FAQs
This Ex-CELL enclosure ships with three gland plates and a 12x12x8 footprint, enabling clean wiring entry and organized termination for control panels in hazardous locations. The vertical lugs simplify mounting, while the painted mild steel body accepts standard termination practices used in chemical plants and refineries. The design supports easy field modifications without compromising safety.
With NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous rating classifications, XLVPS1212083 ensures regulatory alignment while preventing noncompliant installations. The Class I, Division 2 and Zone 1 designations acknowledge risk scenarios common in chemical processing and petrochemical facilities. The NEMA 4 3S rating provides reliable ingress protection and weather sealing, supporting sustained performance in damp industrial environments and reducing maintenance surprises.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with Zone 1 and Division 2 ratings, making it suitable for chemical processing, refining, and upstream/downstream oil and gas equipment protection. Its rugged painted mild steel construction resists routine factory washdowns, while the three gland entries and vertical lugs accommodate typical control panel layouts and field wiring demands.
Certifications translate into auditable safety and performance criteria. NEC/CEC compliance confirms alignment with national electrical codes, while Class I, Division 2, Zone 1 classifications address hazardous area risk without sacrificing accessibility. The NEMA 4 3S rating assures ingress protection and weather sealing, simplifying facility inspections and supplier qualification processes and reducing the likelihood of costly noncompliance findings.
Investing in Ex-CELL enclosures reduces total cost of ownership by shortening commissioning and eliminating field modifications. The combination of robust protection, faster wiring with gland plates, and standardized mounting minimizes downtime and maintenance intervals. In hazardous installations, this translates to lower risk of equipment damage, fewer regulatory delays, and improved project timelines from design through ongoing operation.
