To ensure the safe use of electrical equipment in hazardous areas, certain information is needed for implementing a Hazardous Area System. This includes determining the area classification, identifying the apparatus or gas group, knowing the “T” rating or ignition temperature of the hazard, and specifying the required IP rating of the equipment. By considering these factors, the implementation of a Hazardous Area System guarantees the appropriate use of electrical equipment in hazardous environments.
