Hello All,
I'm new to the forum, but quite often visit it. If this questions has been asked in a different post, please let me know so you don't have to waste your time answering the question.
I wanted to see what you guys thought of the practice of using explosion proof enclosures in Div 1 areas, stuffing it with my components and calling it done as opposed to going through an NRTL to certify my equipment "system"? Is this practice acceptable? and have any of you experienced an AHJ rejecting your installation for doing the same? If this is an acceptable practice, I would assume then that someone (at one point or another) would have to assess the components placement for pressure piling and electrical safety?
Thanks for your insight.
All the best,
