NB: It is essential to
maintain the integrity of cabinets and
panels against the ingress of dust and
vermin, the latter can cause severe damage
to cables and thus create a fire hazard.
Where electric cables pass through cabinets
or walls it is standard practice to fit
seals to prevent the passage of smoke or
flame. When maintaining cables, cabinets or
junction boxes it is essential that the
integrity of the seals is maintained. Where
a seal is replaced, it should comply with
the latest regulations. |
