The modules selected for UL 2703 bonding and grounding testing represent the broadest possible range of modules on the market. The tests were performed for each specific bond

-

ing location using representative module frame profile sections. The tests performed cover the following basic module parameters:

• The frame profile must not have any feature that might interfere with the bonding devices that are integrated into the racking system

• Use with a maximum over current protection device OCPD of 30A

• Unless otherwise noted, all modules listed above include all wattages and specific models within that series.  Variable wattages are represented as "xxx"

• Items in parenthesis are those that may or may not be present in a compatible module's model ID

• Slashes "/" between one or more items indicates that either of those items may be the one that is present in a module's model ID
