Abstract

The paper aims to address what types of protection can be applied to galvanic elements and batteries that are used in potentially explosive atmospheres. In order to keep electrical equipment in operation in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres under harsh conditions, including galvanic elements and batteries, a certain type of protection must be applied for safe operation. The types of protection applied to galvanic elements and batteries are made in accordance with EN 60079-0 and in compliance with the requirements of the ATEX directive - 2014-34 EU. Galvanic cells and batteries in order to be used in potentially explosive environments must meet certain conditions, namely: All galvanic cells in a battery must have the same electrochemical system, design and rated capacity, and must be made by the same manufacturer, All batteries must be installed and used so as to be within the permissible limits defined by the galvanic cell or battery manufacturer, Primary and secondary galvanic cells or batteries must not be used within the same equipment enclosure if they are easily interchangeable, The technical standard EN 60079-0 applies to all electrical equipment and covers factors directly related to the types of protection applied to electrical equipment operating in hazardous areas where the hazard may be caused by gases, vapours, mist, dust, fibres or flammable substances.
