In order to guarantee safety in hazardous areas, all possible sources of ignition must be eliminated, or flammable gases must be kept away from potential sources of ignition. Transportation, energy, and process industries can have requirements for enclosures designed with electrical components (the ignition source) into environments where flammable/explosive liquids, gases or dust can potentially be present.
Weidmüller can supply custom built enclosures based on end user requirements and the company’s tailored assembly services can supply enclosures pre-assembled with terminals and cable glands. This is a service that can save both time and money whilst still complying with all regulations.
Most importantly, the correct enclosure must be used in the correct zone in order to minimise the chance of explosion. Weidmüller’s Klippon K series can be used for a variety of applications such as for mounting terminals, switches, power supplies, operational and display elements or electronic sub-assemblies.
Also, the Klippon TBF Series (pictured), which is made from glass fibre reinforced polyester, provides a solution for housing a variety of components such as regulators, measuring instruments, valves, etc.
