According to UL, the UTL series is rated at 600 V and 16 A. When used for CBC applications, it is rated at 277 V and 13 A. CBC is a specific requirement in the lighting industry and other applications. This means the connector can be disconnected under current load, which is unusual for a connector series. Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton realized that an effort to offer a worldwide applicable solution required a CSA rating and IEC rating. In addition, the flammability is more and more a concern when connectors are close to consumers and installers. The UL 94 5 VA rating is greater than the standard V-0 rating other connectors typically offer, and may be a requirement depending on the application standard needed to be achieved.
