- electrical shock during normal use and in the event of faults,
- thermal effects,
- overcurrent,
- fault currents,
- overvoltage,
- undervoltage,
- variations in voltage and frequency,
- power supply failure,
- ignition of explosive gas atmosphere,
- electromagnetic disturbances, and
- health hazard as a result of electromagnetic fields.
An earthing system shall be installed to prevent static electricity in connection with explosive atmospheres.
A lightning protection system shall be considered.
