3. Installation Instructions
Type of protection increased safety "e" for the temperature sensors is obtained by the construction of the measuring
element and its fit in slots of the stator windings of rotating electrical machines with a rated insulation voltage of up to
11 kV in type of protection increased safety "e" per EN/IEC 60079-7, flameproof enclosure "d" per EN/IEC 60079-1,
or pressurized apparatus "p" per EN/IEC 60079-2.
For type of protection increased safety "e", the temperature sensor, mounted in the rotating electrical machine, must
be subjected to the dielectric strength tests, required for the rotating electrical machine.
The temperature sensor must be installed in such a way that it is protected against mechanical danger.
The leads of the temperature sensor, for connection to the measuring circuit, must be connected to suitable Ex e
terminals in a suitable Ex e enclosure.
4. Special Conditions of Safe Use – Ex ia

The equipment is intrinsically safe and can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The apparatus must be only connected to certified associated intrinsically safe equipment and this combination must
be compatible as regards to intrinsic safety rules.
The electrical parameters of the associated intrinsically safe equipment must not exceed any of the following values:
Ui = 20 V and Pi = 170 mW.
The connection of the cable must be effected in an enclosure with a minimum protection degree IP20 per paragraph
6.1 of EN 60079-11:2012.
The apparatus must be installed in the stator slots of rotating equipment where non-metallic surfaces are not in
contact with the atmosphere.
For a temperature class T6, T5, T4 or T3 per EN 60079-0:2009, the maximum ambient temperature depends on the
power dissipated in the temperature sensor as listed in the following table:
Power Maximum Maximum Maximum Maximum

Dissipated in the Temperature Temperature Temperature Temperature
Sensor (W) Class T6 Class T5 Class T4 Class T3
0.01 78°C 93°C 128°C 180°C
0.05 70°C 85°C 120°C 180°C
0.10 60°C 75°C 110°C 175°C
0.17 45°C 60°C 95°C 160°C
5. Temperature Classes and Calculations – Ex ia

See table below for the temperature class matching the maximum ambient temperature for electrical apparatus in
group II per EN 60079-0.
Temperature Class Maximum Ambient Temperature Security Factor
T3 +200°C 5°C
T4 +135°C 5°C
T5 +100°C 5°C
T6 +85°C 5°C
Temperature class changes are function of the ambient temperature. Under no conditions may the surface
temperature of the sensor exceed the temperature class. The surface temperature includes the temperature increase
caused by the power dissipation plus the ambient temperature. There is also a security factor based on the ambient
temperature that must be considered. The security factor is 5°C for ambient temperatures below or equal to 200° (T6,
T5, T4, T3 classes).

To determine the temperature class you must calculate the maximum surface temperature of the sensor.
Example:
The above table can be rewritten for temperature class calculations at higher temperatures. The right column gives
you the surface temperature increase due to the power dissipation.
Power Dissipated Maximum Ambient Temperature Temperature Increase Due to

in the Sensor (W) for a Temperature Class T6 Power Dissipation
0.01 +78°C 2°C (80°C – 78°)
0.05 +70°C 10°C (80°C - 70°)
0.10 +60°C 20°C (80°C - 60°)
0.17 +45°C 35°C (80°C - 45°)
The maximum surface temperature is calculated as follows: Tsurface = Tambient + Tpower dissipation
If the explosive atmosphere is 45°C and the power is 0.17W the surface temperature is:
Tsurface = 45 + 35 = 80°C
The temperature class must be greater than the surface temperature plus the security factor:
Tsurface + Tsecurity factor = 80 + 5 = 85°C
The lowest temperature class that meets this requirement is T6 (85°C) per EN 60079-0.
