Customers that want to use large enclosures using purging either didn’t have the option or had an extended wait period for purging. Customers were forced to segment the enclosure into smaller enclosures increasing the size of the system and having to interconnect the enclosure together using Ex methods. This customer needs a system that is not only certified for large enclosures, but can also purge the enclosure faster and keep enclosure pressure low.

Littelfuse: Short Circuit Current Ratings
A short-circuit current rating (SCCR)1 is the maximum current a device or system can safely withstand for a specified time (such as 0.05 seconds), or until a specified fuse or circuit breaker opens and clears the circuit. SCCR is usually expressed in kiloamperes (kA). SCCR labeling requirements create a safe installation and help manufacturers, owners and managers meet OSHA regulations and NFPA codes and standards.

Siemens' Tips for Panel Builders Series - Part 7: Door Coupling Rotary Operating Mechanism According to IEC Standards
Control panels in the international market are subject to requirements for protection against direct contact and electric shock according to IEC 61439-1/2 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies) and IEC 60204-1 (Safety of machinery). To comply with these requirements, it must be ensured that live parts cannot be touched under normal operating conditions.
The IEC standards specify that enclosure doors must be interlocked according to certain specifications but at the same time allow maintenance and service work by skilled electricians.
