I'm using a NEMA 4X enclosure that is being supplied intrinsically safe power for a Class 1 Div 2 application. In the NEMA 4X enclosure, I will have several 3-position selector switches.

1.) For those selector switches, will I need to use hermetically sealed contact blocks or am I allowed to use standard contact blocks?

2.) If we are allowed to use standard contact blocks, which article & section of the NEC states that we can use them?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 
Article 504, Section 504.20. See also 504.10; the installation must be consistent withthe manufacturer's control drawing.
