Ross SysCon Control Panels CONTROLS Common NEMA Enclosure Types For non-hazardous locations: NEMA 1: NEMA 12: NEMA 4: NEMA 4X: Indoor use. Provides a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts and a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt). Indoor use. In addition to protection offered by a NEMA 1 enclosure, also protects equipment against circulating dust, lint, fibers and water (dripping and light splashing). Indoor or outdoor use. Protects equipment against falling dirt and windblown dust, water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose directed water). Enclosure will be undamaged by the external formation of ice. Same as NEMA 4 but provides an additional level of protection against corrosion hence enclosure is built in stainless steel. For hazardous locations: NEMA 7: Indoor use in hazardous locations classified as Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, or D as defined in NFPA 70. Designed to contain an internal explosion without causing an external hazard. NEMA 9: Indoor use in hazardous locations classified as Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, or G as defined in NFPA 70. Designed to prevent ignition of combustible dust. Page 1 of 14 Phone: 912-238-5800 - Website: www.rosssyscon.com - E-mail: mail@rosssyscon.com
