scope:

This technical publication provides requirements for testing fire pump controllers for electric motor-driven centrifugal fire pumps (EFPC) for resistance to the effects of arcing due to an internal fault.

EFPCs in this standard include variable speed electric fire pump controllers (VEFPC).

The requirements in this standard are only applicable to arcing faults occurring entirely in air within the enclosure when all doors and covers are properly secured. This standard does not apply to arcing faults that occur within components of the EFPC.

EFPCs that meet the requirements of this standard shall be referred to as arc-resistant EFPCs.

Flush mount enclosed equipment is not addressed in this standard.
