How to terminate cable in hazardous areas
Article Abstract:
Electrical contractors must take into account a number of issues when making installations in hazardous areas. Generally, they will need to observe the terms of BS 5435 Part 6 (BS 5501 Part 6, EN50019), which ensures safety in hazardous areas by not installing in them any equipment which could in normal operation cause sparks or increase temperatures to a level where the surrounding atmosphere would ignite. It is important to remember that all externally threaded micc glands produced in the UK are suitable for Exd and Exe use.
