– tools, excluding portable tools;
– dimmers for incandescent lamps;
– audio equipment.
Equipment not specified in one of the three other classes shall be considered as class A
equipment.
NOTE 1 Equipment that can be shown to have a significant effect on the supply system may be reclassified in a
future edition of the standard. Factors to be taken into account include:
– number of pieces of equipment in use;
– duration of use;
– simultaneity of use;
– power consumption;
– harmonic spectrum, including phase.
Class B:
– portable tools;
– arc welding equipment which is not professional equipment.
Class C:
– lighting equipment.
