UL 1681, “Standard for Wiring Device Configurations,” has just been revised and is now available from Document Center Inc. The new 2012 Edition includes configurations that cover attachment plugs, receptacles, cord connectors, some forms of current taps, and flatiron and appliance plugs – all for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA-70.
These configurations do not cover devices rated at more than 200 A or for more than 600 V. And this standard does not cover devices having NEMA configurations in accordance with Wiring Devices – Dimensional Specifications, ANSI/NEMA WD6.
The new 2012 UL 1681 was issued to reflect the adoption of the document as an ANSI Standard and to Include Figure C3.1 to illustrate an Alternate Plug Blade Profile Incorporating Insulating Material for Use with Electrical Utilization Equipment.
