2.3.
Areas application could include:
• Chemicals industry
• Paint shops
• Oil and gas industry
• Fuel depots
• Gas pressure regulation and measurement systems
(GDRM systems)
• Liquefied gas storage containers
• Balance pits and large outdoor filling systems
• Filling and emptying points (e. can thus used all ex-
plosion groups, even the explosion groups IIB and
IIA. Big-Bag sacking,
balances, sack handover)
Supplementary Sheet (IEC 62305-3) requires that
connections lightning protection systems poten-
tially explosive areas are created such way that
no ignitable sparks are created when the lightning cur-
rent passes through.g.3 Solutions
Equipotential bonding systems
Systems potentially explosive areas require equipo-
tential bonding according IEC 60079-14.
Thanks the patented design, the equipotential bus-
bar can used system according IEC 60079-
14 and IEC/EN 62305-3 the zones 1/21 and Ex
zones 2/22.
The lack ignition sparks explosive atmosphere
has been tested according IEC/EN 62561-1 ac-
cording the most demanding explosion group, IIC,
with potentially explosive gas mixture and lightning
current kA. the PAS equipotential busbar does not pos-
sess its own potential source ignition, does not
come under the European Directive 2014/34/EU.
According TRBS 2152 Part and IEC/EN 62305-3,
the arresting paths the lightning must created in
such way that heating ignitable sparks spray
sparks cannot become the ignition source poten-
tially explosive atmosphere.
The PAS equipotential busbar tested according
to IEC/EN 62561-1 Class for high loads and is
suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. The PAS represents the current state
of the art for equipotential busbars areas. All the
bodies electrically conductive parts must con-
nected the equipotential bonding system. OBO can offer innovative
solutions for this.
The PAS equipotential busbar for potentially ex-
plosive areas possesses the following properties:
• Suitable for all explosion groups and use Ex
zones 1/21 and 2/22
• Free ignition sparks with lightning current up
to kA
• Tested according Class for high loads
• Screws protected against self-loosening
• Made from corrosion-resistant material (stainless
steel)
• Manufacturer and article labelling permanently at-
tached
