Electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres Introduction Potentially Explosive Atmospheres exist where there is a risk of explosion due to mixtures of gas/air, vapour/air, dust/air or other flammable combinations. In such areas there is a necessity to eliminate sources of ignition such as sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity which may ignite these mixtures. Where electrical equipment has to be used in these areas it must be so designed and constructed as to not create sources of ignition capable of igniting these mixtures. Before electrical equipment can be used in a...

Temperature Hot surfaces can ignite explosive atmospheres. To guard against, this all Electrical Equipment intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere is classified according to the maximum surface temperature it will reach in service. This temperature is normally based on a surrounding ambient temperature of 40 degrees Centigrade (102 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature can then be compared to the ignition temperature of the gas(es) which may come into contact with the equipment and a judgement reached as to the suitability of the equipment to be used in that area. Many MEDC...

Selection, Installation and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment Intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres International and national standards are published giving details of requirements for the safe use of Electrical Equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres as follows : International Europe U.S.A. General Recommendations Classification of Hazardous Areas Inspection and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment Requirements for Flameproof Enclosures Requirements for Intrinsically Safe Equipment Requirements for Increased Safety Equipment Requirements for Purged and Pressurised...

World Wide Approval The objective of the IECEx System is to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmospheres, while maintaining the required level of safety. The IECEx and ATEX standards have been technically identical since 2006. IECEx is internationally recognised and accepted worldwide, ATEX is recognised across Europe and is a mandatory requirement in the EEC. Equipment certified under the IECEx system (and equivalent ATEX standards) carry the following coding: Gb Db Where: Ga - Suitable for Zone 0 Gb - Suitable for use in a Zone 1 surface...

Manual Alarm Call Points MEDC provide a range of manual alarm call points specifically designed for the purpose of raising an alarm in the case of an emergency in a hazardous area. The call points can be made from a selection of materials depending on project specification, including glass reinforced polyester (GRP), a light weight and corrosion free material, allowing easy installation and low maintenance cost, and stainless steel, a heavy duty, long wearing material with an increased life span. All of MEDC's call points have an IP rating of 66/67 and can be certified to one of our...
