Detailed explanation of the division of explosion-proof grades of explosion-proof electrical equipment

Definition of explosion-proof grade

The explosion-proof grade of explosion-proof electrical equipment is divided according to the type of equipment used, the temperature group of explosive gas mixture, and the explosion-proof type of explosion-proof electrical equipment.

Explosion-proof electrical equipment is divided into two categories: Class I is electrical equipment used in underground coal mines; II is electrical equipment used in places other than mines, according to Zui Large Test Safety Clearance (MESG) or Zui Small Ignition Current (MICR), II Electrical equipment is divided into three categories: IIA, IIB, and IIC.

The above four categories are mainly based on the small spark energy that may be detonated under different working conditions. In China and Europe and most countries and regions in the world, the explosive gas is divided into four dangerous levels. The specific differences are as follows:

Group comparison

Secondly, according to the difference of the ignition temperature of the explosive gas mixture, the group is divided into six types: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6. The ignition temperature is represented by t(°C), and the ignition temperature of each group is :

T1 is: 450 ° C

T2 is: 300 ° C

T3 is: 200 ° C

T4 is: 135 ° C

T5 is: 100 ° C

T6 is: 85 ° C

Again, for different purposes, the explosion-proof type of explosion-proof electrical is different, the type of the main points are: 1, explosion-proof type, marked as d;

2. Increased safety type, marked as e;

3. Positive pressure type, marked as P;

4, intrinsically safe type, the logo is i,

5, oil-filled type, the mark is o;

6, sand filling type, the mark is q;

7, no spark type, the sign is n;

8, the sealing type, the mark is m;

9, airtight type, marked as h.

[Edit this paragraph]

Example

: The explosion-proof mark is dIIBT4, which means: the type of explosion-proof electrical products is explosion-proof type, which is the class IIB (class) used in Class II places, and the ignition temperature of explosive gas is T4.

Basic principle of explosion protection

Explosion concept

An explosion is a sudden change from a state, through physical or chemical changes, to another state, and the release of enormous energy. The energy released by the sharp speed will cause the surrounding objects to be subjected to violent impact and damage.

The three conditions that an explosion must have:

1) Explosive substances: substances that can react with oxygen (air), including gases, liquids and solids. (Gas: hydrogen, acetylene, methane, etc.; liquid: alcohol, gasoline; solid: dust, fiber dust, etc.) 2) Oxygen: air. 3) Ignition source: including open flame, electrical spark, mechanical spark, static spark, high temperature, chemical reaction, light energy, etc.

Why should explosion protection

Explosive substances: Some flammable substances are produced in many production sites. About two-thirds of the mines in the coal mine have explosive substances. In the chemical industry, more than 80% of the production workshops have explosive substances. Oxygen: Oxygen in the air is ubiquitous. Ignition source: A large number of electrical instruments are used in the production process. Various kinds of friction sparks, mechanical wear sparks, static sparks, high temperature, etc. are inevitable, especially when the instrument or electrical fails.

Objectively, many industrial sites meet the explosion conditions. When the mixed concentration of explosive substances and oxygen is within the explosion limit, if there is a source of explosion, an explosion will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to take explosion protection.

Principle of explosion-proof instrument

Hazardous location risk classification:

Explosive Substances Area Defines Chinese Standard North American Standard

Zone 0: Div.1 Gas (CLASS I) A place where explosive gas mixtures are present continuously or for long periods of time under normal conditions.

Zone 1: Zone 1 where explosive gas mixtures may occur under normal conditions

Zone 2: Div.2 Under normal circumstances, an explosive gas mixture is unlikely to occur, only in an abnormal situation, occasionally or in a short period of time.

Zone 10 Div.1: Dust or fiber (CLASS II/III) Under normal conditions, explosive dust or a mixture of combustible fiber and air may be continuous, frequently appearing in a short time or in a place that exists for a long time.

Zone 11 Div. 2: Under normal circumstances, explosive dust or a mixture of combustible fiber and air cannot occur, only in an abnormal situation, occasionally or in a short time.

Applicability of explosion-proof methods to hazardous locations:

2 Increased safety type e GB3836.3 Try to prevent ignition source Zone1, Zone2

3 Intrinsic safety type ia GB3836.4 Limiting the energy of the ignition source Zone0-2

Intrinsically safe ib GB3836.4 limits the energy of the ignition source Zone1, Zone2

4 Positive pressure type p GB3836.5 Hazardous substance separated from ignition source Zone1, Zone2

5 Oil-filled type o GB3836.6 Hazardous substance separated from ignition source Zone1, Zone2

Applicability of explosion protection to hazardous locations:

Explosive hazardous gas classification

According to the small spark energy that may be detonated, China and Europe and most countries and regions in the world divide explosive gas into four hazard levels, as shown in the following table:

Working condition category gas classification representative gas zui small detonation spark energy

Mine I methane 0.280mJ

Factory outside the mine IIA propane 0.180mJ

IIB ethylene 0.060mJ

IIC hydrogen 0.019mJ

The United States and Canada first divide the explosive objects scattered in the air into three CLASS categories: CLASS I gas and vapor; CLASS II dust; CLASS III fiber. Then divide the gas and dust into Groups:

Group name representative gas or dust

A acetylene

B hydrogen

C ethylene

D propane

E metal dust

F coal dust

G grain dust

Gas temperature group division:

Temperature group, safe object surface temperature, common explosive gas

T1 ≤ 450 °C 46 kinds of hydrogen, acrylonitrile, etc.

T2 ≤ 300 °C 47 kinds of acetylene, ethylene, etc.

T3 ≤ 200 °C Gasoline, crotonaldehyde and other 36 kinds

T4 ≤ 135 °C 6 kinds of acetaldehyde, tetrafluoroethylene, etc.

T5 ≤ 100 °C carbon disulfide
