Guide to Low Voltage Panel Separation

Click a form of separation for the guide classifications:


Form 1
Forms 2a and 2b
Forms 3a and 3b
Form 4a (types 1, 2 and 3) and 4b (types 4, 5, 6 and 7)
Form 4 Separation of busbars from the functional units, and separation of
all functional units from one another, including the terminals for
external conductors which are an integral part of the functional
unit.
Type 1 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit. Busbar separation is achieved by insulated
coverings, eg. Sleeving, wrapping or coatings.
Cables may be glanded elsewhere.
Type 2 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit. Busbar separation is achieved by metallic, or
non-metallic, rigid barriers, or partitions. Cables
may be glanded elsewhere.
Type 3 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit. Busbar separation is achieved by insulated
coverings, eg. Sleeving, wrapping, or coatings. The
termination for each functional unit has its own
integral glanding facility.
Type 4 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit, but in individual, separate, enclosed protected
spaces, or compartments. Busbar separation is
achieved by insulated coverings, eg. Sleeving,
wrapping or coatings. Cables may be glanded
elsewhere.
Type 5 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit, but in individual, separate, enclosed protected
spaces, or compartments. Busbar separation is
achieved by metallic, or non-metallic, rigid
barriers, or partitions. Terminals may be separated
by insulated coverings, and glanded in common
cabling chambers.
Type 6 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit, but in individual, separate, enclosed protected
spaces, or compartments. All separation is by
metallic or non-metallic, rigid barriers, or
partitions. Cables are glanded in common cabling
chamber.
Type 7 Terminals for external conductors located in the
same compartment as the associated functional
unit, but in individual separate, enclosed protected
spaces, or compartments. All separation is by
metallic, or non-metallic, rigid barriers, or
partitions. The termination for each functional unit
has its own integral glanding facility.
