Connectors in Class 1 Zone 2 Hazardous Location

[dinocu]

Section 18-152(8) of the CEC says:

"Cable glands shall be compatible with the degree of protection and explosion protection provided by the enclosure that the cable enters, where the area classification and environmental conditions require these degrees of protection"

My question is, if I have a cabinet marked as EEx nAde IIC T4, can I use a Teck connector marked as ExeII. Im thinking not.

Also if I have a Class 1 Zone 2 cabinet that is pressurized (Type Z), do the Teck connectors entering the cabinet have to have a sealing compound.

Thanks for your help.

dinocu,
Your cabinet is EEx nAde. That means it is of non sparking protection, with main protection "d" with increased safety "e" terminals (again non-sparking).Therefore, in my opinion you can use Exe teck cable connectors.With the Type Z, you should have sealing compounds.
