The entity concept allows interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus
with associated apparatus not specifically examined in combination as a system
when the approved values of V
oc
and I
sc
or V
t
and I
t
of the associated apparatus
are less than or equal to V
max
and I
max
of the intrinsically safe apparatus and the
approved values of C
a
and L
a
of the associated apparatus are greater than C
i
+
C
cable
and L
i
+ L
cable
respectively for the intrinsically safe apparatus.
