IECEx / ATEX / UKCA Terminal and Cross-Connector Arrangements:
Max voltage data according to IEC/EN 60079-7 in conjunction with protective
conductor terminal blocks of the WPE-Series, (increased safety “eb”):
Application Case
- A Continuous
- B Adjacent – separated by a partition plate
- C Intermediate – bridging one or more unconnected terminals (e.g. every 3rd terminal) Next to a protective conductor terminal (earth) without a partition plate
- D Cross-connection with twin parallel

Note:
If smaller cross sections than the rated cross section are used, the belonging
lower current has to be laid down in the IECEx/EC-Type Examination Certificate
of the complete apparatus.
Mounting instructions:
The WDU/WPE series is suitable for application in enclosures in atmospheres
with flammable gases or combustible dust. For use in flammable gases these
enclosures must satisfy the requirements according to IEC/EN60079-0 and
IEC/EN60079-7. For use in combustible dust these enclosures must satisfy the
requirements according to IEC/EN60079-0 and IEC/EN60079-31. Regarding the use
of accessories the instructions of the manufacturer must be followed.
Schedule of Limitations:
The WDU/WPE terminals are suitable for use in enclosures in atmospheres with
flammable gases or combustible dust. For flammable gases these enclosures must
satisfy the requirements according to IEC/EN60079-0 and IEC/EN60079-7. For
combustible dust the enclosure must satisfy the requirements according to
IEC/EN60079-0 and IEC/EN60079-31. The terminal blocks shall be placed inside a
suitable IECEx/ATEX/UKCA certified IP54 enclosure for gas atmosphere. For dust
atmosphere the terminal blocks shall be mounted inside a suitable
IECEx/ATEX/UKCA certified certified ‘t’ enclosure (IEC/EN60079-31). Under
normal operating conditions the temperature rise of the terminal blocks is
maximum 40 K, measured at the maximum permitted rated current. Due to the
above mentioned, the terminal blocks may be used in apparatus of temperature
classes T6..T1 as long as the terminal block ambient temperature range is not
exceeded. No part of terminal block must exceed 110 °C under any condition.
- T6 (- 60°C … +40 °C)
- T5 (- 60°C … +55 °C)
- T4 (- 60°C … +70 °C)
When using the type WDU/WPE especially with other terminal blocks series or
sizes or accessories the requirements for clearance and creepage distances
according to IEC/EN60079-7 must be observed. Regarding the use of covers,
cross-connectors and end brackets the instructions of the manufacturer must be
followed. For cross connection accessories, current rating, resistance across
the terminal and torque values please refer to the table under “technical
data” above. The terminal can be used with either one or two wires into either
side of the terminal. When two wires are used they must be of the same type,
and of equal sizes. No other wire sizes or types than the ones specified in
instructions must be used. The terminal blocks must either be mounted next to
another block of the same type and size or with an end plate. If smaller
conductor cross sections than the rated conductor cross sections are used,
then the corresponding lower current shall be stated in the Certificate of the
complete apparatus.
Unused terminals shall be tightened.
Essential Health and Safety Requirements:
Concerning ESRs this Schedule verifies compliance with the Annex II of ATEX /
Schedule 1 of UKCA directive and Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for
Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2016 only. By placing the
product on the market, the manufacturer declares compliance with other
relevant Directives, and all other safety related requirements including those
of Annex II / Schedule 1 of these Directives.
