ATEX multiple circuits / one breaker

ATEX multiple circuits / one breaker

ATEX multiple circuits / one breaker

(OP)
Hi there,

I am wondering, what are the constraints on supplying a number of loads in the same ATEX zone with one breaker feed and daisy-chaining them? The supply is 230V, but the load demand is very small so we were hoping to link these devices and put them all on one circuit.

Is this feasible? I am not sure on what ATEX Directive states regarding this.

Any help will be appreciated!

Regards

It may be helpful to include a little more information.
Your answer is somewhat code specific.
This is an international forum.
Code constraints vary from place to place.

The ATEX Directive consists of two EU directives specifying minimum protection criteria for the workplace and equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
