A Guide To The Use Of Electrical Equipment
In Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Introduction
Potentially explosive atmospheres exist where there is a risk of explosion due to mixtures of gas/air, vapor/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 potentially explosive atmosphere, a representative sample has to be fully tested and certified by an
independent authority such as Baseefa 2001 in Europe or UL in the U.S.A.
This information is intended as a guide only and further expert guidance should be sought before placing into service,
maintaining or repairing any item of equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Where comparisons are shown between, for example, European and North American practice this may be an approximation
and individual standards/codes of practice should be consulted for precise details.
Area Classification
Plants are divided into Zones (European and IEC method) or Divisions (North American method) according to the likelihood of
a potentially explosive atmosphere being present.
Note: North American legislation now allows Zones to be used to classify areas, where this practice is used it follows the IEC
Zone method.
European & IEC Classification Definition of zone or division North American Classification
Zone 0 (gases) An area in which an explosive mixture is Class I, Division 1 (gases)
Zone 20 (dusts) continuously present or present for long periods Class II, Division 1 (dusts)
Zone 1 (gases) An area in which an explosive mixture is Class I, Division 1 (gases)
Zone 21 (dusts) likely to occur in normal operation Class II, Division 1 (dusts)
Zone 2 (gases) An area in which an explosive mixture is not Class I, Division 2 (gases)
Zone 22 (dusts) likely to occur in normal operation and if it Class II, Division 2 (dusts)
occurs it will exist only for a short time Class III, Division 1 (fibers)
Class III, Division 2 (fibers)

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.
Purged and Pressurized—Electrical equipment is housed in an enclosure Zones 1 & 2 Zones 1 & 2 Class I
which is initially purged to remove any explosive mixture, then pressurised EExp Exp Divisions 1 & 2
to prevent ingress of the surrounding atmosphere prior to energization. EN50016 IEC60079-2 –
NFPA496
Encapsulation—A method of exclusion of the explosive atmosphere by Zones 1 & 2 Zones 1 & 2 –
fully encapsulating the electrical components in an approved material. EExm Exm –
EN60079-18 IEC60079-18 –
Oil Immersion—The electrical components are immersed in oil, thus Zones 1 & 2 Zones 1 & 2 Class I Division 2
excluding the explosive atmosphere from any sparks or hot surfaces. EExo Exo –
EN50015 IEC60079-6 UL698
Powder Filling—Equipment is surrounded with a fine powder, such as Zones 1 & 2 Zones 1 & 2 –
quartz, which does not allow the surrounding atmosphere to come into EExq Exq –
contact with any sparks or hot surfaces. EN50017 IEC60079-5 –

Cooper Crouse-Hinds advises that all Explosionproof electrical equipment is maintained, by suitably trained personnel, in
accordance with the Manufacturers’ recommendations.
Any spare parts used should be purchased from the original Manufacturer and repairs should be carried out by the
Manufacturer or under his supervision, in order that the item remains in conformance with the certification documents.
European Practice
ALL EQUIPMENT, BOTH ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL, INTENDED TO BE PUT INTO SERVICE WITHIN THE EEC
HAS TO BE CERTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ATEX DIRECTIVE.
It should be noted also that MECHANICAL equipment is covered by the ATEX Directive so for the first time items such as
gearboxes will have to carry ATEX certification.
The equipment coding signifying compliance with ATEX is as follows:
II2G i.e.
– Explosionproof in accordance with ATEX.
II – Group II surface industries.
2 – category 2 equipment (suitable for use in Zone 1) note: Category 1 is suitable for Zone 0.
Category 3 is suitable for Zone 2.
G – suitable for atmospheres containing gas (D is suitable for atmospheres containing dusts).
Equipment will be CE marked when certified to ATEX.

Worldwide Certification
Most countries outside Europe or North America use the IEC Standards as a basis for their own national standards.
The Russian Federation certifies equipment to GOST ‘R’ standards, these closely follow CENELEC practice.
In Russia, certain products used in fire alarm systems may be required to carry the Russian fire approval (VNIIPO). Note
that not all Cooper Crouse-Hinds products that have been certified to GOST ‘R’ are VNIIPO approved. Check specification on
technical data sheets before ordering.
Kazakhstan has a certification process (GOST ‘K’) where approval is normally based on compliance with CENELEC standards.
Certification in China is based on compliance with international standards such as CENELEC or UL, or their own
CQST standard.
There is a scheme in place which will, when fully adopted, allow for internationally recognized certification to become a reality,
this is the IEC EX SCHEME. This uses the IEC standards and IEC recognised test and cer tification bodies to issue mutually
recognised test reports and certificates. The scheme is in its infancy and its level of success cannot yet be measured.

Strobe Lights Division 1, Zone 1
The Hazard•Gard EXS and EXDS Series Explosionproof Strobe Lights are
designed for installation indoors and outdoors in locations which are hazardous
due to the presence of flammable vapors or gases, ignitible dusts or ignitible
fibers and flyings. The units are UL Listed for Type 3R and 4X installations.
The 120V and 24V DC models are Marine Rated. The strobes are available
for pendant, wall, stanchion and ceiling mounts, and come in six different
globe colors.
Under normal operation the diode is reversed biased, meaning it blocks voltage
from being applied to the strobe and prevents it from lighting. When an initiating
device such as a smoke detector is activated, the diode’s polarity is reversed
through a circuit panel. The diode becomes forward biased, allowing voltage to the
device and activating the strobe.

Diode Polarized
Technology
Diode Polarized Technology: Also known as supervisory diode circuit for use in fire alarm applications
or other critical warning requirements such as industrial hazards and process control emergency
indication. Units with a supervisory diode typically have four wires.
In fire alarm technology, when a fire-initiating device such as a smoke alarm is activated, circuit
resistance on the initiating circuit goes to zero. The fire alarm panel goes into alarm mode when it
senses the resistance at zero. See diagram below.

6. Notification
4. Polarity reverses in alarm mode device
With the fire alarm panel in alarm mode, voltage polarity is reversed (under normal operation the diode
is reversed biased blocking voltage) on the circuit powering the notification device or strobe light. The
strobe light is activated (diode is now forward biased allowing voltage through) when it senses a change
in polarity. All NFPA approval visual indication for fire alarm must use a clear lens.
Appliance Circuits connect the fire alarm panel to the signaling devices such as strobe lights, bells,
horns and speakers that alert building occupants of a fire.

the trouble. Should the top device detect a fire, the signal would
never reach the control panel. Note that the lower device would
send a fire alarm signal but would not send a trouble signal to the
fire alarm panel, a classic symptom of miswiring.

Sound Basics
When using decibels, to double the loudness you only have to add 3 dB. For example, if a signal is rated at 85 dB at 10 feet, then a
signal twice as powerful would be rated at 88 dB at 10 feet. The table below illustrates how the sound pressure level changes with
distance under good conditions.

Glossary and
Explanations:
Candela Seconds: Actual light energy contained in a pulse of light. Used to specify the minimum require-
ments for light output from a flashing light. Candela seconds is a relative measure of how bright a flash of
light will appear to a human eye. (Candela: The intensity base unit for light.) Candela seconds and candela
effective (below) are the primary metrics by which to compare flashing warning lights.
Candela Effective or Effective Candlepower: Equates the brightness of a flashing light source to
the brightness of a steady burning source. If a flashing light has a candela effective rating of 100 then it
will be visible at the same distance as a 100 candela steady burning source. Candela effective is used
in specifying intensities of flashing light sources because it compares flashing warning lights with steady
burning light sources.
Peak Candela or Peak Candlepower: The maximum light intensity generated by a flashing light during
its light pulse.
Strobe, Principle of Operation: A strobe light consists of a xenon strobe lamp, power supply, energy
storage capacitor and a trigger circuit.
The strobe bulb consists of a glass tube that has and electrode at either end called an anode (+) and
cathode (-). The tube is filled with xenon gas and a trigger element is applied to the outside of the bulb.
The trigger element could be a wire wrapped around the tube, a conductive paint stripe along one side of
the glass bulb or clear conductive coating over the outside of the tube.
The power supply charges a large capacitor with the voltage needed to “strike” the bulb and is applied to
the anode and cathode. The voltage is generally between 200 and 500 VDC depending on the design of
the light.
The trigger circuit applies 7,000 to 10,000 volts (low current) to the trigger element of the bulb causing
the xenon gas to ionize and discharge the capacitor.
The energy excites the xenon gas and produces a very short burst of high intensity white light.

Things that impact light output:
■ Physical shape of the strobe lamp and arrangement within lens
■ Efficiency of the strobe lamp—its ability to turn electricity into a bright white light
■ Color of the lens
■ Size and efficiency of the lens General Information
