Ex-d Built-in Components GHG 61

Flameproof encapsulation up to 40 A

If arcing or sparking electrical apparatus are used in hazardous areas, i.e. potentially explosive atmospheres, they must be protected according to EN 60079 pp by special constructional measures. The Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds explosion protected apparatus, such as the modules in Ex-e distributions, derives its high degree of safety through the combination of various types of protection. Thus, flameproof encapsulated components (Ex-d), for instance, are also integrated in enclosures of the type “Increased Safety” (Ex-e).

Description

Safety easy to install

If electrical apparatus is to be used in hazardous areas, i.e. potentially explosive atmospheres, where arcing or sparking can occur, it must be protected according to EN 60079 pp by special constructional measures. Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Business explosion-protected apparatus, such as the modules in Ex-e distributions, derives its high degree of safety through the combination of various types of protection.

Thus, flameproof encapsulated components (Ex-d), for instance, are also integrated in enclosures of the type “Increased Safety” (Ex-e). As these components are of modular design, they can be combined according to customers’ requirements. Five enclosure sizes provide enough space for whatever modules are required: MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs contactors, motor starters, over-current trips, star-delta time relays or main switches. Protected by a transparent flap, all modules can be conveniently monitored and operated.

The modules are inserted in the distribution by simple snap-on rail mounting. Thus, modules can be replaced or added quickly and reliably. That makes servicing and extension work simpler and faster – and thus more cost efficient.

We’ve also provided for your personal safety: MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs and power circuit breakers can be equipped with a lock in the OFF position. That protects you during your work on the system against inadvertent switching on – better safe than sorry!
