Use / Properties

The fully certified empty enclosure type
S-TB that has been tested by a testing authority/
authorized person is used for the distribution of
electric energy e.g. light circuits, heating
circuits, control circuits, intrinsically safe circuits
etc. (see technical data for temperature class,
explosion group, permissible ambient temperature).
The data as per point 3 and 4 shall be taken
into account with the use.
The responsibility for the suitability and
proper use of the empty enclosure
type S-TB lies with the user.

excluded. Manual rubbing is not considered to
be a high charging process.
