Re: [PSES] PV Connectors: UL 6(9)703?

2016-10-04 Thread Peter Tarver
Brian -

6703 and 6703A are for PV connectors, as you stated. 9703 is for cable 
assemblies that have cable with connectors integrated into an assembly. The 
connectors used in a 9703 product means the connectors themselves would also 
have to undergo a 6703 evaluation.

"Upgrading to 9703," is not a consideration. These outlines are for different 
product types.

I'm trying to find out if UL 6703 (connectors for PV systems) is being upgraded 
to UL 9703 or the other way around.   UL's site isn't helpful - it could be

It looks like both are valid.

There is a bulletin dated 9/7/12 on "A meeting of the Standards Technical Panel 
of UL for Connectors for Use in Photovoltaic Systems was
held on August 8 and 9, 2012 at the UL San Jose office. The purpose of the 
meeting was to discuss
revisions to UL's Subjects 6703, 6703A and 9703."

which includes discussion

6. Relationship with harnesses (9703)
"Chris Flueckiger, UL, provided an overview of the UL Subject 9703, Outline of 
Investigation for Distributed
Generation Wiring Harnesses, which was published on August 2, 2011. Chris 
indicated that this was not
intended to be a standard for individual components, but for a system. A 
harness is a system consisting
of PV certified connectors along with certified conductor in a complete 
assembly. This standard has been
included under the scope of STP 6703 to address wiring harnesses in PV 
applications such as connecting
junction boxes, inverters, tracker devices. Jake Killinger and Chris Flueckiger 
also discussed situations
when a harness is considered a PV connector under 6703. It was noted that an 
incomplete system with
only a single connector attached on the conductor/cable with the opposing 
end(s) open would not be
considered a harness."

What you see is what you get.  This is ListServ software and has been in use 
since the 1990s or before.  It has served us well.

If you are looking for something like a phpBB, I don't think this is available.

Thanks, I'll check out DuckDuckGo, it sounds like it may have possibilities.
