Optimize productivity of Hazardous Locations with highly engineered Electrical Products.

Better understanding leads to bett er choice
CESP developed the Guide to better inform all persons
involved in explosionproof selection, such as designers,
procurement departments, engineers, site managers, risk or
maintenance managers, authorized bodies controlling the
security on site, distributors' sales forces, etc...

CESP's advice for installing electrical equipment in areas with explosion risks
Process for installing electrical equipment in areas with explosion risks.
The manager of the installation is solely responsible for :
1- Determine hazardous areas.
2- Defining Zone boundaries - volumes.
3- If necessary, delimiting Zones.
4- Knowing the characteristics of flammable substances
present on the site.
5- Defining the temperature class and the explosion
group of the equipment.
6- Choosing equipment depending on :
• the temperature class and the explosion group,
• environmental constraints specific to the site -
corrosion, exposure to UV, mechanical strength
• protection indexes.
7- Installing equipment.
8- Commissioning.
9- Checking the installation.
