A client of ours recently had the consulting engineer on a project complain because the client installed a non-IP rated switchboard in a room with a fire sprinkler. It was a computer server room with a UPS.
I thought the consulting engineer was just being pedantic, but the question must be raised; Should all electrical equipment adjacent to fire sprinklers be IP rated ?
Office buildings in NZ all have fire sprinklers in every room. Should we install IP56 outlets throughout ?
