FAQs
For hazardous-location installations, plan around 316L stainless steel protection, IP66/NEMA 4X ingress protection, and IECEx/ATEX/NEC/CEC compliance. Ensure solid mounting for the enclosure using horizontal lugs and align gland entries with the three gland plates to simplify cable routing. Verify ambient conditions and seal correctness per local standards and use approved Ex accessories to maintain certification.
IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications provide regulatory continuity across Europe, North America, and other regions, enabling a single Ex-CELL enclosure family to serve multiple sites. This reduces supplier diversification, streamlines documentation, and lowers risk of non-compliance when deploying equipment in hazardous locations.
Yes. The enclosure is rated for up to 690 Vac/Vdc, making it suitable for high-voltage distribution and motor control circuits in hazardous locations. Combined with IP66/NEMA 4X protection and 316L stainless steel construction, it supports safe, reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Common deployments include chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and offshore facilities. Its corrosion resistance, hazardous-location certifications, and robust ingress protection make it a preferred choice for process plants, refineries, and remote facilities that require durable, compliant enclosures for critical electrical gear.
