  2. NEMA enclosure types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_enclosure_types

    Below is a list of NEMA enclosure types; these types are further defined in NEMA 250- Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. Each type specifies characteristics of an enclosure, but not, for example, a specific enclosure size. Note that higher numbers do not include the lower-numbered tests. For example, types 3, 4 and 6 are intended for outdoor ...

  3. Electrical equipment in hazardous areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_equipment_in...

    Unlike ATEX which uses numbers to define the safety "Category" of equipment (namely 1, 2, and 3), the IEC continued to utilise the method used for defining the safe levels of intrinsic safety namely "a" for zone 0, "b" for zone 1 and "c" for zone 2 and apply this Equipment Level of Protection to all equipment for use in hazardous areas since ...

  4. Electrical enclosure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_enclosure

    An electrical enclosure is a cabinet for electrical or electronic equipment to mount switches, knobs and displays and to prevent electrical shock to equipment users and protect the contents from the environment. The enclosure is the only part of the equipment which is seen by users.

  5. Electrical safety standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_standards

    The electrical safety develops with the technical progress. In 1989 OSHA [1] promulgated a much-needed regulation in the General Industry Regulations. Several standards are defined for control of hazardous energy, or lockout/tagout. In 1995 OSHA was successful in promulgation of regulations for utility. [2]

  6. Intrinsic safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_safety

    Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost over ...

  7. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    Over time, electrical codes in the US and Canada began to require additional safety features in the basic NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R configurations to address specific electric shock hazard concerns. The safety features listed below are not mutually exclusive; for example, tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles are available.

  8. Machine guarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_guarding

    Electrical interlock mounted on wire mesh machine guarding. Electrical interlocks or other devices tied into the equipment's control circuit are mounted on access points and are configured to stop equipment operations when opened. These access points should also incorporate hardware to comply with the OSHA lockout/tagout regulation 1910.147. [6]

  9. BS 7671 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_7671

    BS 7671 only covers electrical systems with the following characteristics: having a nominal voltage up to but not exceeding 1000V AC or 1500V DC for AC having a supply frequency of 50 , 60 or 400Hz , though the use of other frequencies for special purposes is not excluded.
