Ex e certified Terminal Junction Box from Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester Terminal and Junction Boxes (Ex e, Ex i, Ex op) The whole range from small junction boxes to complex, configurable terminal boxes is covered by the series GR, SR, SLS, FXLS, HVB and EA/DA. Enclosure materials include glass fiber reinforced polyester, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Terminal and Junction Boxes (Ex d)

Optimal protection for any installation is achieved by the sturdy flameproof enclosures of the EJB, GUB, and F* series. Materials are aluminum and stainless steel.

Control Units (Ex e)

Several operator elements from a wide choice of control functions can be integrated in the glass fiber reinforced enclosures of the LCP series and the stainless steel housings of the LRS series.

Control Units (Ex d)

The FC series control units are based on Ex d IIC and Ex tD certified enclosures while the FW series control units are Ex d IIB certified. Both series are manufactured from aluminum.

Control Stations (Ex e)

Complex requirements for operation and monitoring are met by the numerous operator elements that can be integrated in a glass fiber reinforced GR.CS* control station or stainless steel variant from the FXLS.CS series, both of whom feature Ex e enclosures. They are complemented by the stainless steel Ex tD interface and control cabinets from our DS series.

Control Stations (Ex d)

Sturdy flameproof control stations can be flexibly equipped with appropriately certified operator elements and used in gas group IIB areas. The EJB series is available in aluminum and stainless steel.

Control and Distribution Panels (Ex d)

Equipment not designed for use in hazardous areas can be safely protected by flameproof enclosures of the EJB, GUB, and F* series. Each solution is designed exactly to user specifications.

Control and Distribution Panels (Ex de)

The combination of flameproof enclosures for equipment protection with Ex e certified control and termination units offers many benefits for installation, maintenance, and upgrades.

Switch Disconnectors and Safety Switches (Ex e)

By utilizing Pepperl+Fuchs' range of Ex e switch disconnectors and safety switches, safe operation of motors, engines, and drives in hazardous areas is ensured. Enclosure materials include stainless steel and glass fiber reinforced polyester.

Switch Disconnectors (Ex d)

With switch disconnectors in types of protection Ex d, Ex tb, and Ex tD you safely disconnect machines and equipment without the need for specially trained staff. Our ranges of switches feature robust aluminum enclosures and support different operating currents, pole numbers, and contact configurations, allowing ideal adaptation to the application requirements. Cable Glands and Accessories Cable Glands and Accessories (Ex d, Ex e, Ex i) Accessories for electrical explosion protection equipment are certified according to the appropriate types of explosion protection. These accessories can be combined with the respective enclosures and devices from the various product series to application-specific tailored systems. Modifications and upgrades at a later stage after commissioning are easily possible, too.

Enclosures (Ex d, Ex e)

A wide range of enclosures in many sizes and materials form the basis for various explosion protection design solutions for any kind of equipment.

Signaling Devices and Other Products (Ex d, Ex e)

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a comprehensive range of high performance signaling products suitable for many industries and applications. These audible, visual and combination devices as well as call points have been certified for use throughout the world in gas and dust explosion-hazardous areas.

Plugs and Sockets

Pepperl+Fuchs’ completely plastic explosion-protected Ex de plugs and sockets can be used in hazardous areas to connect and disconnect circuits safely and easily. The devices meet all the requirements of IEC 60309 and are suitable for use in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 applications.
