Ex Switches
Ex Electrical Switches
Ex electrical switches are electrical switches used in zone1 or zone2 environments. ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) and EN (European Norm) standards establish a set of requirements for the design, manufacture, installation and use of electrical devices used in explosive atmospheres.
ATEX is a set of European Union directives for the safe use of electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres. Exproof electrical switches that comply with these guidelines are approved for use in explosive atmospheres. The ATEX directive specifies the design, manufacturing, testing, certification and labeling requirements for devices used in explosive atmospheres.
EN standards are standards valid in European Union countries for the design, production, installation and use of electrical devices. Exproof electrical switches are designed and produced in accordance with EN 60079-0:2012 and EN 60079-1:2014 standards.
EN 60079-0:2012 specifies general requirements for electrical devices used in explosive atmospheres. This standard specifies requirements for materials, enclosure types, leakage tests, insulation, usage temperatures and other features used in the design and production of Exproof electrical switches.
EN 60079-1:2014 determines the requirements for the classification and certification of electrical devices used in explosive atmospheres. This standard determines the requirements for Ex-proof electrical switches in which explosive environments they can be used, what certifications they must have, what tests must be performed and labeling requirements.
In conclusion, Exproof electrical switches are a special type of electrical switches designed for use in explosive environments and manufactured in accordance with ATEX and EN standards. These switches have features such as special housing types, tightness tests and insulation, and can be used safely in explosive environments.
Ex Limit Switches
Exproof limit switches are electrical devices used in zone1 or zone2 environments. These switches are used to monitor the status of a transaction or process and detect a specific position. Limit switches are a simple, reliable and common device used to monitor the movement of a device or the position of an object.
EN 60079-0:2012 and EN 60079-14:2014 standards determine the design, production and certification requirements for limit switches used in explosive atmospheres.
EN 60079-0:2012 specifies general requirements for electrical devices used in explosive atmospheres. This standard specifies requirements for materials, enclosure types, leakage tests, insulation, usage temperatures and other features used in the design and production of Exproof limit switches.
EN 60079-14:2014 specifies the requirements for the classification and certification of limit switches used in explosive atmospheres. This standard determines the requirements for Exproof limit switches in which explosive environments they can be used, what certifications they must have, what tests must be performed and labeling requirements.
