Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, got a question about ATEX regs.

We have an EXd box on site that has an optical level amp, the EXd box is over kill as it is only a zone 2 area. We need to replace the box as its damaged. Question is can we replace it with an EXn box the amp in the box isn't EX rated but is fed through a barrier.
I thought it could be fitted into any box rated or not as long as it was IP rated and labled up as Ia equipment.

Any light shed would be appricated.

Thanks

mort
