It is essential, for proper functionality and to ensure flame / explosion non-propagation, the correct installation of sealing devices next to the equipment to be protected, as clearly indicated in paragraph 13. 3 of EN 60079-1 / IEC 60079-1, where we can read "the distance. Our sealing modules have removable layers enabling a perfect fit to cables and pipes of different sizes. Just peel off layers until the module fits. One area efficient Roxtec seal can replace up to 32 traditional cable glands. The built in spare capacity makes it easy to open up the seal and change. Cable Sealing: Inlet and outlet cables must pass through rubber sealing rings, tightened with washers and compression nuts to ensure the integrity of the explosion-proof enclosure's seal. Such environments require electrical equipment that has specific construction features to stop explosions, which generate harmful risks to people while. Choosing how cables enter an explosion-proof distribution box is one of those decisions that looks straightforward on paper but gets complicated fast once you factor in the actual site conditions. Cable glands and conduit systems both do the job—sealing the enclosure, protecting the cable. Douglas Electrical Components offers an extensive range of explosion-proof wire and cable seals for simplified engineering in hazardous locations. Our wire and cable seals, commonly referred to as line bushings, offer unique design features that enhance efficiency and reliability of your.
