classifications:
| Form
4 |
Separation
of busbars from the functional units, and separation of
all functional units from one another, including the
terminals for external conductors which are an integral
part of the functional unit. |
| Type
1 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit. Busbar separation is
achieved by insulated coverings, eg. Sleeving, wrapping or
coatings. Cables may be glanded elsewhere. |
| Type
2 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit. Busbar separation is
achieved by metallic, or non-metallic, rigid barriers, or
partitions. Cables may be glanded elsewhere. |
| Type
3 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit. Busbar separation is
achieved by insulated coverings, eg. Sleeving, wrapping,
or coatings. The termination for each functional unit has
its own integral glanding facility. |
| Type
4 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit, but in individual,
separate, enclosed protected spaces, or compartments.
Busbar separation is achieved by insulated coverings, eg.
Sleeving, wrapping or coatings. Cables may be glanded
elsewhere. |
| Type
5 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit, but in individual,
separate, enclosed protected spaces, or compartments.
Busbar separation is achieved by metallic, or
non-metallic, rigid barriers, or partitions. Terminals may
be separated by insulated coverings, and glanded in common
cabling chambers. |
| Type
6 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit, but in individual,
separate, enclosed protected spaces, or compartments. All
separation is by metallic or non-metallic, rigid barriers,
or partitions. Cables are glanded in common cabling
chamber. |
| Type
7 |
Terminals
for external conductors located in the same compartment as
the associated functional unit, but in individual
separate, enclosed protected spaces, or compartments. All
separation is by metallic, or non-metallic, rigid
barriers, or partitions. The termination for each
functional unit has its own integral glanding facility. |
|
Note: These forms of separation
are not relevant to arc fault containment which is not the subject of
this specification, and would be subject to agreement between the
manufacturer, and the client.
