What is Explosion Proof Equipment?
Hazardous locations are places where there is risk of fire or explosion hazards occurring due to presence of flammable gases, flammable liquid–produced vapors, combustible liquid–produced vapors, combustible dusts, or ignitable fibers/ flying particles present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive mixtures which may ignite on exposure to extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. In such conditions it is necessary to use specialized equipment which is safe to work in order to minimize the risk of explosion. Even a small spark could lead to such hazardous event.
The explosion-proof rating is assigned on the basis of certain criteria i.e., for an enclosure to be rated as explosion proof it should be able to contain any explosion originating within self and moreover prevent internal sparks from igniting vapors, gases, dust, or fibers in the air surrounding it. Hence, explosion-proof electrical equipment does not essentially mean that it can bear an exterior explosion; rather in most of the cases it is the equipment’s ability to prevent an internal spark or explosion from causing a much larger blast.
What are the major applications for Explosion Proof Equipment?
Explosion proof equipment are majorly used in cable glands, junction boxes and enclosures, lifting systems, lighting systems, material handling systems, panel boards, motor starters, switches & sockets, surveillance and monitoring systems, switchgear, HVAC systems and many other systems.
Explosion Proof Equipment Market
Market Research and Market Trends of Explosion Proof Equipment Ecosystem
Equipment protection level (EPL) is a new factor introduced into the use of explosion proof equipment. This approach, takes factors into account, such as the consequence or impact of an explosion, and the selection of the protection level required is left up to the system designer.
New products and technologies including explosion-proof wireless LAN solutions, explosion proof tablets, explosion proof IP cameras have recently being budding indicate that with the digital technologies making big strides, the same amount of effort is required in making them fit for application in hazardous or explosion prone situations.
There has been an increase in the number of manufacturing plants which have been setup especially in the APAC region in recent times and so has been the concern related to safety of working conditions. To be certified as explosion proof, the enclosure must be strong enough not to fracture or distort under the internal pressures generated in order to contain explosions and prevent propagation.
