    RAFAEL ENRIQUE RAMOS
    This document discusses electrical equipment protection techniques for different explosion risk zones according to IEC standards for gas groups. Zone 0 requires protection by flameproof enclosures, intrinsic safety, or encapsulation. Zone 1 allows for additional techniques like purged/pressurized enclosures, increased safety, or liquid immersion. Zone 2 has the most options, including flameproof enclosures, purged/pressurized enclosures, increased safety, intrinsic safety, or encapsulation. The document provides an overview of explosion protection techniques and applicable IEC standards for each zone and gas group.
