Full Description

Please note: All interim revisions for this edition available at time of your purchase will be included.

These requirements cover discharge-path resistors that are intended to be connected between the antenna and the supply circuit of a radio-, video-, ortelevision-type appliance. The resistors are intended to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock due to the buildup of a static electrical charge on the antennaconnected to the appliance. These resistors are:Rated 1/2 W or greater, Rated 480 k[ohm ] to 12 M[ohm ] for use in a 50/60 Hz, 125 V or less circuit, andRated 960 k[ohm ] to 12 M[ohm ] for use in a 50/60 Hz, 126 - 250 V circuit.

These requirements cover conductive-path resistors, of any rating, intended to be connected between live parts and accessible conductive parts of a radio-,video-, or television-type appliance.

A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, andthat involves a risk of fire or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements tomaintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflictwith specific requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformancewith the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.
