hazardous, or explosive atmospheres can be
caused by flammable gases, mists or vapours or
by combustible dusts.
Independently tested for compliance to ATEX
standards for use in Zone 2 and Zone 22
environments, the new EXP series is manufactured
from a tough,high grade UL94V-0 rated Polyester
material and provides environmental sealing to IP68.
The ATEX coding is: Ex II 3 GD and the certificated
no: Baseefa09ATEX0232X.
EXPlora is rated up to 18A, 600Vac/dc for 2, 3, 4
and 5 poles, 16A, 430Vac/dc for 7 pole and 10A,
250Vac/dc for 10 poles. The 3, 4, 5 and 7 pole
versions have leading earth contacts making them
suitable for single or three phase applications.
