8 Overload-Protective Devices

8.1 An overcurrent- or thermal-protective device acceptable for the application shall be provided as part
of an appliance.
8.2 A protective device the intended functioning of which requires replacement or resetting shall be in a
readily accessible location.
Exception No. 1: An appliance that complies with all applicable requirements in this standard with the
protective device, such as a supplementary fuse, shunted out of the circuit.
Exception No. 2: A protective device the location of which would ordinarily be unknown to the user
because of its location and the omission of reference to the device in the operating instructions for the
appliance.
8.3 A protective device shall be inaccessible from outside the appliance without opening a door or cover,
and resetting shall not require exposure of normally protected or enclosed live parts.
Exception: The operating handle of a circuit breaker, the operating button of a manually operable motor
protector, and similar parts may project outside the enclosure.
8.4 A door or cover of an enclosure shall be hinged or attached in an equivalent manner if it gives access
to any overload protective device, the intended functioning of which requires renewal, or if it is necessary
to open the cover in connection with the normal operation of the protective device.
8.5 Means shall be provided for holding a door or cover over a fuseholder closed, and the door or cover
shall fit tightly.
