Interim Energy Efficiency Certification and Verification Requirements for Household Clothes Washers
This Technical Information Letter (T.I.L.) has been prepared to offer an alternative path to calculate modified energy factor (MEF), water consumption factor (WF), total annual energy consumption (E), clothes container capacity (VC) and per cycle electrical energy consumption for removal of moisture (DE) for household clothes washer if manufacturers choose to use
the new US DOE test procedure (10…
This Technical Information Letter (TIL) has been prepared to announce CSA's early adoption of approved requirements for rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) pressure pipe, PVC injection-moulded gasketed pressure fittings, and molecularly oriented polyvinylchloride (PVCO) pressure pipe.
Interim Certification Requirements for Photovoltaic (PV) DC Arc-Fault Protection (DC-AFP)
This Technical Information Letter (T.I.L.) applies to DC arc-fault protective-devices (DC-AFPDs) and devices incorporating arc-fault circuit protection intended for use in direct current circuits having a maximum voltage rating of 1000V. A DC-AFPD is intended to detect and mitigate the effects of arcing faults, which may pose a risk of fire ignition under certain conditions if the arcing persists…
Interim Certification Requirements for Connectors Intended for use in Photovoltaic Systems
This Technical Information Letter is based on CSA Standard C22.2 No. 182.3 ?Special use attachment plugs, receptacles, and connectors.? Basic requirements for special use connectors contained in the standard have been supplemented with additional construction and test clauses to address harsh environmental conditions expected during the intended usage of the connectors in photovoltaic systems.
These requirements apply to assemblies of resistors, enclosures, and other components to provide high impedance grounding for the purpose of controlling the ground fault current or the
voltage to ground of an alternating current system, when installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
Interim Energy Efficiency Certification and verification Requirements for Household Refrigerators, R...
This Technical Information Letter (T.I.L.) has been prepared to offer an alternative path to calculate annual energy consumption (AEC), adjusted volume (AV) of household refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers and freezers if manufacturers choose to use the new US DOE test procedure (10 CFR Part 430 Subpart B Appendix A and Appendix B) instead of CAN/CSA C300-08. Manufacturers have the option of…
