Hello, listmates- I'm scoping North American electrical safety standards for an a.c. mains powered, portable conveyor system to support an outdoor construction process. Used to assist in handling pipe lining fabric at the jobsite. The motor will likely be no greater than ¾ HP single phase, 120Vac/60Hz. VFD motor speed controller to manage the short conveyor belt (approximately 6ft long). There are no product specific standards for this type of equipment, however UL-73 for Motor Operated Appliances appears to check all the appropriate electrical safety boxes. Conveyor-specific safety will be addressed with ASME B20.1.
I welcome expert opinions from the group-is UL-73 sufficient to evaluate this product?
