Lack of equipotential bonding
Danger of explosion through compensating currents or ignition currents through lack of
equipotential bonding.
Ensure that the device is potentially equalized.
Exception: It may be permissible to omit connection of the equipotential bonding for devices
with type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i".
Unprotected cable ends
Danger of explosion through unprotected cable ends in hazardous areas.
Protect unused cable ends in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-14.
