an enclosure or as a functional part.
2.3 effective April 13, 1993
2.4 BRANCH CIRCUIT – That portion of the wiring system beyond the final overcurrent protecting
device on the power-distribution panel protecting the circuit to the output.
2.4 effective April 13, 1993
2.5 CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER – A step-down, isolation type transformer having a secondary voltage of
not more than 30 volts rms (42.4 peak) under any condition of loading including open circuit and
complying with the applicable requirements in the Standard for Class 2 and Class 3 Transformers, UL
1585.
2.5 effective April 13, 1993
2.6 CONTROL CIRCUIT – A circuit that carries electric signals directing the performance of a controller

not carry main power current.
2.6 effective April 13, 1993
2.7 ENCLOSURE – That portion of a unit that reduces the accessibility and unintentional contact of a
part that may involve a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, or reduces the risk of propagation
of flame, sparks, and molten metal initiated by an electrical disturbance occurring within.
2.7 effective April 13, 1993
2.8 FIELD-WIRING LEAD – Any lead to which a supply, load or other wire is intended to be connected
by an installer.
2.8 effective April 13, 1993
2.9 FIELD-WIRING TERMINAL – Any terminal to which a supply or other wire is intended to be
connected by an installer in the field is a field-wiring terminal unless the wire is provided as part of the
product and a pressure terminal, connector, soldering lug, soldered loop, crimped eyelet, or other
means for making the connection is factory-assembled to the wire.
2.9 effective April 13, 1993
2.10 FIXED UNIT – A unit that is intended to be permanently connected electrically.
