Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or where there may
be flammable gases or fumes. Operate the product only at or below the
pollution degree stated in Appendix A, Specifications. Pollution is foreign
matter in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state that can produce a reduction of
dielectric strength or surface resistivity. The following is a description of
pollution degrees:
•
Pollution degree 1 means no pollution or only dry, non conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
•
Pollution degree 2 means that only non conductive pollution occurs in
most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
•
Pollution degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non
conductive pollution occurs, which becomes conductive due to
condensation.
Clean the product with a soft nonmetallic brush. The product must be
completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to service.
