6.3.4 Temperature Classes
The maximum surface temperature for electrical components of explosion
protection 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 surface temperature for all ignition protection
types, the electrical components are subdivided into temperature classes, as
far as electrical components of explosion protection group II are con-
cerned. Here the temperatures refer to a surrounding temperature of 40 °C
for operation and testing of the electrical components. The lowest ignition
temperature of the existing explosive atmosphere must be higher than the
maximum surface temperature.
