UL-1086:2016 pdf free download – STANDARD FOR SAFETY Household Trash Compactors.
9 Overload-Protective Devices
9.1 An overcurrent- or thermal-protective device acceptable for the application shall be provided as part of an appliance.
9.2 A protective device, the intended functioning of which requires replacement or resetting, shall be in a readily accessible location.
Exception No. 1: This requirement does not apply to an appliance that complies with all applicable requirements in this standard with the protective device, such as a supplementary fuse, shunted out of the circuit.
Exception No. 2: This requirement does not apply to a protective device that is located where the user would not typically know of the device because of its location and reference to the device is not included in the operating instructions for the appliance.
9.3 A protective device shall be inaccessible from outside the appliance without opening a door or cover, and resetting shall not require exposure of normally protected or enclosed live parts.
Exception: The operating handle of a circuit breaker, the operating button of a manually operable motor protector, and similar parts may project outside the enclosure.
9.4 A door or cover of an enclosure shall be hinged or attached in an equivalent manner if it gives access to any overload protective device, the intended functioning of which requires renewal, or if it is necessary to open the cover in connection with the normal operation of the protective device.
9.5 Means shall be provided for holding a door or cover over a fuseholder closed, and the door or cover shall fit tightly.
10 Mechanical Assembly
10.1 An appliance shall be assembled so that it will not be adversely affected by the vibration of normal operation. Brush caps shall be tightly threaded or otherwise intended to prevent loosening.
10.2 A switch, a lampholder, a motor-attachment plug, and similar components shall be mounted securely, and shall be prevented from turning or shifting. See 10.3.
Exception No. 1: The requirement that a switch be prevented from turning may be waived if all four of the following conditions are met:
a) The switch is a plunger or other type that does not tend to rotate when operated — a toggle switch is considered to be subject to forces that tend to rotate the switch during intended operation of the switch;
b) The means of mounting the switch makes it unlikely that operation of the switch will loosen it,
c) Spacings are not reduced below the minimum acceptable values if the switch does rotate; and
d) Intended operation of the switch is by mechanical means rather than direct contact by persons.
