INCREASED SAFETY ENCLOSURES » A/G/S*****EX.. SERIES
Components designed to meet the requirements for ON and OFF-SHORE use, in petrochemical and marine applications and for any other industry where an explosive atmosphere may be present.
A/G/S****EX… Series are suitable for equipment for explosive GAS and DUST atmospheres, having a “high” level of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal operation or during expected malfunctions.
Applications such as: junction boxes, local control stations and local control panels for Indoor and Outdoor application.
• Fully customizable for enclosure size and material, number of holes and mechanical machining.

Compliant with:
IEC 60079-0 & EN IEC 60079-0 – Equipment – General requirement
IEC 60079-7 & EN IEC 60079-7 – Equipment protection by increased safety “e”
IEC 60079-31 & EN 60079-31 – Equipment dust ignition protection by enclosure “t”
ENCLOSURES:
- Type of protection Ex eb: It provides an impact resistant enclosure for electrical equipment and ensures that the contents will not produce a spark, temperature or current creepage that could ignite the external flammable atmosphere in a hazardous area zone, location or workspace.
- Type of protection Ex tb: It avoids combustible dust (IIIC) penetration into the enclosure and ensures surface temperature limitation for use in explosive dust atmospheres.
