IIC Gas group, a typical gas i hydrogen.
140°C (T3)
Maximum surface temperature assigned = 140°C with the next highest tem-
perature class T3 (T3 = 200°C).
This unit is classified in accordance with its maximum surface temperature
(external and internal).
Gc
Equipment protection level Gc (EPL Gc)
Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, having a "enhanced" level of protec-
tion, which is not a source of ignition in normal operation and which may have
some additional protection to ensure that it remains inactive as an ignition
source in the case of regular expected occurences. EPL Gc are analogous to
the ATEX Categories (Category 3 G = EPL Gc).
