This document replaces GB/T 3836.18-2017 "Explosive atmospheres - Part 18: Intrinsically safe electrical systems". Compared with GB/T 3836.18-2017, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows: - CHANGE the content of the system description file (see Chapter 4; Chapter 4 of the 2017 edition); - CHANGE the requirements for categories and temperature groups, including the original Chapter 7 ambient temperature ratings (see Chapter 5; Chapters 5 and 7 of the 2017 edition); Explosive atmospheres - Part 18: Intrinsically safe electrical systems1 Scope
This document specifies special requirements for the design, structure, and assessment of intrinsically safe systems (explosion-proof type "i"). This document applies to intrinsically safe systems that are intended to be used in whole or in part in places where Class I, Class II or Class III Ex equipment is required. Note 1: This document is used for the design and assessment of intrinsically safe systems; its personnel may be the manufacturer, third-party organization, expert consultant or end-user staff. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of GB/T 3836.1 and the intrinsic safety type of GB/T 3836.4. When the requirements of this document conflict with the requirements of GB/T 3836.1 or GB/T 3836.4, the requirements of this document take precedence. The installation requirements of Class II or Class III intrinsically safe systems, which are designed in accordance with this document, are specified in GB/T 3836.15. Note 2: GB/T 3836.15 currently does not specify the installation requirements for Class I; the installation requirements for Class I are under consideration.2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents constitute essential clauses of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, for dated references, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document. GB/T 3836.1 Explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Equipment - General requirements (GB/T 3836.1-2021, IEC 60079-0:2017, MOD) GB/T 3836.4 Explosive atmospheres - Part 4: Equipment protection by intrinsic safety "i" (GB/T 3836.4-2021, IEC 60079-11:2011, MOD) GB/T 3836.15 Explosive atmospheres - Part 15: Electrical installations design, selection and erection (GB/T 3836.15-2017, IEC 60079-14:2007, MOD) GB/T 16657.2 Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 2: connection to the combined power source: - Maximum external capacitance Co; and - Maximum external inductance Lo; or - Maximum inductance to resistance ratio L/R of the connecting cable. Any test-based verification shall be performed using a spark test device in accordance with GB/T 3836.4, taking into account the safety factor of the combined device. The Ui, Ii, Pi of each device in the system shall be greater than or equal to the Uo, Io, Po determined above, respectively. Note 2: Appendix E illustrates the analysis used in the most common combination of linear resistor-limited output power sources. Alternatively, GB/T 3836.15 provides a simplified analysis for Class II circuits with protection level "ib" where the power source is an associated device. The analysis may also include a spark ignition test in accordance with GB/T 3836.4. 12.5.2 Systems containing linear and non-linear power sources The assessment of a system containing multiple power sources, one or more of which are non-linear, shall be performed by a person with appropriate competence and knowledge in the design and safety of non-linear intrinsically safe power sources. This assessment cannot be based solely on open circuit voltage and short circuit current. Any special conditions related to the system shall be clearly stated in the system descriptive document. If the intrinsically safe system contains multiple power sources, one or more of which are non-linear, the assessment method described in Appendix E does not apply. Appendix F describes how to perform a system analysis for a combination containing a single non-linear power source. Figure 1 illustrates the principle of system analysis. If the power sources have different output voltages, any additional losses in the regulating circuit need to be considered. For non-linear sources, the combined Lo/Ro may be determined by testing the circuit using the spark ignition test in GB/T 3836.4 with several discrete values of Lo and Ro, using values of Ro ranging from nearly short circuit (maximum Io) to nearly open circuit (Io near zero), and establishing a trend that ensures that Lo/Ro passes the spark ignition test. Note 1: Appendix F provides further guidance, including an assessment method that does not require spark ignition testing for systems with no more than one non-linear source. ......Source: Above contents are excerpted from the full-copy PDF -- translated/reviewed by: www.ChineseStandard.net / Wayne Zheng et al.
