I am looking at an installation where 120V receptacles and distribution panels are to be used.
Near the area of installation but just greater than 10" in distance is a tank that on occasion is filled with hydrocarbon fluid.
I am concerned that this will still be a Class 1 Div 2 area and i will require explosion proof outlets and panels. However it is an openly winded area which I am told makes it an unclassified area.
Can someone advise as to whether or not I will still need to used explosion-proof equipment?
