Appleton V-50 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Appleton V-51 incandescent luminaire be used in a Class I, Division 2 area?
Yes. The V-51 Series carries an NEC listing for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D. Under CEC it also covers Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; Class III; and Enclosure 3R. Note the Division 2 limit on the NEC side: this is not a Division 1 fixture for Class I areas, so if your area classification is Class I, Div 1, this is the wrong luminaire.
2) What lamp does the Appleton V-51 luminaire take, and what is the maximum wattage?
It takes medium base incandescent lamps from 60 to 300 watts, into a porcelain socket with a brass screw shell. The family is built in two wattage bands, 60 to 150 W and 150 to 300 W, so match the fixture to the lamp you intend to run rather than assuming any V-51 covers the whole range.
3) What voltage can I feed the Appleton V-51 fixture?
Maximum input voltage is 150V. That covers standard 120V branch circuits, but it rules the fixture out on 208V, 240V or 277V lighting circuits. On a plant where the lighting panel runs 277V, you need a different luminaire.
4) Why are there so many different Appleton V-51 part numbers, and how do I pick the right one?
The V-51 is a platform, not one fixture. It is built as several sub-series (VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC, VD and others), each a different combination of mounting hood, globe material and guard style for the same 60 to 300W hazardous-location duty. Pick by three things: how it mounts, what globe you need, and whether you want a guard. Catalog number V-50 is the specific unit here.
5) Will the Appleton V-51 hold up in a wet, washdown or corrosive area?
That is what it is built for. The fixture is enclosed and gasketed, with a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter finished in three coats: zinc electroplate, then chromate, then epoxy powder coat. Typical placements are chemical plants, tunnels and subways, storage areas, and wet or damp locations. The CEC side includes Enclosure 3R for rain exposure.
6) How does the guard come off the Appleton V-51 when I need to change a lamp?
The steel guard snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter. No clamps to loosen, so a relamp is a fast job on a lift. The guard itself is steel with zinc electroplate and porcelain enamel finish.
7) Can the V-51 luminaire be mounted on a wall or a stanchion instead of a pendant?
The V-51 platform is offered in pendant, 45 degree stanchion, and a range of ceiling and wall mountings. Mounting style is part of the sub-series you order, not a field adjustment, so pick the hood configuration that matches the opening you are lighting.
8) Do I need to add a junction box to wire the Appleton V-51 luminaire?
A connection block is furnished with the fixture for wiring at installation, and the fixture is unitized rather than assembled from separate pieces, which is what keeps install and maintenance time down compared with multi-piece hazardous-location fixtures.
9) Does the Appleton V-51 luminaire hold up to vibration from nearby equipment?
Two features address it. The porcelain socket is shock absorbing, which extends lamp life where vibration is present, and a neoprene rubber ring in the neck of the reflector snaps into the groove of the mounting hood to guard against vibration and chipping of the glass. That makes it workable near conveyors, compressors and rail tunnels.
