15.2 Description

The control units / distribution boxes of the type GHG 44 * * * ** * ****, GHG 619 ** ** * **** and
EXKO * ***** * **** in the types of protection Increased Safety "eb" and Protection by Enclosure "tb"
against dust explosion are used for fusing, controlling, switching, distributing and branching
electrical energy, e.g. main circuits, lighting circuits, heating circuits, control circuits, intrinsically
safe circuits, etc.
The control devices / distribution boxes are suitable for use in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
Industrial components can also be used in the dust variant for Zone 21. A thermal analysis is also
carried out for this.

The used empty enclosure series of polyester or metal is separately tested and certified according
to ATEX certificate PTB 99 ATEX 3118 U.

Many different separately certified components and devices can be installed in the enclosure
according to the manufacturer's documentation (e.g. list of components).
In the case of intrinsically safe circuits in the control unit, this is a simple apparatus according to
EN 60079-11 and a marking must be added on the enclosure. The creepage and clearance
distances between the intrinsically safe circuits and earth, between two different intrinsically safe
circuits and between intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits are taken into account when
installing the terminals.

In the case of flameproof, encapsulated, intrinsically safe or increased safety installations, the
marking on the enclosure must be supplemented accordingly.

15.3 Parameters

Rated voltage 1 up to 690 V AC/DC

Rated current 2 up to 400 A
Cross section 3 up to 300 mm²
1 The rated voltage depends on the used type of components / devices and the creepage
and clearance distances.
2 The rated current depends on the used type of components / devices, the cross section
and the number of conductors.
3 According to the cross section / current table for each size of enclosure.

Ambient temperature range: -55 °C Tamb +55 °C

To determine the thermal parameters, a calculation tool which has been tested for this purpose is
used. The suitability of the calculation tool was tested as part of the approval IECExPTB19.0021
with practically determined values.

16 Report Number

BVS PP 02.2017 EU, as of 2022-02-16

17 Special Conditions for Use

None

Note:
Depending on the selection of components, the ambient temperature range can be reduced.

The instructions for use of the separately certified components and devices used must be
provided by the manufacturer to the user by passing on the complete and relevant
documentation.
