GB/T 4706.103-2024 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 103 : Particular requirements for electric fishing machines 1 Scope This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is replaced by the following. This standard specifies the safety requirements for electric fishing machines by means of which water may be electrified for the purpose of catching fish or for providing barriers to all animals living in water. The rated voltage of electric fishing machines is not more than 250 V for single phase machines and 480 V for other machines, except that the rated voltage of electric fishing machines for permanent connection to fixed wiring is not more than 1000 V. Electric fishing machines are appliances for scientific and commercial use. Additional requirements for boat mounted electric fishing machines are given in Annex AA. Note 101: Examples of electric fishing machines coming within the scope of this standard are: - mains-operated electric fishing machines which include those supplied from portable or stationary generator sets; - battery-operated electric fishing machines. Note 102: Attention is drawn to the fact that - for appliances intended to be used on board ships or boats, additional requirements can be necessary; - in many countries, additional requirements may be specified by the national management authorities. Note 103: This standard does not apply to - electric fence energizers (GB/T 4706.91); - electric animal stunning equipment (GB/T 4706.97); - shark deterrent devices that are carried by the user. 2 Normative references This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is applicable except as follows.

This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is applicable except as follows. 3.1 Definitions relating to physical characteristics 3.1.1 Addition: Note 101: The rated voltage is the rated input voltage. 3.1.6 Addition: Note 102: The rated current is the rated input current. 3.1.9 Replacement: normal operation operation of the appliance under the following conditions: The electric fishing machine is operated as in normal use when connected to the supply with an adjustable non-inductive resistor connected between its output terminals. The resistor is adjusted so as to give an output current just sufficient not to cause any protective device to operate 3.1.1 01 output voltage voltage between the electrodes 3.1.1 02 output current current in the output circuit that the electric fishing machine is designed to supply 3.1.1 03 pulsed voltage voltage impulse of any form and any duration 3.1.1 04 impulse that part of the pulsed voltage output that exceeds 12 V 3.5 Definitions relating to types of appliances 3.5.101 electric fishing machine appliance, comprising electrodes and an energizer, that is designed or used for the control, taking, killing of any species of fish or invertebrate living in water or for the production of electronarcosis, by means of electric current Note 1: An electric fishing machine may be used to provide a barrier effective for all animals living in water. Note 2: A given electric fishing machine may only perform some of the functions specified. 3.5.102 mains-operated electric fishing machine electric fishing machine designed for direct connection to a supply other than a battery supply at a voltage greater than safety extra-low voltage Note: It may also be supplied from a generator set. 3.5.103 battery-operated electric fishing machine electric fishing machine deriving its energy solely from non-rechargeable batteries, rechargeable batteries or other sources of energy, with a voltage meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage 3.6 Definitions relating to parts of an appliance 3.6.3 Addition: Note 101: It also includes terminals for the connection of the battery and other metal parts in a battery compartment that become accessible when batteries are replaced, even with the aid of a tool. 3.6.4 Replacement: live part conductive part that may cause an electric shock 3.6.101 electrode that part of an electric fishing machine that transfers the electric power into the water Note 1: The catching electrode is the electrode used by the fisherman, the return electrode is the electrode trailed in the water. Note 2: The catching electrode is usually the anode and the return electrode is usually the cathode. Note 3: This does not preclude the return electrode being held by the user. 3.6.102 energizer that part of an electric fishing machine that transfers the electric power into the electrodes 3.6.103 output circuit all conductive parts or components within an electric fishing machine that are connected or intended to be connected galvanically to the electrode terminals 3.7 Definitions relating to safety components Addition: 3.7.1 01 biased-off switch switch which automatically returns to the off position when its actuating member is released 4 General requirement This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is applicable. 5 General conditions for the tests This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is applicable except as follows. 5.101 If there is no indication as to which of the output terminals is to be connected to the return electrode, the terminal that gives the most unfavourable result is connected to the return electrode. 5.102 Electric fishing machines are tested as motor-operated appliances.
