Tumbler switches for hazardous locations are utilised in locations where there may be flammable vapours, fumes, or highly combustible dusts.
Hazardous places are environments “where fire or explosion dangers may occur due to flammable gases or vapours, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibres or flyings,” according to the National Electrical Code (NEC).
The HCS defines hazard class as the type of physical or health hazard, such as acute toxicity, flammable solids, and carcinogens.
The term “hazard category” refers to how each criteria is divided. Each danger class has four hazard categories, for example, acute toxicity and flammable liquids.
Due to the natural gas being emitted in various plant sections at proportions that could be regarded as a combustible mixture, gas wells, gas processing plants, and gas-fired generators are frequently found in dangerous regions.
The global Hazardous Location Switch market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The limit switches from the EA080 Series, EA060 Series, and EA040 Series are available in an enclosure designed for usage in hazardous environments with the EA880 Series Heavy Duty Limit Switch.
When necessary, a hazardous site enclosure, or a hazardous location plus watertight enclosure, is now available with all the operational capabilities of these robust heavy duty limit switches.
Where potential explosive risks exist in the form of gases, vapours, and dust, the EA880 Series hazardous site limit switches function with dependability. Switch housings made of cast aluminium are corrosion-resistant.
Its sturdy design incorporates an Underwriters Laboratories-listed spark-proof aluminium NEMA type enclosure that can withstand internal and exterior gas explosions.
When used properly at the rated current, voltage, and temperature, this series of limit switches for hazardous locations has a cycle life in the millions.
Standard switches can withstand continuous temperatures between -20°C and +90°C. Additionally, switches can be supplied specifically for LOW temperature requirements (-40°C to +90°C) or HIGH temperature needs (+10°C to +180°C).
