Electrical connectivity EX ATEX
A first step towards creating an international standard for industrial plugs and receptacles was taken with the IEC 60309 and CEE Publication 17, “Requirements for Plugs and Receptacles for Industrial Use”. “IEC” stands for “INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL COMMISSION”.
When selecting plugs and receptacles from the existing ranges for standardization, preference was given to round plugs and receptacles, as the contact-making insert can be arranged in various positions (hours of day). This allows a high degree of differentiation of plugs and receptacles with regard to the various types of currents, voltages, frequencies, etc.

Plugs and Receptacles Plastic Version
CEAG plugs and receptacles are not only robust, they are also very reliable. In the “normal” industrial environment plugs and receptacles are exposed to similar conditions (chemical and mechanical) as their explosion-protected counterparts. With the introduction of the plug and receptacle generation Crouse-Hinds has now a complete program for industrial usage.
Ex-Repair and Maintenance Receptacles 16 A up to 63 A
For maintenance, repair and upgrading work, appliances such as drills, welding transformers, hand grinders and such are needed but are not in accordance to the explosion-protection regulations. To be able to use these appliances in the Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 or Zone 22 explosion-protected areas a hot work permit has to be issued. For the duration of the repair or maintenance work, the environment has to be free of all explosive hazardous atmospheres.
Ex-Repair and Maintenance Receptacle Distribution 40 A and 80 A
For maintenance, repair and upgrading work, appliances such as drills, welding transformers, hand grinders and such are needed but are not in accordance to the explosion-protection regulations. To be able to use these appliances in the Zone 1 or Zone 2 explosion-protected areas a hot work permit has to be issued. For the duration of the repair or maintenance work, the environment has to be free of all explosive hazardous atmospheres.
Ex-Portable Multi-Outlet Distributions and Cable Reels
Electrical equipment, such as pumps, scales, etc. can be used flexibly in areas of Zone 1 and Zone 2 that are at risk of explosions, they can be safely supplied with energy by means of portable CEAG multi-outlet distribution units or cable reels. The multi-outlet distribution units are equipped with flange-mounting socket outlets that even comply with the high degree of protection IP66 when they are plugged in. This means that this distribution units are also suitable for use in the harshest industrial conditions.
Ex-Protected Portable Power Supply Units
Special requirements apply for power distributions for the use and operation of portable equipment in hazardous areas in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. It is necessary to ensure that any external mechanical influences are effectively kept away from the equipment. CEAG explosion-protected power distributions fulfil these high mechanical explosion protection requirements by means of a high-strength protective framework made of stainless steel (1.4301) and enclosures that have been specially developed for this purpose.
Fl-Ex Power Cords
Non-stationary electrical apparatus have generally high requirements on the energy/power supply. Robust plugs and receptacles as well as a high chemical resistance are at the first glance very important. Electrical reliability is a must not only for all connectivity products. A high safety standard, a steady hold and faultless contacting even under vibration or the effects of an aggressive atmospheric environment are the basis for a secure and reliable utilisation. CEAG plugs and receptacles offer more, apart from the proven technology, this product series is defined by its innovative details. For example, the very efficient cable strain relief or the new coding system of the various versions offers different solutions for a secure and problem free utilization in all areas.
