Hazardous environments - group II
According to European Directives 94/9/EC (ATEX), IEC 60079-10, EN 60079-10 and

NEC 505, hazardous environments are classified, relating to the presence
probability of flammable substances, in ZONES:
Zone “0” Continuous
presence
( Gas presence > 1000 hours/year) Presence during
normal operations
Area where an explosive gas
mixture is present continuously,
for long period or frequently (Zone
“20” for dust)
Zone “1”
( Gas presence 10 - 1000 hours/year)
mixture is
likely to occur under normal
operations Presence just
(Zone “21” for dust) in case of failure or
abnormal operations
Zone “2”
( Gas presence < 10 hours/year)
mixture is unlikely to occur (or
occur only under abnormal
Area Classification
Zone 2
Zone 1

What does it mean Non Sparking enclosure ?

Parts which could ignite an explosive gas are manufactured in
such a way that to prevent ignition of flammable gas
No spark in No dangerous hot

normal conditions surfaces in normal
Increased safety motors – Ex e
What does it mean Increased Safety enclosure?

Parts which could ignite an explosive gas are manufactured in
such a way that to prevent ignition of flammable gas
No spark in normal/ No dangerous hot

faul conditions surfaces in all
conditions
Pressurized motors – Ex p
What does it mean Pressurized enclosure ?

Parts which could ignite an explosive gas mixture are housed in
an enclosure which is flushed and pressurized by a protective
gas, e.g. clean air
po
Outlet
inert gas
Inlet
p > po
inert gas
Flameproof motors – Ex d
What does it mean Flameproof enclosure ?

The enclosure is designed in such a way that an explosion
inside the motor will not cause any permanent deformation and
will prevent the flame propagation outside
strong housing
(frame and shields)
seals and labyrinths
