Table 8.
Chapter IEC 364-3 establishes the classification external influences which require
assessment the design and erection electrical installations.
The number relates the class within each external influence:
1 .
B .
3 ..
For example the code AC2 signifies:
A environment
AC environment-altitude
AC2 environment-altitude 2000 m. Therefore IEC
has issued relevant standards for classification external influences and environmental
conditions, e.g., material, design) may
influence the installation...
Explanation the codification for external influences Chapter IEC 364-3 (1977):
Each condition external influence designed code comprising group two capital
letters and number follows:
The first letter relates the general category external influence:
A environment
B utilization
C construction buildings
The second letter relates the nature the external influence:

All these external influences may hamper the safety electrical installations. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES EFFECTING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
AND INSTALLATION
Electrical equipment and electrical installations are exposed external influences, not only
during their use, but also during transportation, storage, and erection..
