IPC Subclass
H05B

ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL

Introduced: September 1968

Classification Context

Section:
ELECTRICITY
Class:
ELECTRIC TECHNIQUES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR
Subclass:
ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL

Description

This subclass encompasses electric heating devices and light sources that do not fall within other specialized IPC sections, along with their associated circuit control systems. Coverage includes resistance heating elements, electric furnaces, heating appliances, and general-purpose lighting technologies with their switching, dimming, and protective circuits. The classification addresses both the heating/lighting apparatus themselves and the electrical control infrastructure required for their operation, excluding heating and lighting integrated into specific end-use applications covered elsewhere (such as automotive lighting or industrial process heating in specialized classes).

Scope Notes

Application references: Electric heating Domestic cooking Heating or cooling appliances for medical or therapeutic treatment Radiation therapy using microwaves Forging by heat , Joining of preformed parts by heating of plastics or substances in a plastic state Metallurgy , , Domestic heating or stoves Furnaces or ovens Thermally-actuated switches
