Explosion Proof Cable Gland
Explosion Proof Cable Gland
The current international regulations for machine manufacturers (94/9/EC) and operators
(99/92/EC) prescribe high safety levels. Therefore, in addition to the traditional field of
electrical engineering, legally compliant explosion protection also considers all relevant
mechanical components - in order to avoid all ignition sources, including sparks, which can
result from electrostatic charges, or hot spots. The ATEX – IECEx Directive besides taking into
account the electrical sources of explosion, also considers potentially explosive concentration
of gas, vapour or mist along with dust in the air.
Explosion protection - the danger zones: According to their risk potential explosion-prone
rooms and equipment interiors are divided into zones. For gases, vapours and fogs the zone
designations are 0, 1 and 2, for combustible dust they are 20, 21 and 22. Category 1
equipment is safe even in case of rare equipment malfunctions and may be used in zone 0/20.
Category 2 equipment must be designed so that safety is assured even in case of expected
malfunctions and may be used in zone 1/21. Equipment in protection category 3 is safe in
normal operations and suitable for zone 2/22.
The use of ATEX cable glands is one of several technical measures to make ignition sources
ineffective. The explosion rating plate of a piece of equipment includes the ignition protection
type. Versions for increased safety, inherent safety and pressure-resistant enclosure are of
particular significance in this context:
The Controlwell ATEX explosion protection system features high-grade materials. The use of
plastics, nickel-plated brass and bright brass guarantees maximum safety.

Ventilation Plugs are used for equalizing the pressure inside and
outside the enclosure. The same is achieved with the help of a
membrane inside the ventilation plug, which allows for gases
(air) to pass through it while blocking liquids and particulate
solids (dust).
Applications / Benefits :
1) These prevent components inside the enclosure from being
exposed to pressurized gases when the enclosure heats up.
(By virtue of pressure equalization)
E X P L O S I O N P R O O F V E N T I L AT I O N P L U G S
2) These also prevent generation of vacuum inside
the enclosure when a heated enclosure cools off.
(e.g. In luminaires)
3) These help maintain IP 68 rating of the enclosure while
allowing for the above benefits.
