Explosion protection

The chemical and petrochemical industries involve industrial processes which produce explosive atmospheres. They are caused, for example, by gases, fumes, or vapors. Explosive atmospheres are also likely to occur in mills, silos, and sugar and fodder factories due to the dust present there. Therefore, electrical devices in potentially explosive areas are subject to special directives, which include the ATEX, IECEx, NEC/CEC, and UL certifications and directives. You will find an overview of the basics of explosion protection here.
