Secure Ignition Protection Categories

Only equipment protected against explosion is permitted in Ex areas. Ignition protection categories are constructive and electrical measures for equipment and qualify as secondary explosion protection.

An explosion occurs when oxygen (air), a flammable substance and an ignition source meet in a specific ratio to each other. Ignition protection categories counteract the origination of explosions; here, these categories designate measures with the goal of preventing ignition sources – for example, in production systems.

Everything worth knowing about Ex protection at a single glance.

Overview of the Ignition Protection Categories

In environments with an explosive atmosphere, ignition protection categories serve to prevent ignition by not reaching impermissibly high temperatures. The ignition protection categories are distinguished according to the type and function of the equipment and the probability an explosive atmosphere will occur.

Electrical equipment is subject to the provisions of IEC 60079-0 (gases and vapors), IEC 61241-0 (dust) and EN 13463-1 (non-electrical equipment). The equipment must be accepted by an approved testing office, for example by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt [German national test authority] (PTB).
