Wiring Devices Can Still Face Extraordinary Challenges in “Ordinary” Locations
Chuck Ross
From an electrical contractor’s viewpoint, so-called “ordinary”
locations can be anything but run-of-the-mill. They may not face the
risks of hazardous locations, but installations in “ordinary” locations
can still require heavy-duty plugs, receptacles and other wiring
devices, especially in high-amperage applications.
The phrase
“ordinary location” can be misleading at first glance. The National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) use this term simply to differentiate “hazardous
locations” – those areas in which fire or explosion risks exist, due to
flammable gases, combustible dust or ignitable fibers or flyings – from
other areas in a plant or facility.
