9.3: SMAlux A19 smart LED light bulb UL certified

UL LLC is a global safety consulting and certification company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. It maintains offices in 46 countries. Established in 1894 as the Underwriters’ Electrical Bureau (a bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters).

And it was known throughout the 20th century as Underwriters Laboratories and participated in the safety analysis of many of that century’s new technologies.

UL is one of several companies approved to perform safety testing by the U.S. federal agency Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

OSHA maintains a list of approved testing laboratories, which are known as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.

9.3.1 History

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. was founded in 1894 by William Henry Merrill.

Early in his career as an electrical engineer in Boston, a 25-year-old Merrill was sent to investigate the World Fair’s Palace of Electricity.

Upon seeing a growing potential in his field, Merrill stayed in Chicago to found Underwriters Laboratories.

Merrill soon went to work developing standards, launching tests, designing equipment and uncovering hazards.

Aside from his work at UL, Merrill served as the National Fire Protection Association’s secretary-treasurer (1903–1909) and president (1910–1912) and was an active member of the Chicago Board and Union Committee.

In 1916, Merrill became UL’s first president.

UL published its first standard, “Tin Clad Fire Doors”, in 1903.

In 1905, UL established a Label Service for certain product categories that require more frequent inspections.

In 1906, UL introduced the UL Mark to indicate products that had passed their testing.

UL inspectors conducted the first factory inspections on labeled products at manufacturers’ facilities.

UL has expanded into an organization with 64 laboratories, testing and certification facilities serving customers in 104 countries.

It has evolved from its roots in electrical and fire safety to address broader safety issues, such as hazardous substances, water quality, food safety, performance testing, safety and compliance education and environmental sustainability.

On January 1, 2012, Underwriters Laboratories transformed from a non-profit organization to a for-profit company in the U.S.

9.3.2 General

A temperature is considered to be constant if:

1. a) The test has been running for at least 3 hours, and
2. b) Three successive readings, taken at 15 minute intervals, are within 1 °C of one another and are still not rising.

# A thermocouple junction and the adjacent thermocouple lead wire shall be securely held in thermal contact with the surface of the material of which the temperature is being measured.

In most cases, adequate thermal contact will result from securely cementing the thermocouple in place.

If a metal surface is involved, brazing or soldering the thermocouple to the metal might be necessary.

# The temperature of a winding shall be measured by a thermocouple or by the rise of resistance method in accordance with Clause 10.7.

# The temperature of a winding shall be calculated by the following formula:

In which:
TH is the temperature of the coil in degrees C at the end of the test, normalized for a target ambient temperature, normally 25℃.

RH is the resistance of the coil, in ohms, at the end of the test.

RC is the resistance of the coil, in ohms, at the beginning of the test.

TC is the temperature of the coil in the degree C at the beginning of the test when RC is measured.

K is 234.5 for copper or 225.0 for electrical conductor grade (EC) aluminum. Values of the constant for other grades must be determined.

TAT is the target ambient temperature, normally 25 ℃, unless the device is being tested for a higher ambient rating such as 440, 55, 65, etc. degrees C, and

TA is the temperature of the ambient air in degrees C at the end of the test when RH is measured.

# As it is generally necessary to de-energize the winding before measuring R, the value of R at the end of the test may be determined by taking several resistance measurements at short intervals, beginning as quickly as possible after the instant of shutdown.

A curve of the resistance values versus time may be plotted and extrapolated to give the value of R at the end of the test.

10.3.8 Dielectric voltage-withstand test

# The supply for the test shall be generated by an electronic power supply having a voltage distortion of less 0.5 percent. Since the source (supply) voltage will affect the magnitude of the harmonics, for measuring purposes, the supply impedance shall be 0.08 ohm. For some electronic supplies it will be necessary to add resistance to obtain the specified supply impedance.

# The magnitude of the various harmonics of the supply frequency shall be recorded to the thirty-third (33) harmonic. The harmonic factor is the ratio of the harmonic content to the rms value of the fundamental. The harmonic factor (HF) shall be calculated as follows:
