Flameproof explosion proof protection methods.
So cable glands and seals may need to be considered but they are of lighter construction as they are not required to cool exploding gases only to prevent the flow of gases.
In europe and elsewhere suitably rated cable is connected directly to the equipment using certified flame proof cable glands.
The permissible wiring methods are selected by the code making panel with safety being the most critical consideration.
In north america metal conduit must be used for field wiring.
Imposes strict requirements for wiring methods in these locations.
Ex ia ex ib intrinsically safe cable glands designed in such a way that the energy of any spark is lower than that can ignite a flammable mixture.
Along with rigid metal conduit there are a number of cable types which are approved for use in these hazardous locations.
