Hoje, we’ll continue our exploration of industrial illumination, focusing on explosion-proof lighting fixtures.
Categorization
Explosion-proof lights vary based on the protective measures employed. These range from flameproof, maior segurança, segurança intrínseca, pressurizado, encapsulado, imerso em óleo, purged, type n, to special types. In this session, we’ll delve into the widely utilized flameproof and maior segurança categories.
Tipo à prova de chamas
Indicated by the letter “d,” anti chama type entails housing components that may produce sparks or arcs during regular operation within a robust explosion-proof enclosure. This casing withstands the pressure of internal explosions without damage, ensuring that flames and gases passing through its gaps lose energy, thereby avoiding ignition of external gases.
Tipo de segurança aumentado
Marked by the letter “e,” the increased safety type ensures that the equipment does not create sparks or arcs under normal conditions. Its design is further fortified for safety, enhancing the overall reliability and security of the equipment.
