Data record `std.ieee-1584.structure.enclosure-correction`

Verified 2026-10-24 Confidence: High

Clause 4.8 of IEEE 1584-2018 supplies the enclosure size correction factor: clause 4.8.2 distinguishes a shallow enclosure from a typical one by voltage and dimension criteria, clause 4.8.3 converts the actual height and width to equivalent dimensions, and Table 7 provides the correction coefficients by box type and electrode configuration for the equations of clause 4.8.4.
