EEx d IIC / IIB Explosion proof enclosures

DE8

Features
The DE8 range comprises many standard sizes of enclosures
manufactured in painted steel. The enclosures allow for
utilization of standard electrical components inside. Thus
subsequent replacement and maintenance of the installed
components is easy, and may be performed by trained
electricians. If required, several enclosures may be assembled on a framework, with separate or common EEx e/i
junction boxes. The enclosures can be delivered empty with
U-component certicate or supplied fully assembled according
to client demands.

Suitable for demanding environment.

Flexible product range with several standard sizes.

ATEX approved.

Wide temperature range (-20C to +60C).

Many cable entries possibilities.
Several earthing alternatives.
May be used with a EEx e/i connection box
Window in lid/door may be tted in IIB version.
High operational reliability and cost efciency,
reduced lifetime maintenance costs.

Ingress protection to meet harsh environment with IP65 as

standard. IP66 as an option.

Hazardous area information & terminology
ATEX Directive
The ATEX Directive, derived from the French ATmosphres
EXplosibles and formally known as 94/9/EC, contains the ESR
(Essential Safety Requirements) to which electrical equipment
and protective systems used within potentially explosive
atmospheres must conform.
The new ATEX Directive currently in place within the European
Union was made mandatory on 1st July 2003. Primarily intended
for manufacturers of hazardous area equipment for use in the
presence of ammable gases, vapours, fumes or dusts, the
new directive requires a quality management system to be
implemented.
Procedures for the design, manufacture and verication of
products are to be approved by a notied body

Zone Classication with the presence of DUST

Zone 22

An area in which an explosive atmosphere in the

form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is likely
to occur in normal operation of the plant.
A place in which an explosive atmosphere in
the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is
not likely to occur in normal operation, if it does
occur, will persist for a short period only.

Zone Classication with the presence of GAS

Zone 1
(Category 2)

An area in which explosive gas is likely to be

present during normal operation of the plant.

Zone 2
(Category 3)

An area in which explosive gas is not

continuously present, but may exist for
a short period of time.

Applicable EX protection
EEx d Protection
Parts, which can ignite a potentially
explosive atmosphere, are surrounded by an
enclosure, which are designed to withstand
the pressure of an internal explosion and to
prevent the propagation of the explosion to
the atmosphere surrounding the enclosure.
EEx e Protection
for electrical components that do not spark
under normal working conditions but where
measures are applied to prevent high
temperatures and the occurence of arcs and
sparks internally.

NOVEMBER 2005 VERSION 1.0 ARTDIRECTOR.NO SPESIALTRYKK

Zone 21

(i.e. DNV, NEMKO, etc.) and all equipment conforming to the

new directive will feature CE and Ex Marking.
