Hi all,
I'm putting together electrical area classification drawings for a facility that handles ethylene oxide. We've figured out all of the trenches that are affected; however, I've been left with a question: What distance does non-explosion proof equipment have to be from below grade Div 1 areas in order to be considered safe? We may have to move some pumps away from the trenches, but we have no idea how far out they need to be.
Thanks!
