Question no (4).-Why seal conduit system are applicable for installation in Class I
.Division 1 and 2 location.

Ans: - If sparks, arcs, or high temperatures could be present in enclosures containing

electrical equipment. The seals will minimize the spread of gases, vapors, and prevent
the passage of flame from one part of the electrical system to another. They will also
prevent an explosion in enclosure from traveling through the conduit or cables to other
locations, causing additional fires or explosions.

Question no (5).-What is NEMA, NFPA, CSA & ANSI.

Question no (1). What is UPS system?

The most important use of batteries in industries is for systems that provide backup
power when the primary power fails. These systems are called uninterruptible power
supply system. Can require a large number of batteries

A device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails or drops to an
unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide power for a few minutes;
enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner, while larger systems have
enough battery for several hours.
