Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Business Offers 2014 Code Digest for the National
Electric Code
SYRACUSE, NY. … Power management company Eaton has revised its free 2014 Code
Digest to provide designers and installers with a ready reference for equipment and
installation requirements in hazardous locations. Available from Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds
business, the 2014 Code Digest provides a compilation of key changes to articles 500
through 516 of the 2014 National Electric Code (NEC) and covers the classification of
hazardous atmospheres, explosion prevention techniques, equipment, wiring methods, and
more. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) gave permission to reproduce these
articles.
The Code Digest is designed to assist engineers involved in the design of electrical systems
in Class I, Class II, and Class III locations. It includes diagrams of hazardous area power and
lighting installations, as well as a “Quick-Selector” Guide for electrical equipment used in
hazardous areas. Photographs of actual products from Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Business have
been added for clarity and specific reference.
For your free download of the Code Digest, go to: www.crouse-hinds.com/codedigest. To
