MIXING PNEUMATIC AND ELECTRIC INSIDE ENCLOSURE
MIXING PNEUMATIC AND ELECTRIC INSIDE ENCLOSURE
(OP)
Hi All..
Dealing right now with decision of a big control panel for PLC and servo drivers. Almost 50% of space will be available after installing electric control/power components and thinking in using the rest of space for installing some valves and tubing for a purge system of this equipment. Assuming ideal conditions and safety of air supply, does any one of you can tell weather or not should I mix pneuamtic with electric componentes in a same enclosure. Please see pic attached.

I am working on some enclosures that combine electrics and pneumatics. Our client requires a NEMA 4X rating, but UL508A states that penetrating the enclosure with a non-rated component derates the panel to NEMA 1. Since we have not been able to find NEMA rated bulkhead fittings we are having a problem with our client now.

Gravity will help you in case you have water condensing in the air/pneumatic lines.

And then the Safety Inspector [who test every unit going to the USA or Canada) kept finding thing. Insisted on a ground strap for the Polish Cart even though the Pump was double insulated, safety grounded through it's AC Plug and isolated from the frame with rubber vibration mounts. And a Coded Safety Switch.
