1 Scope

1.1 These requirements cover discharge-path resistors that are intended to be connected between the antenna and the supply circuit of a radio-, video-, or television-type appliance. The resistors are intended to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock due to the buildup of a static electrical charge on the antenna connected to the appliance. These resistors are:

a)    Rated 1/2 W or greater,

b)    Rated 480 k? to 12 M? for use in a 50/60 Hz, 125 V or less circuit, and

c)    Rated 960 k? to 12 M? for use in a 50/60 Hz, 126 - 250 V circuit.

1.2 These requirements cover conductive-path resistors, of any rating, intended to be connected between live parts and accessible conductive parts of a radio-, video-, or television-type appliance.
