Contactors in Class I Div II area

4 posts in this topic

These enclosures will be NEMA 4X in a Class I Div II area. Obviously all the PLC components are Class I Div II rated, as is our HMI, safety components, but my concern is with components like contactors (ie, Siemens 3RH1131-1BB40). Are these OK? Each panel will have its own safety circuit utilizing a MSR safety relay and safety contactors.

Contactors must have hermetically sealed contacts, or be in purged enclosures.
