Scope:

1.1
This Standard covers requirements for devices to detect certain out of parameter conditions of supply voltage and/or load current and mitigate, by circuit interruption, the effects of
(a) overload within utilization equipment; or
(b) over- or under-voltage, or both,
that can pose a risk of fire ignition under certain conditions.

These devices are to be incorporated in certified (end) products intended for use on alternating current (ac) circuits of 120 V, 60 Hz, up to 20 A in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
