Improper laying of shielded cables
Risk of explosion through compensating currents between hazardous area and the
non‑hazardous area.
● Shielded cables that cross into hazardous areas should be grounded only at one end.
● If grounding is required at both ends, use an equipotential bonding conductor.
Uncovered non-intrinsically safe circuits
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas or electric shock when working on non-intrinsically safe
circuits.
If intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits are operated in an enclosure with the type
of protection "Increased safety Ex e", the connections of the non-intrinsically safe circuits must
be additionally covered.
● Ensure that the cover of the non-intrinsically safe circuits complies with degree of
● Separate connections of the non-intrinsically safe circuits in accordance with IEC/
Insufficient isolation of intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas.
● When connecting intrinsically safe and non‑intrinsically safe circuits ensure that isolation
