Product catalog summary

Overview: This document outlines various types of protection for electrical and non-electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres. It includes specifications, standards, and applications for each protection type, ensuring safety in hazardous environments.

Types of Protection for Electrical Equipment:

Increased Safety (e, eb, ec): Used in junction boxes, control stations, and motors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-7.
Flameproof Enclosures (da, d, db, dc): Applied in switchgears, control systems, and motors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-1.
Pressurized Enclosures (px, pxb, py, pyb, pz, pzc): Suitable for switchgear and control cabinets. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-2.
Intrinsic Safety (ia, ib, ic): Used in instrumentation and sensors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-11.
Liquid Immersion (o, ob, oc): For transformers and resistors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-6.
Powder Filling (q, qb): Applied in sensors and transmitters. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-5.
Encapsulation (ma, mb, mc): Used in control units and sensors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-18.
Protection by Enclosures (ta, tb, tc): For switchgear and motors. Standards: IEC/EN/UL 60079-31.

Types of Protection for Non-Electrical Equipment:

Constructional Safety (c): For couplings and gear drives. Standard: EN 13463-5.
Flameproof Enclosures (d): Used in brakes and couplings. Standard: EN 13463-3.
Pressurization (p): Applied in pumps. Standard: EN 60079-2.
Control of Ignition Sources (b): For pumps and belt drives. Standard: EN 13463-6.
Liquid Immersion (k): Used in submerged pumps. Standard: EN 13463-8.
Flow Restricting Enclosure (fr): For equipment in Zone 2 or 22. Standard: EN 13463-2.

Temperature Classification: Equipment is classified based on maximum surface temperature, with specific temperature classes (T1 to T6) indicating the maximum allowable surface temperature.

Standards and Regulations: The document references various international standards such as IEC, EN, and UL, and regulations like ATEX, IECEx, and NEC for explosion protection in different regions.

Conclusion: R. STAHL provides state-of-the-art explosion protection solutions, ensuring safety in hazardous areas globally. The document emphasizes the importance of adhering to standards and proper equipment labeling for effective explosion protection.
