Atmospheres explosives — Partie 25: Systèmes electriques de sécurité intrinsèque.
The majority of intrinsically safe systems are simple systems, containing a single power source in associated apparatus connected to a single piece of field mounted intrinsically safe apparatus. This annex uses the combination of the temperature transmitter and the intrinsically safe interface shown in Annex E to illustrate the method of analysis.
The first step is to establish the safety data of the two pieces of apparatus in the circuit. This data can be derived from a copy of the certificate, instructions or control drawing, which should be available to the system designer. In particular, any Specific Conditions of Use should be taken into account in the system design. Precisely what information is transferred to the descriptive system document is determined by the necessity for the system analysis to be clearly justified and for it to be relatively simple to create the particular installation drawing from this reference drawing.
The compatibility of the two pieces of apparatus is established by comparison of the data of each apparatus. The sequence is usually as follows:
a) Compare equipment grouping. If they differ then the system takes the least sensitive classification. For example, if one device is lIC and the other IIB then the system becomes IIB. It is usual for a power source evaluated as lIC to have permissible output parameters (L0, C0 and L01R0) for lIB and lIA equipment Groups as well. If these larger values are used, then the parameters used determine the system equipment Group.
b) Compare Levels of Protection. If they differ then the system assumes the lowest Level of Protection. For example, if a device is “ia” and the other “ib” then the system becomes “ib”. A power source which is evaluated “ib” may also have different output parameters for use in “ic” circuits. If these values are used in the system design, then the system becomes “ice.
C) Determine the temperature classification of the intrinsically safe apparatus mounted in the hazardous area. Apparatus can have different temperature classifications for different conditions of use (usually dependent on ambient temperature or I, U1 and P1) and the relevant one should be selected and recorded. Furthermore, it should be noted that it is the apparatus which is temperature classified, not the system.
d) Record the permissible ambient temperature range of each piece of apparatus.IEC 60079-25-2020 pdf free download.
