Ex Luminaire Selection — Zone 1 Zone 2 Offshore Applications
This article covers Ex Luminaire Selection — Zone 1 Zone 2 Offshore Applications. Selecting Ex luminaires for Zone 1, Zone 2, and offshore applications requires matching EPL, gas group, and T-class to the area classification. This guide explains the selection process with examples.
Overview
Understanding this equipment type is important for both CompEx Ex01/Ex02 (installation and selection) and Ex03/Ex04 (inspection). EX Academy's simulations include this equipment type across multiple scenarios.
EX Academy's inspection simulations and equipment selection scenarios include this equipment type. Each scenario presents a real work order with the equipment type, zone classification, gas group, and inspection findings or selection requirements.
Key Selection and Inspection Points
For selection: verify zone, gas group, T-class, and EPL against the area classification. For inspection: check the certificate matches the area, verify all entries are sealed, check for physical damage, and classify any deficiencies using the IEC 60079-17 Category X/A/B/C system.
