Modular terminals for explosive conditions –
complying with the European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC
Principles
IEC 60947-7-1 (EN 947-7-1/VDE 0611pt.
Components are not marked with the mark in
accordance with the European ATEX directive 94/9/EG. According 60079-0 modular
terminals for explosive conditions are so-called explosion-
proof components.26 1282250000 2012/2013
.
In addition, when used hazardous areas the standard
EN 60079-0 applies; where increased safety ‘e’ required
EN 60079-7 applies.
EX terminal blocks are certified for the increased safety “e“
ignition protection category.
The certifying body approved under the Directive
RL 94/9/EC issue Type Approval Certificates in
accordance with 60079-0/60079-7 and the ATEX
Directive 94/9/EC.
The clamping yoke, tension clamp, insulation displacement
and the PUSH terminal block system offer increased
protection against accidental loosening and have been
designed such manner that the ends flexible wire
conductors need preparation.3) specify the
basic provisions for modular terminals terminals. Copies the Type
Approval Certificates, the notifying committee and the
Declarations Conformity are available via the Internet.
