Explosion-proof wiring
Thread Content
Help: The intrinsically safe cable is connected to the equipment, with about 2 cm of it exposed outside (the outermost blue shielding layer of the cable has been removed). Due to issues with the equipment, it’s difficult to use connectors such as gland connectors; what are some good solutions? Is direct exposure dangerous?
It cannot be exposed directly; it’s better to use an explosion-proof wire gland. It would be best to send photos so that everyone can provide more accurate advice.
The cable is similar to what is shown in the picture; assuming that the black wire is replaced with a safety current, the wiring as shown will result in part of it being exposed.
As the original poster said, the cable protection is not of a continuous protection type； First, handle the cable ends properly and connect the wires; use tape together with heat shrink tubing to protect the connection points.
Theoretically, it’s not dangerous, but it’s not done that way; you can simply wrap it with electrical insulating tape, which will protect it from rain and moisture
It was properly handled with heat-shrink tubing and tape; the suggestions for handling it downstairs were excellent
