(a) Has an input voltage of six hundred volts or less.

(b) Is air cooled.

(c) Does not use oil as a coolant.

(d) Is rated for operation at a frequency of sixty hertz.

10. " Metal halide lamp" means a high intensity discharge lamp in which the major portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal halides and their products of dissociation, possibly in combination with metallic vapors.

11. " Metal halide lamp fixture" means a light fixture designed to be operated with a metal halide lamp and a ballast for a metal halide lamp.

12. " Portable electric spa" means a factory-built electric spa or hot tub that is supplied with equipment for heating and circulating water.

13. " Probe start metal halide ballast" means a ballast used to operate metal halide lamps that does not contain an ignitor and which instead starts lamps by using a third starting electrode probe in the arc tube.

14. " Pulldown refrigerator" means a commercial refrigerator specifically designed to rapidly reduce all integrated product temperatures from ninety degrees fahrenheit to thirty-eight degrees fahrenheit over a twelve hour period when fully loaded with beverage containers.

15. " Residential pool pump" means a pump that is used to circulate and filter residential swimming pool water in order to maintain clarity and sanitation and that consists, in part, of a motor and an impeller and housing.

16. " Residential pool pump motor" means a definite purpose motor designed for use in a residential pool pump.

17. " Single voltage external AC to DC power supply" means a device that:

(a) Is designed to convert line voltage AC input into lower voltage DC output.

(b) Is able to convert to only one DC output voltage at a time.

(c) Is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end use product that constitutes the primary power load.

(d) Is contained within a separate physical enclosure from the end use product.

(e) Is connected to the end use product via a removable or hard wired male/female electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring.

(f) Does not have batteries or battery packs, including those that are removable and that physically attach directly to the power supply unit.

(g) Does not have a battery chemistry or type selector switch and indicator light or does not have a battery chemistry or type selector switch and a state of charge meter.

(h) Has a nameplate output power less than or equal to two hundred fifty watts.

18. " Torchiere" means a portable electric lighting fixture with a reflective bowl that directs light upward onto a ceiling so as to produce indirect illumination on the surfaces below. A torchiere may include downward directed lamps in addition to the upward, indirect illumination.

19. " Traffic signal module" means a standard eight inch or twelve inch traffic signal indication, consisting of a light source, a lens and all other parts necessary for operation.

20. " Transformer" means a device that consists of two or more coils of insulated wire and that is designed to transfer alternating current by electromagnetic induction from one coil to another to change the original voltage or current value. Transformer does not include:

(a) Transformers with multiple voltage taps, with the highest voltage tap equaling at least twenty per cent more than the lowest voltage tap.

(b) Transformers, such as those commonly known as drive transformers, rectifier transformers, auto transformers, uninterruptible power system transformers, impedance transformers, regulating transformers, sealed and nonventilating transformers, machine tool transformers, welding transformers, grounding transformers or testing transformers, that are designed to be used in a special purpose application and that are unlikely to be used in general purpose applications.

21. " Unit heater" means a self-contained, vented fan type commercial space heater that uses natural gas or propane and that is designed to be installed without ducts within a heated space, except that unit heater does not include any products covered by federal standards established pursuant to 42 United States Code chapter 77 or any product that is a direct vent, forced flue heater with a sealed combustion burner.
