EJB-... series Aluminium junction boxes gas group IIB+H2

EJB series junction boxes are suitable for installation in any areas of a plant where there is a risk of explosion and/or fire, or areas
where combustible dust is present, classified as Zone 1, 2, 21, 22. The quality of this product is recognized and valued the world
over for its specific aluminium alloy and the mechanical property of its finishes. The EJB series is mostly used as a box to carry
terminals and busbars, fuse carriers, transformers, reactors and barriers, though it is also used to produce control and signalling
boards, light and power boards and surge arresters, and motor starter boxes with various configurations, which are custom made
to the requirements of our customers worldwide.

Cortem Group labels its products with a non-removable adhesive label featuring a hologram
and an alphanumerical univocal code, as a safety measure against the illegal sale of fakes
so that all the products are guaranteed as original. Non-compliance with the International
standards entails serious risks for the environment, especially for those working daily on the plants.

EJB-7 detail

Detail of box AQS-1

The AQS-1 series junction boxes

have been designed to contain
distribution terminal blocks and
control switches.
Its particular compactness and
the inward flange makes them
ideal for all those applications
in which it is necessary to
realize control panels of small
dimensions with the possibility of installing modular switches side by side with different types
of poles and amperage. The standard hinged lid and silicone gasket make this junction box a
qualitative, economical and compact choice.

ED.2025 C.7
 EJB-... series Aluminium junction boxes gas group IIB+H2
Aluminium enclosures with solid lids are used when there is a need to install a greater number of control and signalling devices than
can be accommodated on the same enclosure with a ribbed lid or when handles need to be installed in certain positions on the lid.

EJB-... series Features of junction boxes with terminals

These enclosures are customized based on size, on the number of terminals or cables they are due to accommodate, or taking into account the number
of cable entries and cabling requirements inside a system. Hence we can produce tailor-made solutions as long as you provide us with the appropriate
parameters required at the quote request stage, such as the number of cable glands, unions or sealing fittings to be installed, so that we can determine the
most suitable size of enclosure. All terminals can be fitted with your requested accessories and mounted on special rails that are fastened to the enclosure's
internal mounting frames. Terminal strips can be arranged in various ways, as specified by the customer and always within the limits allowed by the certificate.
The options are vertical, horizontal, in a number of rows, or on different levels using suitable spacers.

Features of junction boxes for control, monitoring and signalling units

Control, monitoring and signalling units are used to produce control boards that, when positioned near the electrical equipment being controlled, enable the
electrical system to operate correctly and guarantee the safety of personnel when maintenance is being performed on the system. Because they are fitted with
a Manual/Automatic selector, they allow operators to select the appropriate conditions to enable work to be performed entirely safely. They offer protection
and control for electrical equipment and control circuits located in explosion hazard areas and in particularly aggressive environments. They are used to hold
electrical equipment, such as switches, indicators, contactors, transformers, analogue and digital components, etc.... with the option of external control by
using lid-mounted Cortem control and signalling devices, such as control levers, pushbuttons, indicator lights, etc.... Cortem designs, develops and supplies
full cabling for one or more enclosures tailored to your specific requirements, producing panel boards - including even extremely complex solutions - and
providing a full inspection and testing service on request.

Rated frequency: 50 / 60Hz
Max. wattage for lamps: 3 W (for Ta +55°C)
Associated apparatus: max. voltage Um≤250V

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

The maximum power dissipation inside the enclosure depends on the maximum current on contacts and fuses, the size of the
enclosure, the temperature class (or maximum surface temperature for 2GD category) and ambient temperature, as specified in
the maximum power dissipation tables (see previous page).
The maximum power dissipation must not exceed the values given in the table when non-'Ex i' components and 'Ex i' components
(with 1.1W maximum power dissipation) are installed together.
The maximum power dissipation possible inside the enclosure will also depend on the maximum power dissipation of terminals,
contacts and cables; whatever the case, the current density value allowed in the enclosure is prescribed by EN 60439-1, IEC
60439-1.

Details of barrier mounting inside enclosures

The "omega" rail, in accordance with EN 60079-11, is suitable for mounting barriers inside 'Ex d' enclosures.
Barriers are mounted (according to the manufacturer's directions) 7.5 mm away from the base of the enclosure and are secured to
the DIN rail with 2 earth terminals (nominal cross-sectional area 6-10 mm) and 2 standard terminals for omega rails (EN 60079-
11).
Up to how many barriers can be installed in the enclosures will depend on the properties of the barriers in question; in addition, the
maximum number of barriers must not exceed the limit allowed by the certificate in any case.

Associated equipment can also be mounted on a DIN rail; when it is mounted on the enclosure's internal mounting plate, reference
must be made to the minimum prescribed distances. Whether mounted on a rail or mounting plate, associated equipment must meet
the following requirements:
Separators
When separators are used, they must be appropriately sized; their thickness and fastening inside the enclosure must be suitably
determined and separators must allow air to circulate inside the enclosure.
Incoming cables
Incoming cables for 'Ex i' circuits must be suitably labelled or the area around the entry must be coloured blue RAL 5015. 'Ex i'
entries must be clearly identified
Installation of 'Ex i' and non-'Ex i' components inside the enclosure.
Ex d IIB certified enclosures complete with accessories can contain only Ex ia IIB/IIC associated equipment; in this case, the
resulting version becomes Ex d [ia] IIB.
Connection of internal cables
Cables are connected inside the enclosure to the barriers in accordance with EN 60079-11, with one side for connecting 'Ex i'
cables and the opposite side for connecting non-'Ex i' cables.
Connection in 'Ex i' circuits must be made using insulated cables only; there must be no connections to non-'Ex i' circuits and no
more than one cable can be connected to a single terminal. 'Ex i' cables cannot be grouped together with non-'Ex i' cables; in
addition, 'Ex i' cables and non-'Ex i' cables must be kept separated. The minimum distance between the 2 types of cables must be
8 mm. The minimum insulation level for non-'Ex i' cables must be greater than 1.5 kV; the minimum insulation level for 'Ex i' cables
must be greater than 0.5 kV.
Internal connections
When routing cables belonging to 'Ex i' circuits, the cables must be identified in one of the following ways:
• cables must have blue insulation (as long as there are no other cables inside the enclosure with this colour).
• 'Ex i' cables must be kept separate from non-'Ex i' cables with blue cable raceways.
• 'Ex i' cables must be grouped together, using a tie, for example, and the area identified with a blue label.
Warning 'Ex i' circuits

• cables for power circuits must have a cross-sectional area of at least 1.5 mm2.
• 'Ex i' circuits must be kept at a distance of 50 mm from non-'Ex i' circuits.
• the earth connection must meet European standard EN 60079-14.

C.16 ED.2025
 EJB-... series Features of junction boxes with interface units

The number of items of equipment mounted inside the enclosures and their layout will vary based on the following:
• in accordance with EN 60079-1 and IEC 60079-1, the equipment contained inside the enclosure can be arranged in any
way provided that at least 40% of the surface area of each section is left free.
• equipment must be set at a suitable distance to accommodate cable wiring.

 EJB-... series Junction boxes with round viewing windows

EJB series junction boxes are used as enclosures for electrical equipment that requires a visual interface with the outside. Voltmeters,
ammeters and other analogue and digital measuring instruments are typical examples of installations that require a window
for taking direct readings. These enclosures are also used to house monitoring instruments such as infra-red photoelectric cells
and twilight sensors that provide pulses for control and signalling equipment (opening/closing, alarms, etc....). Our technical
department will decide what size enclosures to use based on your requirements and determine the internal layout so that all the
dimensional and electrical parameters prescribed by the certificate are met. We can install equipment to your specifications within
the technical limits allowed by the certificate and based on our standard control and signalling devices.
