Abstract

The assessment of explosion-protected electrical equipment is based on the requirements of the ATEX 2014/34 / EU Directive and is made through tests and verifications carried out according to harmonized standards (of the EN 60079 series). For the type of protection flameproof enclosure, the EN 60079-0 (for general requirements) and the standard for the type of protection flameproof enclosure (EN 60079-1) are used. A breathing device is defined as a device which permits an exchange between the atmosphere within an enclosure and the surrounding atmosphere and which maintains the integrity of the type of protection. Also, draining devices are defined as devices which permits liquids to flow out from an enclosure and which maintains the integrity of the type of protection. The flameproof breathing and draining devices must incorporate permeable elements and shall withstand the pressure created by an internal explosion in the enclosure to which they are mounted. They also must prevent the explosion from being transmitted to the explosive atmosphere surrounding the enclosure. In the standard SR EN 60079-1 are specified the type tests to which the breathing and drainage devices are subjected and the order in which these tests are performed.
