Explosive atmospheres -- Part 7: Equipment protection by increased safety "e" (IEC 60079-7:2015)
IEC 60079-7:2015(E) specifies the requirements for the design, construction, testing and marking of electrical equipment and Ex Components with type of protection increased safety "e" intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. Electrical equipment and Ex Components of type of protection increased safety "e" are either:
- Level of Protection "eb" (EPL "Mb" or "Gb");
- or Level of Protection "ec" (EPL "Gc"). Level of Protection "eb" applies to equipment or Ex Components, including their connections, conductors, windings, lamps, and batteries; but not including semiconductors or electrolytic capacitors. Level of Protection "ec" applies to equipment or Ex Components, including their connections, conductors, windings, lamps, and batteries; and also including semiconductors and electrolytic capacitors. The requirements of this standard apply to both Levels of Protection unless otherwise stated. For Level of Protection "eb", this standard applies to electrical equipment where the rated voltage does not exceed 11 kV r.m.s., a.c. or d.c. For Level of Protection "ec", this standard applies to electrical equipment where the rated voltage does not exceed 15 kV r.m.s., a.c. or d.c. 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 fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2006, and constitutes a technical revision. Refer to the Foreword of the document for a complete listing of the technical changes between edition 5.0 and previous edition of the document.
Keywords: electrical equipment and Ex Components with type of protection increased safety "e" intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres.

Atmosphères explosives -- Partie 7: Protection de l'équipement par sécurité augmentée "e" (IEC 60079-7:2015)
L'IEC 60079-7:2015 spécifie les exigences spécifiques de conception, de construction, d'essais et de marquage du matériel électrique et des composants Ex avec mode de protection de sécurité augmentée "e" destinés à être utilisés dans les atmosphères explosives gazeuses. Le matériel électrique et les composants Ex de mode de protection de sécurité augmentée "e" sont:
- d'un niveau de protection "eb" (EPL "Mb" ou "Gb"); ou
- d'un niveau de protection "ec" (EPL "Gc"). Le niveau de protection "eb" s'applique au matériel ou aux composants Ex, y compris leurs connexions, conducteurs, enroulements, lampes et batteries; mais n'inclut pas les semi-conducteurs ou les condensateurs électrolytiques. Le niveau de protection "ec" s'applique au matériel ou aux composants Ex, y compris leurs connexions, conducteurs, enroulements, lampes et batteries; cela inclut également les semi-conducteurs ou les condensateurs électrolytiques. Sauf indication contraire, les exigences de la présente norme s'appliquent aux deux niveaux de protection. Pour le niveau de protection "eb", la présente norme s'applique au matériel électrique si la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à une valeur efficace de 11 kV, c.a. ou c.c. Pour le niveau de protection "ec", la présente norme s'applique au matériel électrique si la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à une valeur efficace de 15 kV, c.a. ou c.c. La présente norme complète et modifie les exigences générales de l'IEC 60079-0. Lorsqu'une exigence de la présente norme entre en conflit avec une exigence de l'IEC 60079-0, l'exigence de la présente norme prévaut. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Reportez-vous à l'avant-propos du document pour une liste complète des modifications techniques entre l'édition 5.0 et édition précédente du document.
Mots clés: matériel électrique et des composants Ex avec mode de protection de sécurité augmentée "e" destinés à être utilisés dans les atmosphères explosives gazeuses
Eksplozivne atmosfere - 7. del: Zaščita opreme s povečano varnostjo "e" (IEC 60079-7:2015)
Ta del standarda IEC 60079 določa zahteve za načrtovanje, konstrukcijo, preskušanje in označevanje električne opreme in komponent EX z zaščito s povečano varnostjo »e«, ki je namenjena uporabi v eksplozivnih plinskih atmosferah.
Električna oprema in komponente Ex z zaščito s povečano varnostjo »e« imajo:
a) nivo zaščite »eb« (EPL »Mb« ali »Gb«) ali
b) nivo zaščite »ec« (EPL »Gc«)
Nivo zaščite »eb« velja za opremo ali komponente Ex, vključno z njihovimi priključki, vodniki, navitjem, sijalkami in baterijami, pri čemer so polprevodniški elementi ali elektrolitski kondenzatorji izključeni.
OPOMBA 1: Uporaba elektronskih komponent, kot so polprevodniški elementi ali elektrolitski kondenzatorji, ni vključena v nivo zaščite »eb«, saj lahko pričakovane okvare povzročijo prekomerne temperature ali obloke in iskre, če notranje ločilne razdalje niso upoštevane. V splošnem ni praktično vzdrževati ločilnih razdalj in delovanja elektronske komponente.
Nivo zaščite »ec« velja za opremo ali komponente Ex, vključno z njihovimi priključki, vodniki, navitjem, sijalkami in baterijami ter tudi polprevodniškimi elementi ali elektrolitskimi kondenzatorji.
OPOMBA 2: Uporaba elektronskih komponent, kot so polprevodniški elementi ali elektrolitski kondenzatorji, je dovoljena pri nivoju zaščite »ec«, saj je njihovo delovanje preverjeno tako v normalnih pogojih kot pri običajnih pričakovanih dogodkih, tako da ni pričakovati prekomerne temperature ali oblokov in isker. Ker zahteve za ločilne razdalje ne veljajo za njihovo notranjo zgradbo, so komercialno dostopne elektronske komponente v splošnem primerne, če so njihove zunanje ločilne razdalje ustrezne.
Zahteve tega standarda veljajo za oba nivoja zaščite, razen če je drugače navedeno. V okviru nivoja zaščite »eb« se ta standard uporablja za električno opremo z efektivno izmenično ali enosmerno napetostjo do 11 kV.
V okviru nivoja zaščite »ec« se ta standard uporablja za električno opremo, katere nazivna napetost ne presega 15 kV (efektivna vrednost, izmenični tok ali enosmerni tok).
OPOMBA 3: Kratkostični tok, ki teče prek povezav s povečano varnostjo glavnega tokokroga, se ne obravnava kot znatno tveganje za vžig eksplozivne plinske atmosfere zaradi premikanja povezav, ki je posledica mehanskih obremenitev, ki jih tak tok povzroča. Običajni industrijski standardi zahtevajo, da se upošteva vplive kratkočasnega visokega toka na varnost povezav. Prisotnost eksplozivne plinske atmosfere nima negativnega vpliva na varnost povezave.
OPOMBA 4: Kakršnegakoli kratkoročnega odklona toplote, ki je posledica odklona električnega toka nad običajnim nazivnim tokom, kot na primer pri zagonu motorjev, se ne obravnava kot znatno tveganje za vžig eksplozivne plinske atmosfere zaradi relativno kratkega trajanja dogodka in konvekcije,
do katere pride pri dogodku.
OPOMBA 5: Visokonapetostne povezave in z njimi povezane napeljave (nad 1 kV) so lahko občutljive na povečano delno razelektritev, ki so lahko vir vžiga. Običajno so podani povečani odmiki od ozemljenih površin ali drugih povezav in ustrezne metode za zmanjšanje visokih napetosti na priključkih.
Ta standard dopolnjuje in spreminja splošne zahteve standarda IEC 60079-0. Kadar je zahteva iz tega standarda v nasprotju z zahtevo iz standarda IEC 60079-0, ima prednost zahteva iz tega standarda.

(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the essential requirements of
Directive 94/9/EC aimed to be covered
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request to provide
one voluntary means of conforming to essential of Directive 94/9/EC of the European Parliament and
the Council of 23 March 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning
equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
