NOTES:
1/ Enclosure provides protection of personnel against physical contact with electrically energized or
moving parts.
2/ Normally used for equipment located in machinery spaces aboard ship, except where more severe
conditions prevail.
3/ Common enclosure for pump motor applications aboard ship, except where submergence or
explosionproofness is required. Motor specifications require a shaft slinger for pump applications.
4/ Fan-cooled rotating equipment not suitable in weather exposed locations because icing conditions
could cause failure or malfunction.
5/ Suitable for equipment on ship's decks which may be awash in heavy seas.
6/ Select submergence depth (15, 50 or 1600 feet) as applicable. (4.6, 15.2 or 487.7 meters)
