Low-voltage circuit protection in hazardous locations — A comparison of codes and standards within IEC, CEC and NEC

摘要

As economies become more global in scope, the ability to satisfy different markets with a single or basic product is attaining an increased focus. For protection and distribution in low-voltage installations in hazardous (classified) locations and harsh environments, this is made somewhat difficult due to the difference in codes and standards (NEC, CEC and IEC), and market expectations in different parts of the world.
