Pressure-resistant encapsulation
Limits the explosion the inside the enclosure
Pressure-resistant encapsulated enclosures are
designed for devices where sparks are
generated which have hot surfaces which
are source ignition during normal
operation.

W. The methods that achieve
intrinsic safety mean that important that not only the devices
installed direct contact with the explosive atmosphere are
constructed correctly, but also the electrical devices which
they are connected. rms).
This also applies fault conditions. So, example,
in the ATEX applicable areas, only ignition protection devices
meeting for Zone (highest probability explosive
atmosphere being present) are allowed. Devices using this protection principle may not be
installed Zone 0.C.
Intrinsically safe i
Limited safe level ignition energy
Intrinsic safety for products where electrical
energy which flows into the product, is
stored the product, not sufficient to
ignite the surrounding explosive atmosphere.
All connections the enclosure are sized that they
cannot transmit explosion from inside the surrounding
atmosphere.
Increased safety e
No sparks and surface temperature limited
to safe level
Increased safety for products where
there are sparks produced during normal
operation case failure.
They can viewed online and printed out.
A typical application area are control and display circuits with
low voltage and current.
The surrounding possibly explosive atmosphere can enter the
enclosure and will produce internal explosion during the
equipment’s lifespan.
Intrinsically safe equipment and intrinsically safe parts of
the associated equipment are divided into protection levels:
ia (for zones and 2), (for zones and 2), and ic
(only for zone 2). Recent standards were initially adopted IEC
standards.
The certificates awarded this scheme are published the

IECEx scheme
The IECEx scheme international certification scheme for
products which meet the requirements the international

For this sort ignition protection the explosion groups apply
(IIA, IIB, IIC).
This protection scheme usually used for distribution cabinets.
