Barrier) in a Junction Box
The wiring that will be intrinsic safety circuits must be installed so that they are electrically
separated from the wiring of non-intrinsic safety circuits, including the in-cabinet wiring. Install the
wiring according to the IEC 60079-14 standards or the requirements for explosion-proof wiring of
the country where the system is used.
