This Part of BS 5126 specifies requirements for flameproof supply and control units designed primarily for use in the coal mining industry on 1 100 V three-phase a.c. circuits containing three-phase transformers intended for supplying electrically operated drilling machines. Provision is also made for operation on other voltages, where required.

In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in clause 4 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied.

NOTE 1 To facilitate cross-reference and subject location recall between the Parts of this standard, a uniformity of clause arrangements is maintained. At subclause level, because of the different purposes and individual technical features of the four types of control unit, some differences in title and/or subclause arrangements have been unavoidable, but have been made without disturbing the general pattern.

NOTE 2 The figures in this standard show only those features and dimensions essential for function and interchangeability. Dimensions are in millimetres. Untoleranced values less than 100 mm are ± 0.15 mm and those greater than 100 mm are ± 0.25 mm.
