(Main)Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres - Oil immersion "o"
Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres - Oil immersion "o"
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the construction and testing of oil-immersed electrical apparatus, oil-immersed parts of electrical apparatus and Ex components in the type of protection o, intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of gas, vapour and mist. This European Standard supplements EN 50014, the requirements of which apply to oil-immersed electrical apparatus. This European Standard is applicable to electrical apparatus and parts of electrical apparatus which are not ignition capable in normal operation. Compliance of the electrical apparatus shall be assessed against IEC 70-15 except for those parts designed to comply with EN 50020. Note: This European Standard assumes that the electrical apparatus immersed in the protective liquid is fixed in its operating position in accordance with the installation instructions
