by skilled personnel.
8.5.7 Protection from dangerous arcing
a) The dangers of live parts. To prevent arcing can
ignite an explosive gas atmosphere, it should avoid any contact with the
voltage other than the part that is intrinsically safe.
b) Flow disturbance to the earth on the chassis or enclosure should be limited (big and duration)
and prevent an increase in the potential at any potential equalizing conductor bond.
c) If the TN system is used, it should be applied to the system TN-S, with a neutral
separately and installed protective conductor throughout the system. In a dangerous space,
neutral conductor must not be connected together, or combined in a single
conductor.
TN-C system, which has a neutral conductor combined to function and function
protection in the form of a conductor, should not be used in a hazardous area.
If using a TT system (system earthing conductor separate from the
open-conductive) used in Zone 1, it must use protective devices
residual current (GPAs), also for extra-low voltage circuits (below 50 V).
TT system should not be applied in Zone 0.
d) If the use of IT systems (separate neutral from earth or earthed through
impendans), then the device should be installed at an early stage monitors to determine interference
earth. Installation in Zone 0 must be disconnected immediately after an earth fault
First, by the monitoring device isolation or by GPAs.
e) For installation in Zone 0 which uses various voltages must be considered,
that the earth fault current as small as possible in magnitude and duration. Should
earth fault protection is installed for a specific use in Zone 1.
Potential equalizing 8.5.8
To prevent dangerous arcing between the metal frame, then
equalizing potential needs to be installed for installation in Zone 0 and Zone 1 and may
also required for installation in Zone 2. therefore all conductive parts
open bonding conductor must be connected to the equalizing potential. Bonding system can
consists of a conductor protection, metal conduit, wiring enclosures from metal, steel protective
cable, all of the metal frame, but should not be attributed to a neutral conductor.
Conductor size between the metal part of the frame should be the smallest size 10 mm2

b) single-core cable without sheath (eg, HIS) should not be used as
conductor voltage, unless the panels are mounted on the circuit,
enclosure or conduit system.
c) The connection cable and conduit to the electrical appliance should be carried out in accordance with
the type of
relevant protection.
d) hole for the cable or conduit entry points on the power tools should be covered with
sealing in accordance with the relevant type of protection.
e) The cable and conduit must be sealing, if necessary, so as to prevent water or
incoming gas.
f) Line entry system wiring from one zone to another zone, or zone
hazardous to non-hazardous zone, must inhibit the entry of gas vapors
or flammable liquids from one room to the other and prevent
collection of gases, vapors or flammable liquids in the channel. Prevention
This may be the installation of the sealing on branching, duct or pipe and
good ventilation or filling sand into the channel.
