Re: what kind of enclosure
alerto,
Which one of the following typrs of enclosures fits the description of the environment?
NEMA 3 ? Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, and windblown dust; and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
NEMA 3R ? Same as NEMA 3 excluding protection against windblown dust.
And then there are:
NEMA 4 ? Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing water, and hose-directed water; and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
NEMA 4X ? Same as NEMA 4 including protection against corrosion.

Re: what kind of enclosure
why would being in a room with a couple of pumps require the panelboards to be antyhing other than NEMA1?
Unless you are using the pumps to spray down the panelboards.

Re: what kind of enclosure
Good point.
Here's NEMA 1,2(usually not an option) and 12:
NEMA 1 ? Enclosures constructed for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt.
NEMA 2 ? Same as NEMA 1 including protection against dripping and light splashing of liquids.
NEMA 12 ? Enclosures constructed (without knockouts) for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against circulating dust, lint, fibers, and against dripping and light splashing of liquids.
