacle outlets that employs a transient voltage surge suppressor shall also comply with the Standard for Surge Protective Devices, UL 1 449. 1 .4 Telephone equipment and communication circuit protectors included in a RPT shall comply with the requirements in the Standard for Telephone Equipment, UL 1 459, and the requirements in the Standard for Secondary Protectors for Communications Circuits, UL 497A, respectively. 1 .5 A RPT that incorporates an antenna discharge unit or provides antenna connections to a television, a high-voltage video product, or antenna shall comply with the applicable requirements in the Standard for Antenna Discharge Units, UL 452, and the Standard for Audio-Video Products and Accessories, UL 1 492. 1 .6 A cord-connected product that employs ground-fault protection is investigated under the requirements in the Standard for Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters, UL 943.
2 General 2.1 Components 2.1 .1 Except as indicated in 2.1 .2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard. 2.1 .2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1 .3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1 .4 Specific components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated, all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard.
3 Glossary 3.1 MEANS FOR TEMPORARY MOUNTING – A mounting method that does not require the use of tools for mounting or dismounting the RPT and conceals the head of a screw or other fastener so that it cannot be tightened after the RPT is mounted. 3.2 OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (OCP) DEVICE – A supplementary protection device provided within a RPT that provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It is not intended to be a substitute for branch circuit protection. 3.3 RELOCATABLE POWER TAP (RPT) – A RPT consists of an attachment plug cap and a length of flexible cord terminated in an enclosure in which are mounted one or more receptacles. A RPT may be provided with suitable supplementary overcurrent protection, switches, and indicator lights singly or in any combination. A RPT containing three or more receptacles may also employ a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) and/or an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. 3.4 SUPPLEMENTARY PROTECTION DEVICE – A device intended for use as overcurrent, over- temperature, or over- or under-voltage protection within a RPT where branch circuit overcurrent protection is already provided. CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 Only materials that are suitable for the particular use shall be used in a RPT. 4.2 If a RPT employs a decorative feature, such as a rock, bird or animal, it shall be designed so that the addition of the decorative feature part(s) does not: a) Interfere with the function or temporary mounting means described in Section 8; b) Reduce the outlet face contact area required by 1 3.6; c) Interfere with turning the power ″on″ or ″off ″ using the switch provided on the RPT; or d) Interfere with an attachment plug from fully seating in the outlet slot(s) of the RPT. 4.2 effective July 2, 2009UL 1363-2007 pdf download.
