Number of terminals
An ignition temperature is the temperature at which a hot surface will cause an ignition to occur in a given atmosphere. Dependent on the type of gas or dust, the maximum temperature that the surface of the terminal box can reach without a spontaneous ignition is known as the T Class. The maximum surface temperature must always be lower than the ignition temperature of the atmosphere in which the junction box is used. The terminal boxes within the TNUP range have been assigned a maximum heat dissipation relating to the ambient temperature and T Class. The TNUP range offers T6 protection: T6 = Maximum 85C (Internal wiring must have a temperature rating of at least 85C) For some applications it may be necessary to have several terminal sizes. The power heat dissipation determines the maximum number of terminals permissible for any size of terminal box, based on a 100% load. The following tables and examples demonstrate how this is solved in the same junction box. Example (TNUP 161609) Terminal/ conductor size (mm2) 1,5 2,5 4

Hazardous area information & terminology
ATEX Directive
The ATEX Directive, derived from the French ATmosphres EXplosibles and formally known as 94/9/EC, contains the ESR (Essential Safety Requirements) to which electrical equipment and protective systems used within potentially explosive atmospheres must conform. The new ATEX Directive currently in place within the European Union was made mandatory on 1st July 2003. Primarily intended for manufacturers of hazardous area equipment for use in the presence of ammable gases, vapours, fumes or dusts, the new directive requires a quality management system to be implemented. Procedures for the design, manufacture and verication of products are to be approved by a notied body (i.e. DNV, NEMKO, etc.) and all equipment conforming to the new directive will feature CE and Ex Marking.

Applicable EX protection
EEx e Protection for electrical components that do not spark under normal working conditions but where measures are applied to prevent high temperatures and the occurence of arcs and sparks internally. EEx ia Protection for equipment containing intrinsically safe circuits, which are incapable of causing an explosion in the surrounding atmosphere, that is where current and voltage in normal operation would not produce enough spark energy or heat to ignite any potentially explosive gases.

Features

Zone Classication with the presence of GAS

Zone 1 (Category 2) An area in which explosive gas is likely to be present during normal operation of the plant. An area in which explosive gas is not continuously present, but may exist for a short period of time.

Zone 2 (Category 3)
