3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. NOTE 1 An Index of the defined terms is provided at the end of this publication. NOTE 2 When the terms “voltage” and “current” are used, they are r.m.s. values, unless otherwise specified. 3.1 Definitions relating to physical characteristics 3.1 .1 rated voltage voltage assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer 3.1 .2 rated voltage range voltage range assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer, expressed by its lower and upper limits 3.1 .3 working voltage maximum voltage to which the part under consideration is subjected when the appliance is supplied at its rated voltage and operating under normal operation, with controls and switching devices positioned so as to maximize the value NOTE 1 Working voltage takes into account resonant voltages. NOTE 2 When deducing the working voltage, the effect of transient voltages is ignored. 3.1 .4 rated power input power input assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer NOTE If no power input is assigned to the appliance, the rated power input for heating appliances and combined appliances is the power input measured when the appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. 3.1 .5 rated power input range power input range assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer, expressed by its lower and upper limits 3.1 .6 rated current current assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer NOTE If no current is assigned to the appliance, the rated current is – for heating appliances, the current calculated from the rated power input and the rated voltage; – for motor-operated appliances and combined appliances, the current measured when the appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. 3.1 .7 rated frequency frequency assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer 3.1 .8 rated frequency range frequency range assigned to the appliance by the manufacturer, expressed by its lower and upper limits 3.1 .9 normal operation conditions under which the appliance is operated in normal use when it is connected to the supply mains 3.1 .1 0 rated impulse voltage voltage derived from the rated voltage and the overvoltage category of the appliance, characterizing the specified withstand capability of its insulation against transient over- voltages 3.1 .1 1 dangerous malfunction unintended operation of the appliance that may impair safety 3.1 .1 2 remote operation control of an appliance by a command that can be initiated out of sight of the appliance using means such as telecommunications, sound controls or bus systems NOTE An infra-red control by itself is not considered one used for remote operation. However, it may be incorporated as part of a system such as a telecommunication, sound control or bus system. 3.2 Definitions relating to means of connection 3.2.1 supply leads set of wires intended for connecting the appliance to fixed wiring and accommodated in a compartment within or attached to the appliance 3.2.2 interconnection cord external flexible cord between two parts of an appliance, provided as part of a complete appliance for purposes other than connection to the supply mains NOTE In battery-operated appliances, if the battery is placed in a separate box, the flexible lead or flexible cord connecting the box with the appliance is considered to be an interconnection cord. 3.2.3 supply cord flexible cord, for supply purposes, that is fixed to the appliance 3.2.4 type X attachment method of attachment of the supply cord such that it can easily be replaced NOTE The supply cord may be specially prepared and only available from the manufacturer or its service agent. A specially prepared cord may include a part of the appliance. 3.2.5 type Y attachment method of attachment of the supply cord such that any replacement is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person
