ATEX Cable Joints – Jointing Cables In Hazardous Areas Zone 1 & Zone 2
January 15th, 2018
Cable Joints & ATEX
Uploaded By: Chris Dodds - reading time 5 minutes
The ATEX Directive covers an extensive and diverse range of equipment potentially including electrical equipment and cable accessories used on fixed offshore oil and gas platforms, in petrochemical plants, mines, flourmills and other areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere may be present – these are commonly referred to as “hazardous areas” and categorised according to the potential explosion risk into Zones under the European Directive known as ATEX.
In this post we clarify the situation with respect to the relationship between the product category “LV Cable Joints” and the European hazardous area ATEX Directive.
ATEX
A potentially explosive atmosphere exists when a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists, or dusts combine in a way that can ignite under certain operating conditions – this is referred to as a hazardous area and depending on the concentration levels this is categorised into Zones according to degree of risk as referenced below.
The ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU covers equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The Directive defines the essential health and saftey requirements and conformity assessment procedures, to be applied before products are placed on the EU market. It is aligned with the New Legislative Framework policy, and it is applicable from 20 April 2016, replacing the previous Directive 94/9/EC.
A Guidance document on the ATEX Directive transition from 94/9/EC to 2014/34/EU (371KB) is available as a download below, with a list of frequently asked questions and answers.
In very broad terms, there are 3 pre-conditions for the ATEX Directive to apply to the
electrical equipment and cable accessories for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and hazardous areas:
a) must have its own source of ignition;
b) be intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere (air mixtures); and
c) be under normal atmospheric conditions.
When used as directed, 3M cable joints and cable accessories do not have a source of ignition. The firing of an explosive atmosphere may be caused by a short circuit, but when installed according to 3M instructions, their cable joints (both resin and Cold Shrink) are safe against short circuits. To conclude, 3M cable joints and Cold Shrink accessories are not within the scope of the ATEX Directive.

Hazardous Area Zones
- Zone 1 – according to ATEX a place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.
- Zone 2 – according to ATEX a place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, persists for a short period only.

Why Specify & Install 3M Cable Joints?
Although cable joints are not formally certified according to ATEX there are several minimum specification and performance requirements for cable joints when being used to connect, repair or joint cables in hazardous areas.
Standard industrial cable joints will not provide adequate electrical insulation and mechanical protection – they utilise polyurethane resins which are not hydrocarbon resistant and will suffer chemical and molecular breakdown overtime when exposed to aggressive and corrosive atmospheres. Eventual failure of the cable joint will cause power outage and the need to cut-out the failed cable joint and re-joint using a suitable product.
3M LVI-3 type cable joints include specially formulated 3M Scotchcast 1402FR resin – this resin is hydro carbon resistant, flame retardant, halogen free and chemical resistant for use in hazardous area locations.
For this reason, 3M Scotchcast is the industry standard for hazardous area cable jointing and offshore cable joints where ATEX Directive stipulates Zone 1 or Zone 2 certified equipment must be installed – this range of cable joints suitable for power, control and instrumentation cables are approved and in service at LukOil, Royal Dutch Shell, Total, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and many other international onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration companies.
Article 500 of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
What Is NEC?
The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring, cables and equipment in the United States forming part of the National Fire Codes series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a private trade association.
According to NEC, Hazardous (Classified) Locations (HL) are defined as areas where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, dusts or fibers/flyings.
The 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) – NFPA 70 categorises these locations by Classes, Divisions and Zones and imposes strict requirements for wiring methods in these locations.
Hazardous locations are broken into different categories called Classes and Divisions per the 2014 NEC Article 500 Hazardous (Classified) Locations, Classes I, II, and III, Divisions 1 and 2. The process of classifying a potential hazardous area workplace or location is often complex, so it is generally determined by the plant engineering staff. “Class I, Division 1” is the most hazardous classification, but “Class I, Division 2” is the type most common to cable users. The various classifications are summarised in the table below. Class I and II materials are further subdivided by the NEC into “Groups” (A, B, C, etc.) as shown.
However, the type of Group has no effect on the type of cable required – T&D can recommend suitable cable joints, termination or explosion proof cable glands and connectors for all Class and Division applications.
| Class | Group (NEC 500.6) | Division (NEC 500.5) | |
| 1 | 2 | ||
| I – Gases, Vapors & Liquids | A: Acetylene B: Hydrogen, etc C: Ether, etc D: Hydrocarbons, fuels, solvents, etc |
Explosive or ignitable gases or vapors are present under normal operating conditions | Explosive or ignitable gases or vapors are not normally present (but may accidentally exist) |
| II – Dusts | E: Metal dusts F: Carbon dusts G: Flour, grain, wood or chemical dusts |
Combustible dust is in the air under normal operating conditions | Dust is not normally in the air in ignitable concentrations (but may accidentally exist) |
| III – Fibers & Flying | Textiles, wood chips, etc (ignitable but not explosive) | Easily ignitable fibers or flyings are handled, manufactured or used | Easily ignitable fibers are stored or handled. |

Insulating Matting – IEC 61111 Specifications & Selection For Switchboard Matting
January 11th, 2018
Uploaded By: Chris Dodds - reading time 5 minutes
Insulating matting is a essential component of electrical safety and is specified and installed to provide protection against electrical shock and hazards around electrical equipment, such as switchboards and switchgear – this can include Low Voltage, Medium Voltage & High Voltage.
As part of a facilities standard risk assessment, where a potential for electrocution is present, then electrical insulating safety matting (commonly referred to as switchboard or switchgear matting) is recommended in the HSE’s Safe Working Practices for Electricity At Work document (HSG85) where it references BS EN 61111: 2009 (Live Working: Electrical Insulating Matting British Standards Institution).
“providing and using correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce the
risk of contact with live parts or earth, eg insulating gloves, insulating matting
(see BS EN 61111:200917). If there is a risk of burns from arcing or flashover
that cannot be avoided, consider the use of adequately rated, thermally
insulating, flame-resistant, arc flash clothing or PPE (including face/eye protection).” HSG85
The range of CATU insulating matting conforms to the standards set out in IEC 61111 and provides MV-HV electrical protection for personnel
working on medium and high voltage switchgear, switchboards, control panels and transformers.
The IEC 61111 standard sets out the requirements that must be met and supersedes the standard CLC/TS 61111:2006 and includes the following significant technical points:
- General review of the requirements and test provisions
- Modification of the test procedure for slip resistance matting
- Specification of standard and alternative types of electrodes for the proof test
- The conditioning time for low temperature folding test of insulating matting
IEC 61111:2009 is applicable to electrical insulating matting made of elastomer for use as a floor covering for the electrical protection of workers on electrical installations, including 11kV and 33kV substations.
LV MV HV Insulting Matting Explained
Selection of insulating mats for specific applications depends on the worker exposure to operating voltage and matting is tested to withstand certain specified voltages – referred to as the safe working voltage detailed below. Electrical safety matting is tested to a higher voltage than the certified use voltage – the voltage at which the matting is certified to is the Safe Working Voltage.
CATU Electrical insulating matting is specified and tested to IEC 61111 Category C with working temperatures to – 40°C for the following voltages:
- LV Insulating Matting – Class 0 Safe Working Voltages 600V 1000V
- MV HV Insulating Matting – Class 3 Safe Working Voltage 3.3kV 6.6kV 11kV 15kV 26.5kV
- MV HV Insulating Matting – Class 4 Safe Working Voltage 3.3kV 6.6kV 11kV 15kV 33/36kV
Products that are covered by the IEC 61111 standard include live working, electrical insulating materials, insulating matting, elastomers, floor coverings, electrical safety, electric shocks, safety devices, occupational safety, classification systems, grades (quality), marking and testing.
See live working tools for further information about insulated tools in accordance with IEC Standards for working on energised low voltage cables.

Catu Electrical insulating matting
Electrical insulating matting is available in roll form for placement and rolling-out in front of medium/high voltage switchgear rooms, motor control centres (MCC), traction power substations and UPS rooms.
Portable pre-cut insulating mats are available to provide protection to site engineers and cable jointers working on electrical installations in plant and lift control gear rooms – often used to provide electrical protection when 11kV/33kV jointing, terminating and glanding cables into electrical distribution equipment.

Recommendations For Use & Storage of Matting
It is vital to store and use electrical insulating mats in the correct manner in order to prolong their lifespan and ensure they continue to function and provide the insulation levels required. When storing or transporting the matting it should be properly stored and should not be bent or deformed.
The insulated mats should also not be stored or used close to any excessive heat sources or exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. The ideal storage temperature for the mats is between 10°C and 21°C.
When using and installing any insulating matting, a visual inspection should be carried out first. If the mats are dirty they should be cleaned with soap and water and then dried, respecting the operation temperatures mentioned previously.
Ideal operating temperatures are between -40°C and 55°C and the mats should not come into contact with any chemical products as this can also damage the rubber. When installing the mats, place them on a clean smooth floor devoid of any aggressive elements.
Once installed, periodic inspection of the insulating matting should be carried out and mats should not be used if they have not been electrically tested for 12 months.
Typically, Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 matting should be tested every 12 months in accordance with IEC61111 – often a visual inspection for low voltage Class 0 insulating matting is adequate depending on matting condition. Aged matting showing clear deterioration should be subject to routine dielectric test to check and ensure insulating levels are maintained.
Insulating Matting FAQ’s 
How Do Insulating Mats Work?
Rubber is a natural dielectric material and therefore inhibits the flow of electric charge as a result of its molecular structure preventing the free flow of electrons.
Where Should I Use Insulating Matting?
Insulating matting should be installed in front of low, medium and high voltage switchboards, in front of machine control gear, in plant and lift gear control rooms and as portable protection for site engineers working on live electrical equipment.
Matting should also be used in conjunction with electrical safety equipment such as insulating gloves, insulating boots and in some cases arc flash protection clothing.
What Sizes Are Mats Available In?
The working voltage and size of matting is dependent upon the class of the mat. CATU insulating matting is supplied in 5m or 10m long rolls and as either 0.6m wide, 1m wide or 1.2m wide dependent on class. The thickness of the matting is also dependent on voltage class.
What Is The Double Triangle?
Matting with the “double-triangle” symbol confirms the insulating matting is suitable for live working according to IEC 60417-5216.
