Dear Moderator,
I tried to send this question before but have no idea, if it reached you.
If yes, please discard this question.
I could not find any references in NEC that the oxygen storage tank area is considered a hazardous location. However, NFPA 53 Chapter 7 requests that electrical installation in oxygen-enriched atmosphere areas should comply with the requirements of Article 500, Class I, Division I NEC.
Would a storm drain sump pump, installed in a well next to oxygen tank (located outside) be required to meet Class I, Div. I requirements (in case of the tank leakage)?
Is there anything I am missing in NEC that would address this condition?
Thank you.
