All
Cause:
Clarification of enclosure types' characteristics
Resolution:
NEMA 3 enclosures are intended for outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against rain, sleet, wind-blown dust, and damage from external ice formation.
NEMA 3R enclosures are intended for outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against rain, sleet, and damage from external ice formation.
