Project planning and installation of electrical Ex heating systems from a single source
December 2025
Electrical heating systems for use in Ex areas are individually planned based on specific customer requirements. It is therefore crucial for the planning of the Ex solution to examine all relevant aspects at an early stage.
In the context of explosion protection, the specifications must be carefully coordinated with the customer, i.e. the Ex parameters, e.g. zone classification and equipment categories, as well as Ex key figures for combustible substances (gases, vapours and dusts) must be defined.
Electrical devices for heating, control and regulation are now naturally finding their way into safe Ex applications. The development of international protection concepts and standards (EN IEC 60079-0 ff) in electrical engineering has made a decisive contribution to this.
The planning and installation of electrical Ex heating systems must be carried out professionally. For this mix of tasks, planners and electricians will find comprehensive information on the selection and installation of electrical equipment in Ex areas in DIN EN IEC 60079-14. The equipment labelling provides all the essential information.
We offer a practical overview of Ex labelling as a PDF file.
