9.3.4 Temperature Classes
The maximum surface temperature for electrical components of device group I
is 150 °C (danger due to coal dust deposits) or 450 °C (if there is no danger of
coal dust deposit).
In line with the maximum permissible surface temperature for all ignition
protection types, the electrical components are subdivided into temperature
classes, as far as electrical components of device group II are concerned.
The maximum surface temperature of any electrical equipment must always be
less than the ignition temperature of the explosive atmosphere occurring in its
area of use.
It goes without saying that an equipment fulfilling the requirements of tem-
perature class T3 is also suitable for use in explosive atmospheres of tempera-
ture classes T1 and T2.
