IEC 60079-15:2010 Edition 4.0 8.3 Terminal boxes Terminal boxes attached to machines operating at voltages up to 1 kV, may be opened to the interior of the machi

9、ne, only when the IP rating of the machine is IP44 or higher. The external IP protection of the box shall be not less than IP54, as determined in accordance with IEC 60079-0.

10、 2016 Answer: No. As long as the interior of the machine has an ingress protection of IP54 or greater, determined in accordance with IEC 60079-0, there is no limitation to less than 1 kV. If the interior of the machine has an ingress rating of IP44 or lower, the use of a terminal box open to the int

11、erior of a motor rated 1 kV or greater is not permitted. NOTE Many manufacturers opt to declare IP44 for the machine for certification purposes, whilst claiming a rating of IP54 or higher, by assessment, for contractual purposes in order to avoid the difficult testing required for certification of t

12、he IP of larger machines. As such, this additional IP rating need only comply with IEC 60529 or IEC 60034-5 as applicable, and not with any of the testing detailed in IEC 60079-0.
