I am writing a site survey report on an existing installation in a Class I Div. 2 area. There is intrinsically safe circuits in CMP rated cable that leave an enclosure and run as open wiring to various simple apparatus. (Does apparatus have a plural form?):roll: The cable are spliced to the apparatus leads and there is no enclosure.
I personally don't like the installation, as there is no reason that these cables cannot be in conduit and the splices in an enclosure. I can't seem to find a specific article that prevents this. Art. 725.61(3) refers back to 501.10(B)(3) and I haven't found a definite answer in any other articles either.
I don't want to tell the customer its OK if its not. I also don't want recommend repairs that they don't need.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
