Explosion protection

In technological plants and areas of the chemical and petrochemical industry where gases, vapours, mists or dusts can form explosive mixtures with air, special precautions must be taken to ensure explosion protection. This is done, among other things, by the use of explosion-proof electrotechnical equipment. Various types of ignition protection are defined for this in corresponding guidelines, such as pressurised encapsulation, potting or intrinsic safety.
