UL94 V-0 Where and Why

UL94 V-0 Where and Why

UL94 V-0 Where and Why

(OP)
Hi Folks -
Where are some of the environments where a UL94 V-0 rating might be required.  The product is a storage battery.
Why?

RE: UL94 V-0 Where and Why

Hi Billgas,

Suggest you talk to the Technical Department of a storage battery Vendor. I have always found this is a lot quicker than trying the internet.

RE: UL94 V-0 Where and Why

UL94V-0 has to do with flammability.  Basically it means that the stuff stops burning soon after you remove a flame from it, and doesn't emit flaming drips.

It's commonly specified for thermoplastics used as electrical insulation, and in any application where a material that makes a fire worse would be a bad thing.

UL-V0 is fire rating. For example, many plastics that is used on home appliances have to have V0 rating to reduce fire potential.

It all depends on the safety certifications you want to obtain.
