IEC 60079-5:2015

Explosive atmospheres - Part 5: Equipment protection by powder filling "q"

IEC 60079-5:2015 is available as IEC 60079-5:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60079-5:2015 contains specific requirements for the construction, testing and marking of electrical equipment, parts of electrical equipment and Ex components in the type of protection powder filling "q", intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This standard applies to electrical equipment, parts of electrical equipment and Ex components with:
- a rated supply current less than or equal to 16 A;
- a rated supply voltage less than or equal to 1 000 V;
- a rated power consumption less than or equal to 1 000 W. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2007, and constitutes a technical revision. Refer to the Foreword of the document for a complete listing of the technical changes between edition 4.0 and previous edition of the document. Keywords: electrical equipment and Ex components in the type of protection powder filling "q"

Atmosphères explosives - Partie 5: Protection du matériel par remplissage pulvérulent "q"

IEC 60079-5:2015 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60079-5:2015 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
IEC 60079-5:2015 contient les exigences spécifiques de construction, d'essais et de marquage d'appareil électrique, des parties d'appareil électrique et des composants Ex à remplissage pulvérulent, mode de protection "q", destinés à être utilisés dans des atmosphères explosives gazeuses. La présente norme complète et modifie les exigences générales de l'IEC 60079-0. Lorsqu'une exigence de la présente norme diverge d'une exigence de l'IEC 60079-0, l'exigence de cette norme prévaut. La présente norme s'applique aux appareils électriques, aux parties d'appareil électrique et aux composants Ex avec:
- un courant assigné d'alimentation inférieur ou égal à 16 A;
- une tension assignée d'alimentation inférieure ou égale à 1 000 V;
- une puissance consommée assignée inférieure ou égale à 1 000 W. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2007. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Reportez-vous à l'avant-propos du document pour une liste complète des modifications techniques entre l'édition 4.0 et édition précédente du document. Mots clés: d'appareil électrique et des composants Ex à remplissage pulvérulent, mode de protection "q"
