Class 3 Lighting
Class III lighting prevents ignition in environments with ignitable fibers or flyings
Class III lighting has two divisions for environments with ignitable fibers or flyings. Division 1 (C3D1) is for locations where fibers or flyings are always present under normal conditions, ensuring safety through ignition protection and durable construction. Division 2 (C3D2) is for areas where fibers or flyings are not typically present but may occur under abnormal conditions. C3D2 fixtures minimize fire risks by containing fibers and preventing ignition sources. Both types offer reliable protection in hazardous environments.
RIG-A-LITE lighting fixtures are classified according to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. For international projects, these classifications align with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Zones, ensuring compatibility and safety:
- Class III, Division 1 (NEC) is equivalent to Zone 20 and Zone 21 (IEC)
- Class III, Division 2 (NEC) is equivalent to Zone 22 (IEC).
