A Codes question.
I am a mechanic in a grain elevator, Class 2, Div.2, Group G.
A device they want to deploy while the plant is running is a wheeled,garden tractor pull behind hopper with small helic type auger driven by a 12 volt d.c. motor. It is powered by a standard lead acid deep cycle battery with screw type terminal connector's.
The battery is in a plastic battery box with a vented lid.
The connector's to the control unit are of the automotive type with a small open 4 screw terminal block in the circuit.
The control unit is plastic and has a on-off-auto switch and a simple pot. for speed adjustment.
What code cover's such a device in a hazardous location?
