neutral  John Jory: Explosion protection is the general term and includes several types of protection. One of them is explosion-proofing, whereby an internal explosion is permitted in the device, but is contained by the enclosure.

Was hab ich mit Günther? Kaffee getrunken? Stimmt... Ja, ich gebe zu, dass ich mir die Niedertemperaturkaffeemaschine aus den Fingern gesogen habe. Aber Ex-Schutz für eine normale Kaffeemaschine wäre ziemlich schwierig...

agree  Robin Ward: Ich hoffe, meine Niedertemperaturkaffe*e*maschine ist ausreichend explosionsgeschützt (bin total abhängig von ihr zum Überleben!).
14 mins
agree  Steffen Walter: Aber Kaffe* klingt doch zugegebenermaßen *etwas* prollich, oder nich ;-))
20 mins
agree  Guenther Danzer: ich hab zwar 'nen nicht ex-geschützten Espressokocher, der mit schon die ganze Herdplatte versaut hat, aber "Niedertemperatur" und "exgeschützt" hört sich gut an ;-)
