Abstract :
A series of tables comparing the standards of about 40 countries for the requirements for electrical enclosures is presented. In different countries, areas are classified in various ways leading to different types of enclosures. Dimensional data and test requirements change from country to country. These comparisons of standards help to show the real need to review and revise the National Electrical Code and Standards for electrical enclosures.
