The present invention provides an electrical component enclosure for installation in a location where a flammable gas or vapor is expected to be present. The electrical component enclosure incorporates a catalyst for inducing a reaction to convert a flammable fluid to a non-flammable product, thereby reducing the flammable fluid concentration and reducing the likelihood of the flammable fluid being ignited. The enclosure preferably permits the free exchange of gas and vapor between the surrounding atmosphere and the enclosure interior.

1. An electrical component enclosure for installation in a location where a flammable fluid is expected to be present, said enclosure comprising:(a) a protective housing for an electrical component, said housing having an opening formed therein, said opening allowing fluids to pass between the interior of said housing and a surrounding external atmosphere; and (b) a catalyst associated with said opening such that fluids passing through said opening contact said catalyst, whereby said catalyst induces said flammable fluid to react to produce a non-flammable product.
