56 ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • Rittal Enclosure systems in Europe and North America must strictly adhere to multiple safety requirements and standards to protect people and technology from possible explosions and fires. Enclosures used in hazardous areas that house a variety of equipment or components must have ATEX, IECEx or UL HazLoc approvals. These standards specify far higher demands for products to limit the greater risks in their application areas. Rittal’s new AX Ex empty enclosures made of glass reinforced polyester, which replace the previous KSbased enclosures, adhere In areas at risk of explosion, enclosure systems must meet the highest safety requirements. Such fields include petrochemicals, refineries, oil platforms, filling stations or infrastructure areas involving LNG and now – increasingly – hydrogen. These safety requirements include ATEX, IECEx and UL HazLoc approvals. Rittal’s new AX plastic Ex enclosures offer this certified safety. Furthermore, thanks to their high level of robustness, outdoor capability and wide range of expansion options, both plant operators and constructors gain a massive amount of added value. More than explosion protection to these requirements. They are approved for use cases in potentially explosive atmospheres caused by gases (zones 1 and 2) or dust (zones 21 and 22). The result is an enclosure technology that ful ls all the preconditions for maximum safety and robustness, including for In areas at risk of explosion, enclosure systems must meet the highest safety requirements. Such fields include petrochemicals, refineries, oil platforms, filling stations or infrastructure areas involving LNG and now – increasingly – hydrogen. These safety requirements include ATEX, IECEx and UL HazLoc approvals. Rittal’s new AX plastic Ex enclosures offer this certified safety.
