Cabinets are not allowed in Class A and B workshops, but if complete sets of equipment come with their own control cabinets that are placed in such workshops, who will be held responsible in the event of an accident?
Of course, except in the case of an accident, it is the responsibility of Party A; whoever is in charge of the area is responsible for it
Designed to be placed as a complete set of equipment
Have the ordering terms been clearly defined? Is it confirmed whether they were signed by Party A or by the design institute?
The equipment layout drawing was signed off by the design institute; however, no automatic control cabinets are indicated on the drawing
Making the control cabinet explosion-proof, for example, by using a positively pressurized ventilation design, would solve the problem. This would comply with regulations and eliminate any safety hazards
The regulations clearly state that control cabinets are not allowed in Class A and Class B workshops, right?
The control cabinets for complete sets of equipment are usually placed next to the machines. For complete sets of equipment in Class A and Class B workshops, as long as they meet the requirements for explosion-proof equipment, the cabinets can also be placed within the workshops; there are no regulations stating that control cabinets cannot be placed in such workshops
That was due to insufficient consideration in the preliminary stage. Electrical explosion protection wasn’t considered at all.
