Hazardous area safety
Design, supply and installation of electrical, instrumentation and control systems for areas with flammable gas, vapour or dust – ATEX/IECEx compliant.
Overview
Equipment and systems in explosive atmospheres must be designed, selected and installed with the right protection concept. VTL supports you from area classification and equipment selection to installation and inspection.
What VTL provides
- Area classification and protection concept selection (Ex d, Ex e, Ex i…)
- Eaton Crouse-Hinds explosion-proof lighting, control stations, junction boxes and cable glands
- Eaton MTL intrinsic safety isolators, fieldbus barriers and IS Ethernet
- GECMA hazardous-area PCs, HMIs and tablets
- Inspection and maintenance of Ex equipment to IEC 60079-17
