HAWKE
Hawke Connectors
Hawke International is a world leader in hazardous area cable glands. In addition, CCS also offers a
complete range of Hawke Exe GRP Enclosures, Exe Stainless Steel Enclosures and Ex Connectors.
Junction Boxes
Electrical enclosures and junction boxes are specified for safe low voltage power distribution in
industrial and hazardous area applications including oil, gas, petrochemicals, mining, energy,
marine and offshore electrical systems.
Pulling Applications
When the correct cablegrip is selected, cable installation through
ducts, conduits and trenches is considerably easier. The cablegrip Contact CCS
adds little to the overall diameter of the cable for any specific
and “free passage” is normally available cable grip solution
through sheave blocks and pipes. required by your
Cablegrips can often be used on a “new for application
old” cable replacement by applying two grips
on a back-to-back basis with a solid link or
swivel between grips. This method uses the old
cable to pull through the new replacement. Swivel links
can be used to allow for reduced torque build-up induced
by the pulling equipment and inherent lay
in the cables. Lace up cablegrips can be
applied anywhere along the cable length,
preventing overloading of the cable.

Introduction
The EFP Series of electrical connectors is a comprehensive line of power, control and instrumentation
electrical connectors products. This series is certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2, certified to Exd, Exde
and T classified locations with IP68 environmental sealing characteristics.
EFP Series electrical connectors may be specified for use in Oil, Gas and Petro-Chemical applications,
land-based and offshore drilling systems and pharmaceutical grade applications.
Areas of application include power, control and instrumentation circuits requiring quick and safe
connection and disconnection in service.
This series is also readily available, with an extensive inventory to support small or large requirements.
The EFP Series of connectors are designed for use with both single and multi-conductor cable types
and are designed for service in the most demanding environments.
The connector bodies are manufactured from hard anodized aluminum, alternative materials such as brass
and stainless steel, nickel aluminum bronze and titanium are also available.
EFP series connectors are designed for quick mating and unmating in service. Cable accommodations
including armored and sheathed allow industrial, offshore, and petrochemical type cables to be terminated
in various manners depending on cable type as well as application and regulatory requirements.
Receptacles are available for panel or cable ‘inline’ mounting. Receptacles with a potting adaptor can be
installed into either an EEx ‘d’ flameproof, EEx ‘e’ increased safety or EEx ‘p’ purged type enclosure
systems. The contact termination methods available are solder, crimp or pressure termination depending
on insert selection. Contact materials are copper alloys and various plating options are available depending
on application and ampacity. Silver and gold plating, over copper contacts are standard.
The EFP series lends itself to both single and multi-conductor applications, with a comprehensive range of
inserts to suit wire size 18 AWG (0.75mm2) to 1111 MCM (563mm2).
Multipole power inserts are available up to 600 amperes at 1000V, Single pole power to1135 amperes at
1000V. Control and instrumentation inserts are available in 2 through 143 contacts. Composite inserts
(power & control) are also readily available.
For planned non intermate ability connectors maybe furnished with alternate key positions and may be
color coded for visual identification.
EFP Series connectors share common insert configurations with the HDS series of connectors, allowing
for a complete systems integration in both hazardous and non hazardous locations.
The EFP Connector series is certified in compliance with the ATEX Directive, European Community Directive
94/09/EC (see pages 68 and 69 for a more thorough explanation of ATEX directives).
To ensure operator and equipment safety this directive covers a wide field of safety requirements including:
• Integrated safely requirements
• Specific conditions of inspection and maintenance
• Environmental conditions
• Marking
• Instructions for use
• Choice of materials
• Design and manufacture
• Potential ignition sources such as sparking, electric arcs, high surface temperatures
• Explosive atmospheres caused by the presence of gas, vapors and mist
• Explosive atmospheres caused by the presence of air-dust mixtures.
The connection system has a “component acceptance” approval number which simplifies the certification
procedure of equipment to which the EFP Series can be fitted.
This means that the connector is accepted as being suitable for use on other certified Flameproof equipment.
It will not be necessary to submit documentation or connector samples for repeat examination and testing when it
is incorporated into new flameproof equipment designs.
EEC is committed to developing the EFP series in accordance with the ATEX directive and regulatory requirements.

Temporary but safe connecting and disconnecting of power is critical in many industries. In order to maintain this
safety requirement, Elecquip has introduced a new series of EExd Connectors that are ATEX approved, easy to use
and exceptionally robust. They allow for safe and rapid service, repair and replacement of key plant, or provide
quick connection to temporary equipment. Their application is beneficial in high-productivity environments where
minimum interruption of service is essential.
The connectors are ideal for Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive environments commonly found in oil and gas
exploration, production and process plants. However, their features also offer benefits in Zone 21 and Zone 22
explosive dust environments, or in harsh and hostile non-explosive applications.
In compliance with the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC), the design retains many of the features of Elecquip’s already
high-quality connectors, but in addition adding innovations based on your user feedback. The heavy-duty,
maintenance free stainless-steel body construction is retained, along with the acclaimed Acme mating thread:
enabling quick connection whilst preventing thread binding or galling.

CE Marking Introduction
The CE Marking is intended to facilitate the free movement of products within the European Union. By affixing CE marking
to products, the manufacturer is making a legal declaration that the product meets with the appropriate requirements of all
relevant European Directives. CE marking only applies to products within the scope of the Directives. It should not be applied
to products if they are outside the
EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
Most electrical and electronic products made or sold in the EU must:
• Be constructed so they do no cause excessive electromagnetic interference and are not unduly
affected by electromagnetic interference
• In the case of certain radio-transmitting equipment, be subject to EC type examination by a notified body
• Carry CE marking
Cable glands are not considered to come within the scope of the Directive, however we have carried out independent
third-party testing on the EMC shielding effectiveness of our armored type cable glands fitted into single wire armored and
braided-type cables. The electromagnetic ingress between the cable sample (perfect connection) and that of the cable
sample fitted with the cable gland was of such a small magnitude that it could be regarded as within acceptable uncertainty
of measurement. As such, it can be concluded that the shielding effectiveness of single wire armored or braided cable is
maintained when fitted with an appropriate Hawke armored type cable gland.
Low Voltage Directive
The Low voltage Directive 73/23/EEC embodies a number of principles:
• Only electrical equipment that does not jeopardize the safety of people, domestic animals and property,
is permitted on the market
• Only electrical equipment, that satisfies the CE marking requirements of the LVD, is in compliance
• Electrical equipment is not required to be tested or marked for approval by an independent third party
• Enforcement is the responsibility of each member state within its national jurisdiction
• The regulations apply to all electrical equipment, except where extensions apply, that is designed for use between 50 and
1000 volts ac or 75 and 1500 volts dc
• Only components, which are in themselves “electrical equipment” need satisfy the Low Voltage Directive
Cable glands are not in themselves “electrical equipment” and therefore do not fall within the scope
of the LVD.
Certification / Listing / Approvals
Electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is usually certified, listed or approved by a recognized
Certification Body or Test House. In Europe, there are numerous Certification Bodies such as BASEEFA 2001 Limited and
SIRA in the UK. In North America, there are many recognized Certification Bodies and testing laboratories such as UL, FM
and the CSA. The definition of “Approved” by the NEC is “Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction”. The definition
“Listed” by the NEC is “Equipment, materials or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable
to the authority having jurisdiction.” Further information is given in the NEC.

CE Marking and the 94/9EC Atex Directive
Mandatory within the European Union
CE Marking and the 94/9/EC Atex directive on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
‘CE’ marking has been introduced as part of the European Union’s new approach to technical harmonization as a means
of identifying products that comply with all relevant EC Directives.
Subject to certain safeguards, products bearing the CE mark are permitted to be sold throughout the EU without
interference from national regulatory authorities. The Directives have been put in place in order to remove artificial trade
barriers within the European Union previously caused by individual countries' national standards, a secondary function
is as a means of regulatory safety.
The Explosive Atmospheres 94/9/EC ATEX (Equipment) Directive became mandatory on 1 July 2003.
On this date, the existing Explosive Atmospheres and Gassy Mines Directives were repealed. Since then, only equipment
and systems CE marked as compliant with the ATEX Equipment Directive (and all other relevant mandatory directives)
may placed on the market within the EU.
The Directive applies to all equipment and systems for use in potentially explosive atmospheres within the EU. The scope
of the Directive includes electrical and mechanical equipment for use in Group I (mining) or Group II (industrial)
applications, both on and offshore and considers risks of ignition of potentially explosive gas, vapor, mist and dust
atmospheres. IN addition, devices intended for use outside potentially explosive atmospheres that contribute to the safe
functioning of equipment and systems with regard to explosion risk are also included.
Compliance of products to the ATEX Equipment Directive, through conformity assessment, takes a modular approach
and is generally in two stages: design and production.
A common route to product design compliance is to apply to a Notified Body (EX. Test House) for an EC Type Examination
Certificate. To comply, the equipment or system must meet the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) listed
in the Directive. Harmonized EU standards have been adopted by CENELEC and CEN, relating to the design, construction
and testing of equipment; a product complying with these standards is deemed to meet the EHSRs to which the standards
relate. Where apparatus follows a protection concept not covered by these standards, compliance to the 94/9/EC
Directive is still possible by compiling a ‘Technical File’ from first principles, demonstrating compliance through test and
assessment to the EHSRs relating to design and construction of equipment for use in explosive atmospheres.
The production quality stage of the conformity assessment procedures ensure continued product compliance in
manufacturing. Typically a manufacturer should have a certified ISO 9000 quality management system and comply with
one of the quality modules in ATEX Equipment Directive, however this will vary depending on product equipment category;
equipment used in higher risk areas will require more onerous conformity assessment procedures to be applied.
In addition to the 94/9/EC ATEX (Equipment) Directive, products for use in potentially explosive atmospheres may
require to be compliant with other Directives including the 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive,
which became mandatory on 1/1/96. This Directive applies to virtually all electrical and electronic apparati potentially
able to generate interfering emissions or exhibit an undue sensitivity to interference sources.

Wattage Dissipation Calculations Against Ambient Temperatures
To select the shell size of the connector, it is essential that you calculate the dissipated wattage of the arrangement. This ensures
that the arrangement does not exceed the maximum permitted temperature classification with regard to the upper ambient
temperature for the area of installation.
Refer to Table 1 on the following page for the maximum allowable dissipated wattage per connector size and use the
calculations below to determine safe and proper working environment around electrical contacts.

Calculation
Equation Definitions:
I = The current requirements per contact in amperes (NOTE: This must be equal to or less than the
maximum current rating of the contact, as shown in 'table 2' on the following page)
R = The contact resistance in ohms (see 'table 2' on the following page where 1 m7 = 1x10-37)
Values relevant to these definitions must then be input into the following equation to calculate the dissipated
wattage (W) of your chosen arrangement:
W = N x I2 x R
NOTE: The results must be lower than the maximum figure shown in table 1 for the appropriate temperature
