10、0 INTRODUCTION This part of IEC 60079 standard gives requirements for the design, construction, testing and marking of electrical apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in which a) a protective gas maintained at a pressure above that of the external atmosphere is used to guard agains
11、t the formation of an explosive gas atmosphere within enclosures which do not contain an internal source of release of flammable gas or vapour and, where necessary; b) a protective gas is provided in sufficient quantity to ensure that the resultant mixture concentration around the electrical parts i
12、s maintained at a value outside the explosive limit appropriate to the particular conditions of use. The protective gas is supplied to an enclosure containing one or more internal sources of release in order to guard against the formation of an explosive gas atmosphere. This standard includes requir
13、ements for the apparatus and its associated equipment including the inlet and exhaust ducts, and also for the auxiliary control apparatus necessary to ensure that pressurization and/or dilution is established and maintained.

14、 Scope This part of IEC 60079 standard contains the specific requirements for the construction and testing of electrical apparatus with pressurized enclosures, of type of protection “p”, intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres hazardous (classified) locations defined as Class I, Zone 1 or Zone
15、 2 by the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. It specifies requirements for pressurized enclosures containing a limited release of a flammable substance. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC ANSI/ISA-60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts
16、with a requirement of IEC ANSI/ISA-60079-0, the requirements of this standard takes precedence. This standard does not contain the requirements for: pressurized enclosures where the containment system may release a) air with an oxygen content greater than normal, or b) oxygen in combination with ine
17、rt gas in a proportion greater than 21 %; pressurized rooms or analyser houses; see IEC 60079-13 and IEC 60079-16. NOTE 1 Due to the safety factors incorporated in the type of protection, the uncertainty of measurement inherent in good quality, regularly calibrated measurement equipment is considere
18、d to have no significant detrimental effect and need not be taken into account when making the measurements necessary to verify compliance of the equipment with the requirements of this standard. NOTE 2 When the user acts in the role of the manufacturer, it is typically the users responsibility to e
19、nsure that all relevant parts of this standard are applied to the manufacturing and testing of the equipment. NOTE 3 Types of protection “px” and “py” provide Equipment Protection Levels (EPL) Mb or Gb. Type of protection “pz” provides Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Gc. For further information, se
