boarding the crane or getting down from it. Additional switches

shall be provided if found necessary and when asked for.

32. IDENTIFICATION OF CIRCUITS

32.1 All switches and fuses shall be adequately labelled to facilitate the
identification of the circuits. All panels, controller and resistors are to
be properly marked for each motion. All main and control wires shall
be ferruled at both ends, as per drawing for quick identification. All
elements of the controller and panels are to be clearly marked by
furnishing functional nomenclature at the devices. All equipment
terminals shall be numbered and tagged.

33. DISPOSITION AND HOUSING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

33.1 Electrical Equipment Other Than Resistor Assemblies - If electrical
equipment is mounted in the open, it shall be of the enclosed type in
weatherproof enclosure with provision for easy access to the parts
inside.
33.1.1 Control panels and other electrical equipment should be so
located that there is no chance for oil from the gearboxes, to drip on
them.
33.1.2 The compartment or units shall neither impede the maintenance
of the long-travel drives, nor be mounted on the bridge platform occupied
by the cross-travel collector gear. The thoroughfare between the different
parts of the crane or between any portion of the crane and the exit
platform shall. not entail passage through the compartment or be impeded
by any control unit.
33.1.3 Control panels or units shall be so spaced that efficient main-
tenance may be performed, and shall withstand the mechanical forces
imposed by the crane under service conditions.
33.1.4 The compartment shall be constructed of steel sections and
plates, or other fireproof material of adequate mechanical strength. It
shall be drip proof, adequately ventilated and lit, and in addition for
outdoor cranes, weatherproof. If windows are provided, wired or
toughned glass shall be used and it shall be possible to cleaa all glass
surfaces without danger.
33.2 Resistor Assemblies - Resistor assemblies shall be so mounted as
to ensure an adequate flow of cooling air and shall be mounted outside
the main contactor compartment.
33.2.1 Resistor assemblies shall not impede the maintenance of the
long-travel drives or access to the plateforms of the crane, and shall be
arranged so that efficient maintenance may be performed on each unit.
