2.3 Severe Corrosion, Salt Spray & Heavy Dust (Chemical Plants, Coastal Open Areas, Mines)

Риск: IP20 rating cannot protect coil, terminals and contacts from acid, alkali, salt mist and dust erosion.

Требование: Bare installation is forbidden. Use sealed enclosures of IP54 or higher; select anti-corrosion models for chemical environments.

2.4 Direct Outdoor Installation without Protection

Риск: Rain, sunlight and condensation lead to coil short circuit and contact oxidation.

Mandatory Requirement: Install inside distribution cabinets or control enclosures with IP54 or higher protection.

2.5 High-power Pure DC Main Circuit Loads

Риск: Designed mainly for AC loads with poor DC breaking capacity; high DC loads easily cause contact welding.
