• Casing : external surface of small electrical
component (see IEC 60529 (or EN60529) §3.1 or IEV 826-03-12) against direct Contactor relay contact. This external surface reduce risk of fire to propagate from inside toward outside the electrical equipment and so to ignite other component located in it vicinity. • Casing has to fulfil the NLI rules (Chap 4.3) in term of fire ands smoke qualification level. • No requirement apply to parts located inside this casing . • This proposal is due to : • very small quantity of O2 , • fire &smoke qualification of casing, • very low weight/volume of combustible material in each casing
