Compact Ex-d enclosures for control and terminal boxes
This company’s ATEX- and IECEx-certified empty housings (photo), with explosion protection type Ex d, enable highly flexible structuring of terminal and control boxes. The enclosures are suitable for applications in Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22, for both gas- and dust-hazardous environments. Series 8250 includes cost-effective housings with sizes from 250 × 150 × 110 mm up to 540 × 360 × 300 mm. Made of seawater-resistant aluminum, the enclosures are corrosion resistant, reliable and durable. Thanks to their innovative design, these housings weigh almost 15% less than other Ex d enclosures on the market, says the company. They are universally applicable as terminal boxes, as machine- or motor-control units or as distribution boxes. The enclosures can be individually equipped with operating elements and signaling devices. Flameproof cable glands of Ex d type protection are available for direct cable entry into the enclosures. With IP66 degree of protection and a wide temperature range from –60 to 70°C (on request, up to +130°C), the enclosures are suitable for worldwide use in industries such as machine building, offshore applications, chemical, pharmaceutical and others where explosion-protected equipment are mandated to comply with international standards.— R.
