(2) Summarize NEMA enclosure type 4 hazardous and non-hazardous locations.

(3) Describe IP (Ingress protection) classification course. An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests. The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the second against liquids. The higher the number the better the protection.

1. Degrees of Protection - First Digit The first digit of the IP code indicates the degree that persons are protected against contact with moving parts (other than smooth rotating shafts, etc.) and the degree that equipment is protected against solid foreign bodies intruding into an enclosure. 0 No special protection 1 Protection from a large part of the body such as a hand (but no protection from deliberate from solid objects greater than 50mm in diameter 2 Protection against fingers or other objects not greater than 80mm in length and 12mm in diameter 3 Protection from entry by tools, wires, etc., with a diameter or thickness greater than 2.5mm 4 Protection from entry by solid objects with a diameter or thickness greater than 1.0mm 5 Protection from the amount of dust that would interfere with the operation of the

equipment 6 Dust-tight 2. Degrees of Protection - Second Digit Second digit indicates the degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the harmful entry of various forms of moisture (e.g. dripping, spraying, submersion, etc.). 0 No special protection 1 Protection from dripping water 2 Protection from vertically dripping water 3 Protection from sprayed water 4 Protection from splashed water 5 Protected against low-pressure jets from all directions - limited ingress permitted 6 Protected against direct sprays from all directions - limited ingress permitted 7 Protection against effects of immersion from 15cm to 1m 8 Protection against complete, continuous submersion in water from 15 meters or 50 feet

IP Code Symbols The chart below illustrates the use of special symbols in the IP classification system. In the "1st digit" columns, note the grid-like symbols next to numbers 5 and 6. In the "2nd digit" columns numbers 3-8 are symbolized by teardrop shaped symbols, sometimes enclosed in a box or a triangle, sometimes unenclosed (7-8). Example:

What do you mean by FM (Factory Mutual) Standards & Define the following. FM 1110 : This standard sets performance requirements for indicator posts. Indicator posts are controls, extending above ground or through building walls, for operating gate valves used in fire protection systems. An important feature of their design is a target indicator, visible through an opening in the post, which is provided to show whether the valve is open or shut. FM 1221 : This standard sets performance requirements for backflow preventers which can be used in

connections between public water supplies and fire protection systems to prevent reverse flow. Local health authorities usually recommend these devices to prevent contaminated water from entering public water supplies. FM 1321 : This standard encompasses the design and performance requirements for controllers for electric motor driven and diesel engine driven fire pumps used in fire pump service that are designed and installed in accordance with the applicable documents and the FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets. The intended operation of a fire pump controller is to initiate and sustain the operation of the fire pump driver in the event of a fire. In addition, controllers are tested under specified overload and fault conditions. To this extent the fire

pump controller is unique when compared to other industrial motor controllers, and system reliability is improved by provisions for self testing and annunciation of conditions that could result in fire protection impairment. FM 1333 : This standard encompasses the design and performance requirements for diesel engines used in fire pump service that are designed and installed in accordance with FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets. This Standard does not address National or Local Codes which require specific emission levels to be met by stationary diesel engine installations.
