Insulating body table lamp4" Iris Table Lamp
Made of pottery and hand painted. The iris design is carved in low-relief on the outside. The base is scalloped so that your favorite side can face the front. The total height is 25" with a 5 x 17 x 11" shade.

Design criteria
• Must meet electrical safety standards• Must meet fire safety standards• Stability of shape – how easy to knock
over• Choice of appropriate materials

Electrical safety regulationsTwo categories of protection against electrical
shock• Class 1: All exposed metalwork that is not
already shielded from live parts by an earthed screen shall be connected to a protective earth of low impedance
• Class 2: All live parts of the appliance shall be protected by two independent layers of insulation (double insulated)
![Page 6: Design Study electric table lamp](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815d90550346895dcba460/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Class 1
• Insulation between mains and any accessible part shall withstand a flashover voltage of 2120V
• The minimum distance between mains voltage carrying parts and touchable parts must be 3mm.
• All touchable parts must be properly earthed.
![Page 7: Design Study electric table lamp](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815d90550346895dcba460/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Class 2• Insulation between mains and every touchable
part shall withstand a flashover voltage of 4240V• The minimum distance between mains voltage
carrying parts and touchable parts must be 6mm.
• Double insulated construction should be so designed that failure of two independent layers of insulation has to occur before any exposed metalwork can become connected with a live conductor.

Practical considerations for design of electrical appliances
• Keep mains carrying parts as compact as possible and well away from other parts of the design
• Only use approved parts for mains carrying parts of the equipment e.g. cable entry, switch, fuse holder, lamp holder
• Use only approved colour coded wires throughout the design.
• Remember mains operated equipment may get hot so choose materials that will withstand this.

Static and dynamic equilibrium
A structure will be stable, ie hard to knock over, if the centre of gravity has to rise for this to happen.

Fire safety• Minimise risk by ensuring only those parts
intended to get hot do so.• Keep combustible materials away from sources
of heat• Use protective devices (electrical and thermal
fuses) to disconnect appliance if there is a fault• Choose materials that can comfortably withstand
the expected levels of temperature• New appliances should be submitted for testing
for BEAB approval.

AlternativesSafety of electrical equipment in respect of protection from electric shock can be improved by operation at low voltages using a transformer or batteries.

SwitchesWhite in-line cord switch units with rocker actuators. 2A rating.PL00550: Clip-on. Double pole, complies with NF C 61-120.PL00551: Neutral terminal and capacity for through conductor. Single
pole. Complies with CEE24.
Press switch push for on push for off
Often used in lamp bases
Single pole so only switches the live side
Normally suitable for operation up to 2A = 500W

Cable strain relief components
Cable entry collet locks cable in place where it enters the appliance – prevents cable being pulled out
Nylon cable support provides strain relief to prevent cable kinking at entry to appliance – often seen on electric irons.
