The certification requirements for electrical equipment used in potentially explosive environments are outlined in EU Directive 2014/34. In order to certify electrical equipment used in potentially explosive environments, the EU has set requirements. Certification and compliance requirements are outlined in EU Directive 2014/34. All electrical equipment used in potentially explosive environments must abide by this guideline. Electrical equipment makers and their authorized representatives are subject to the direct...

Electrical equipment that operates in a potentially explosive atmosphere, have characteristics specially designed for operation in this area. For security reasons, it is essential that the integrity of these special features be preserved in these areas throughout the life of the installation. Using electric equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres brings forward several particularities therefore the problems that appear during the design, construction and operation of electrical devices and installations bri...

Evaluation of explosion-proof protected electrical equipment in scope of certification is extremely important considering the risk of explosion that has to be minimized in order to ensure life safety and health of workers and to prevent damaging of property and the environment, as well as free movement of goods when they meet the essential safety requirements at European level. Electrical equipment that operates in potentially explosive atmosphere, have characteristics specially designed for operation in this area...

The paper aims to address what types of protection can be applied to galvanic elements and batteries that are used in potentially explosive atmospheres. In order to keep electrical equipment in operation in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres under harsh conditions, including galvanic elements and batteries, a certain type of protection must be applied for safe operation. The types of protection applied to galvanic elements and batteries are made in accordance with EN 60079-0 and in compliance with...

The use of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres requires special attention, namely from the point of view of their construction and maintenance. Together with the technological developments, these objectives can easily be met, objectives which are defined by European standards concerning the construction, use and maintenance of explosive proof equipment. Evaluation of explosion-proof protected electrical equipment in scope of certification is extremely important considering the risk of explosi...

The paper aims to address the importance of inspection and maintenance of electrical equipment used in liquefied petroleum gas car filling stations. In order to maintain in operation the electrical equipment in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres under harsh conditions, the personnel involved in inspection and maintenance activities must be trained in such a way as to know the operation of these electrical equipment with different types of protection and how to perform their maintenance. Inspection...

The evaluation of explosion-proof electrical equipment for certification is particularly important given the risk of explosion and must be minimized. This in order to ensure the safety of life, health of workers, to prevent damage to goods and the environment when they meet the essential security requirements at European level. Directive 2014/34 / EU states that equipment used in explosive atmospheres must be designed to operate without endangering the environment for which it is intended. This paper deals with th...

Most of the equipment operating in potentially explosive atmospheres in oil and gas industry is represented by electric motors, which in most situations act on various other elements (e.g. pumps, valves, fans etc.). Evaluation of explosion-proof protected electrical equipment in scope of certification is extremely important considering the risk of explosion that has to be minimized in order to ensure life safety and health of workers and to prevent damaging of property and the environment, as well as free movement...

Evaluation of explosion-proof protected electrical equipment in scope of certification is extremely important considering the risk of explosion that has to be minimized in order to ensure life safety and health of workers and to prevent damaging of property and the environment, as well as free movement of goods when they meet the essential safety requirements at European level. The standards SR EN 60079-0 (Explosive atmospheres. Part 0: Equipment. General requirements) and one or more of the standards containing t...

Evaluation of explosion-proof protected electrical equipment in scope of certification is extremely important considering the risk of explosion that has to be minimized in order to ensure life safety and health of workers and to prevent damaging of property and the environment, as well as free movement of goods when they meet the essential safety requirements at European level. The purpose of this paper is to present aspects regarding the importance of thermal endurance tests performed on the electrical equipment ...
