IEEE Recommended Practice for Auxiliary Devices for Rotating Electrical Machines in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 Locations and Class II, Division 2 and Zone 22 Locations

This recommended practice applies to the application and installation procedures of auxiliary devices in or on electric rotating machines that are employed in hazardous locations classified as Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 and Class II, Division 2 and Zone 22 under commonly used worldwide regulations. These regulations are: the National Electrical Code® (NEC®); the Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code); and combined practices of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Included is a list of source documents, definitions and nomenclature. Devices include terminal housings, heaters, surge protection, power factor correction capacitors, shaft bonding (shaft grounding), and enclosures. Special marking requirements are also discussed.
