aGate Use Case “Suitable for Use as Service Equipment (SUSE)” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Update: While UL 869A guidelines were considered in our UL 1741 certification, as shown on our datasheets, the current aGate CSA/UL product labeling does not include required marking [per NEC 230.66(A)] specifically stating that it is suitable for use as service equipment (“SUSE”). If the aGate is used in such a manner, it is at risk of failing field inspections by AHJs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Outlook: Starting in January 2024, with planned CSA testing of an updated aGate, full consideration of the UL 869A standard and appropriate labeling/marking will be updated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mitigation Guidance: All communications with customers regarding this feature (until we have updated testing/labeling) should include detail that a standard service disconnect is required.
