Protection Against Explosions in Dangerous Areas
This section details the types of protection methods for electrical apparatus in explosive atmospheres, including oil immersion, pressurized apparatus, sand filling, and flameproof enclosures. It also covers protection methods for flammable dusts and electric motors.
Dangerous Areas and Zones
Explains the classification of hazardous areas into zones based on the likelihood of explosive atmospheres, as per European directive 1999/92/EC. Zones are categorized for both gas and combustible dust presence.
Apparatus Classification
Equipment is classified into categories based on protection levels, with specific categories for mines and surface installations. The document also discusses enclosure groups and temperature classes for gas atmospheres.
Temperature Classes
Electrical apparatus is classified into six temperature classes based on maximum surface temperatures, which are critical for preventing ignition in explosive atmospheres.
Combustion Temperatures of Gases and Vapours
Combustible gases and vapours are classified by ignition temperature and explosive capacity. Equipment markings indicate protection mode, enclosure group, and temperature class, which determine installation zones. The responsibility for equipment choice lies with the user, not the supplier. Cemp® products have temperature classes ranging from T85°C to T150°C.
Temperature for Atmospheres with Combustible Dusts
Protection against flammable dust considers the dust's flash point in both cloud and layer forms. The motor's surface temperature must be below the reference ignition temperature, calculated as the lower of two values: 2/3 of the cloud ignition temperature or the layer ignition temperature minus 75K.
Equipment Protection Level (EPL)
According to IEC EN 60079-0, equipment used in explosive atmospheres must have an EPL suffix, indicating the probability of becoming an ignition source. EPL helps differentiate between explosive atmospheres.
Choice of Safety-Electric MotorDirective 1999/92/EC defines the connection between danger zones and equipment categories. Protection modes and motor categories are specified by construction standards. Equipment categories range from very high to normal protection levels, depending on the likelihood of becoming an ignition source.
Efficiency Levels IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4
