AS NZS 60335.2.43:2018 pdf download.Household and similar electrical appliances- Safety Part 2.43: Particular requirements for clothes dryers and towel rails.
7 Marking and instructions This clause of Part I is applicable except as follows.
7.12 Addition: The instructions for clothes dryers shall include the substance of the following: WARNING: This appliance is intended only for drying textiles washed in water.
7.12.1 Addition: The installation instructions for fixed towel rails shall include the substance of the following: WARNING: In order to avoid a hazard for very young children, this appliance should be installed so that the lowest heated rail is at least 600 mm above the floor. The instructions for fixed towel rails likely to be used in a bathroom shall state that the towel rail is to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower. This instruction is not necessary if the towel rail is at least IPX4.
8 Protection against access to live parts This clause of Part I is applicable.
9 Starting of motor-operated appliances This clause of Part 1 is not applicable.
10 Power input and current This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
11 Heating This clause of Part I is applicable except as follows.
11.1 Addition: Towel rails are also subjected to the test of 11.101.
11.4 Addition: If the temperature rise limits are exceeded in appliances incorporating motors, transformers or electronic circuits, and the power input is lower than the rated power input, the test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage.
11.6 Addition: Combined appliances are operated as heating appliances.
11.7 Replacement: Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established. If drying action is controlled by a timer, clothes dryers are operated for two cycles with the timer set to the maximum time.
11.8 Addition: The temperature rise of the textiles shall not exceed 75 K. The temperature rise at the air outlet of clothes dryers intended for drying footwear or gloves shall not exceed the limits of Table 3 for handles held for short periods only. The temperature rise limits of motors, transformers and components of electronic circuits, including parts directly influenced by them, may be exceeded when the appliance is operated at 1,15 times rated power input. For oil-filled appliances, the temperature rise of parts in contact with oil is not measured.
12 Void
13 Leakage current and electric strength at operating temperature This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
14 Transient overvoltages This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
15 Moisture resistance This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
15.2 Replacement: Clothes dryers, in which electrical components are located below the textiles, shall be constructed so that dripping water does not affect their electrical insulation. Compliance is checked by the following test. Clothes dryers with type X attachment, except those having a specially prepared cord, are fitted with the lightest permissible type of flexible cord of the smallest cross-sectional area specified in Table 13. Water containing approximately I % NaCl is dripped at a rate of 12 mI/mm from a height just above the top rail. It is uniformly distributed over the usable area, 3 I of solution being used for each cubic metre of usable volume.
NOTE 101 The following dimensions are used to calculate the usable volume: — height, maximum distance between the top of the uppermost rail and the top surface of the heating unit; — width, length of the longest rail; — depth, overall horizontal distance between the outer rails. The appliance shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3 and inspection shall show that there is no trace of water on insulation that could result in a reduction of clearances and creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
16 Leakage current and electric strength This clause of Part I is applicable.
17 Overload protection of transformers and associated circuits This clause of Part I is applicable.AS NZS 60335.2.43 pdf download.sss
