Zone 2 ATEX Panels for customer in the Arab Emirates

ATEX Panels and ATEX Zones

The ATEX panels are electrical panels complying with the rules of the European Directive 2014/34/EU on protective equipment and systems intended to be used in explosive atmospheres.

Some of the characteristics of the ATEX penals are:

1. Safety in hazardous areas: ATEX panels are designed to be used in dangerous areas where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of gases, vapours, flammable liquids, combustible powders, among others.
2. High-quality materials: ATEX panels are built with corrosion and abrasion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum, and are designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions.
3. Explosion protection: ATEX panels feature protective and safety devices that prevent the spread of explosions and minimize damage in the event of an explosion.
4. Certification and marking: ATEX panels must be certified and marked with the classification of the area in which they can be used, as well as with the safety regulations and standards they meet.
5. Compatibility with different applications: ATEX boxes are compatible with a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential applications where there is a risk of explosion.
6. Maintenance and revision: ATEX panels require regular maintenance and review by trained and qualified personnel to ensure their proper functioning and safety.

The European legislation regulating the use of equipment and systems in explosive atmospheres defines ATEX zones in two types:

1. ATEX zones for gases and vapours:

• Zone 0: It is an area where an explosive atmosphere is expected to be present for long periods of time or frequently.
• Zone 1: It is an area where an explosive atmosphere is expected to be present occasionally under normal conditions.
• Zone 2: It is an area where an explosive atmosphere is expected to be not normally present, or only for a short period of time, or rarely.

2. ATEX powder zones:

• Zone 20: It is an area where an explosive cloud of combustible dust is expected to be present for long periods of time or frequently.
• Zone 21: It is an area where an explosive cloud of combustible dust is expected to be present occasionally under normal conditions.
• Zone 22: It is an area where an explosive cloud of combustible dust is expected to be not present normally, or only for a short period of time, or rarely.
