Reasons to specify FM1. In an indoor application, some installation costs may be potentially offset.
a. Sprinkler systemb. Oil containment
2. Reduce required clearances from buildings, equipment.3. If your plant is insured by FM, you may be eligible for a reduced premium.

To Sum
FM and UL are both designed to assist the end user, engineer, and contractor in complying with NEC
450.23.

Final ThoughtsQuestions that may help the decision
making process
FM and UL Classification both assist in NEC 450.23 compliance.
Is your company insured by Factory Mutual?
Do you need to place the liquid transformer close to the building?
Does the transformer need to be placed indoors?
