   各位大侠，请指教。如附件图片所示的结构，其是否被视为发热件外壳。如被视为发热件外壳，其防火等级要求如何，在不更改现有塑胶件的情况下，有何改进措施？该产品欲做UL认证。

394846972

外壳等级为V-1以上

LZ的图片看起来盖顶有层铜铂，这样的话燃烧应该是V-0级的

山炮

温控和热保护应分开放在不同极上，UL不用接地的吗？内部布线也没有适当的固定，还真的担心故障试验时漏水。（不太懂UL，随便说说）

做ＵＬ如果是不熟悉标准的，会做得比较痛苦，若订单很赶建议好好想一想要怎样做

UL标准的塑胶外壳防火等级不能简单地去说用什么材料，电器产品的塑胶料往往都会参考到UL746C这个标准，希望大家能够去看，同时与产品标准是最息息相关的。

这个产品看起来是一个锅类器具，估计具体应该参考UL1083。
如果适用标准是UL1083，大家可以看看一下条款，估计看完后应该知道该怎样选择了：
7.4 Among the factors that shall be taken into consideration when an enclosure is being judged for acceptability are its:
! w* t4 J9 `, v- s" K# qa) Physical strength;
1 u9 I8 L- I0 X( [  t+ ~; bb) Resistance to impact;
c) Moisture-absorptive properties;

2 l2 B8 w! l! e) ?0 f" k7 |" |" gf) Resistance to distortion at temperatures to which the enclosure may be subjected under conditions of normal or abnormal use.
5 S; F. p  e2 A  CFor a nonmetallic enclosure, see the enclosure requirements in the Standard for Polymeric Materials –Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C. A metal enclosure or enclosure part shall be tested in accordance wiith the Metal Enclosure Impact Test, Section 36, for resistance to impact.
& I- F  Z* c4 Z* mException No. 1: When considering the abnormal and severe conditions tests of UL 746C, the appliance enclosure is to be judged under the abnormal operations tests of Abnormal Operation Test, Section 46.
Exception No. 2: Thermoset materials need not be subjected to the relative thermal capability requirements of UL 746C. For a thermoset material operating at a temperature above its temperature rating, the 1000 hour aging test as specified in 43.1 shall be conducted.
' _- E8 |- T7 C7.5 A thermoplastic enclosure of an appliance provided with overheating protection (Overheating Protection, Section 22) need not comply with the flammability requirements of UL 746C if a material rated HB, and possessing 60 arcs minimum resistance to high current arc ignition, and 7 second minimum resistance to hot wire ignition is employed and all enclosure parts including ribs, grills, and the like are spaced a minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from uninsulated live parts.

如果标准不是UL1083，那估计是UL1026，但是具体要求，其实也是一样的上面这段话。大家看到其实HB的料也可以使用，关键是后面带了个尾巴，这个尾巴很关键，留下话题，大家讨论尾巴，其实这个尾巴就是安规工程师是否真正入行的表现

也要看具体的吧

建议买个电饭锅来参考一下，你那塑料件上面没有散热孔，我估计那样温升会很快，会导致通不过，还有塑料必须是VO级的了，虽然我没做过类似产品，但我们线盘，插座上面对这要求是非常严格的，UL认证产品的附材应该要有UL证书，我想那个塑料要有UL黄卡的

这是个什么产品?用UL什么标准?先提供支撑带电体的材料要求,外壳的要求是对应标准内有说明,挺多的外壳用HB也是可以的,但是要附加很多的测试,生产商为了省去测试,一般不用HB的材料.

在最小厚度大于1.5mm时，其耐燃等级是UL 94V-0， HWI=1、HAI=0、CTI=2，因此看回上表HWI<4、HAI<3、CTI<4，符合上表，所以PA-766在最小厚度大于1.5mm时可以直接支撑带电体。
