Parallel connectors for use in hazardous areas

It is becoming more and more common to install ring equipotential bonding conductors in the hazardous areas of industrial plants

Especially for linking electrical equipment and connecting the ring equipotential bonding.

The parallel connector CU/gal Sn has been tested to be non-sparking up to the designated residual current.

On installation it is fitted with a spring washer under the nut to prevent self-loosening.* It has been tested as Suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheressuitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

  • ex-zones 1 / 2 (gases and explosion group IIC) and
  • ex-zones 21 / 22 (dust)

This parallel connector does not possess any potential source of ignition (mechanical device) and as such does not fall under the European Ex-directive 2014/34/EU. It is therefore suitable for unlimited application in potentially explosive atmospheres.
