Cable Gland for Cables Entering Ex d & Ex n Equipment
The following page identifies and illustrates the minimum requirements for flameproof type ‘d’ (Ex d) and type of enclosure protection ‘n’ (Ex n) cable glands.
Read moreATEX Responsibilities
When placing cable glands or similar equipment on the market, manufacturers should provide a Declaration of Conformity confirming that its products are identical to the samples originally type tested by the Ex Notified body, and that they meet the Essential Health & Safety Requirements of the Directive 2014/34/EU.
Read moreTerminating Cables with Optical Fibre content into Flameproof Type ‘d’ (Ex d) Enclosures
Fibre optic cables are used increasingly throughout industrial plants and projects for a variety of applications involving the running of business systems, data transfer, internet access, plant security and other day to day operational duties. Although IEC 60079-28 covering ‘Explosive atmospheres - Part 28: Protection of equipment and transmission systems using optical radiation’ sets out the possible means of equipment protection to ensure safety, it lacks advice on how to terminate and seal cables with optical fibre content in explosive atmospheres.
