Also note that there are rules in the standards for maintenance lighting 
circuits which are not de-energized with the main disconnect switch.  Again, 
the non-de-energized circuits are not required, but permitted.

Subject: Re: [PSES] Interior lighting for large control panels

Doug,

None of the machinery standards require lighting in the panel, they simply 
permit it where the designer wants to use it, and provide rules for the 
installation should you choose to install it. A risk assessment should be the 
deciding factor, and any customer preferences for the provision of lighting. 
Have a look at the questionnaire provided in the Annexes to IEC 60204-1 for 
development of the electrical system specification - I think you’ll get the 
idea.

All,

I just finished reviewing older editions of UL 508 (2005) and UL 508A (2003) 
for any requirements specifically for interior lighting of large cabinets.  
This would be for cabinets large enough to be a container with personnel doors. 
 I do see requirements for how to implement "maintenance lighting" if provided 
but not a requirement specifically stating maintenance lighting "shall be 
provided". Also, if the latest editions of the UL standards now include 
sections on risk assessment, I can see how a maintenance person who is 
inadvertently entrapped (e.g. wind closed the door) would then could become 
disoriented and egress lighting would be important to mitigate the hazard.

Any guidance on mandatory lighting requirements for maintenance is greatly 
appreciated.

​Thanks,  Doug
