ATEX Stranded Wire Needed?
ATEX Stranded Wire Needed?
(OP)
I am not an electrical engineer. I have been given a project that has 2 ATEX approved solenoids connected to an ATEX approved junction box with a termial strip. The solenoids are connected to the juction box with ATEX approved fittings. I have to connect the solenoid terminals to the terminal strip in the junction box. With this being totally enclosed and all ATEX approved components DO I NEED ATEX APPROVED STRANDED WIRE TO CONNECT THE SOLENOIDS TO THE TERMINAL STRIP?
Do I need ATEX wire to connect the earth grounds?

The type of cable can also depend on the client requirements.
In my experience the glands needed should be Hawke 501/453 type, they are ATEX certified.
And the type of cable could be for example... Draka 2 core 1.5mm fire resistant black sheath cable.
