Explosion Proof Panels
In environments where a single spark means catastrophe from offshore rigs and chemical plants to fuel depots your electrical infrastructure demands the ultimate defense. Our Explosion Proof Solutions are the shield against the unseen threat. Utilizing certified technologies like Ex d (Flameproof Enclosures) and Ex i (Intrinsic Safety), We eliminate ignition sources, contain potential blasts, and ensure compliance with stringent ATEX and IECEx standards.
Don’t compromise safety for performance; choose the robust, field-proven protection that keeps your critical assets running and your personnel safe, even in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
- Ex Power Distribution Panels
They are engineered for safe and reliable power distribution in hazardous and classified locations. Designed and certified to IECEx, ATEX, and NEC 500/505 standards, these panels feature flameproof or pressurized enclosures that prevent ignition of surrounding explosive atmospheres. Ideal for oil & gas, petrochemical, and offshore installations where uninterrupted power distribution is mission critical. - Ex Proof VFD Panels
Our Solution provide precise motor speed control in Zone 1, Zone 2, and Division 1 & 2 hazardous areas. Built with certified Ex d (flameproof) or Ex p (purged & pressurized) enclosures, these panels integrate leading-brand VFDs to deliver energy efficiency and process optimization while maintaining full compliance with international hazardous area standards. - Ex PLC Panels
We deliver advanced process automation and control in explosive and flammable atmospheres. Housed in robust certified enclosures, these panels support ATEX/IECEx-rated PLC systems for real-time monitoring, logic control, and communication in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore platforms, ensuring operational safety without compromising performance. - Ex DOL Starters
Our Explosion-Proof Direct Online Starters offer a safe, simple, and cost-effective solution for fixed-speed motor starting in hazardous classified areas. Manufactured to meet ATEX, IECEx, and NEC standards, these starters are housed in flameproof enclosures and are suitable for pumps, compressors, and fans operating in Zone 1/2 and Division 1/2 environments. - Ex Switch Racks (MCC / PCC)
These are purpose-built for centralized motor and power management in hazardous locations. These switch racks are engineered to accommodate withdrawable or fixed modules, offering scalability, ease of maintenance, and full compliance with IEC and NEC hazardous area classifications. - Ex Proof Junction Boxes
Our certified Explosion-Proof Junction Boxes provide a secure and reliable termination and cable routing solution in hazardous environments. Constructed from GRP, stainless steel, or cast aluminum with certified Ex d or Ex e protection, these junction boxes are available in a wide range of sizes and entry configurations to suit diverse installation requirements across oil & gas, marine, and chemical processing industries. - Ex Proof Local Control Stations
Explosion-Proof LCS enable safe on-site operation and control of motors and equipment in Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, and Division 2 hazardous areas. Featuring pushbuttons, selector switches, emergency stops, and pilot indicators within ATEX/IECEx-certified enclosures, these stations are ruggedly designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while ensuring personnel and plant safety. - Ex Purging Panels
Our Ex Purging and Pressurization Panels (Ex p) utilize the Type X, Y, or Z purging technique to protect electrical equipment installed in hazardous areas by maintaining a positive internal pressure with an inert gas or clean air supply. Certified to IEC 60079-2, ATEX, and NEC 496 standards, Team Switchgear’s purging panels are widely used to house standard (non-Ex rated) equipment safely in classified environments, reducing costs without compromising safety. - Ex Proof Terminal Boxes
Our Explosion-Proof Terminal Boxes are engineered to provide safe and secure electrical termination solutions in hazardous and classified locations.
Classification of Hazardous Area
Classification of hazardous areas for gases and vapours is as follows:
– Zone 0: An area where an explosive atmosphere, consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour, or mist, is present continuously, for long periods, or frequently.
– Zone 1: An area where an explosive atmosphere, consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour, or mist, is likely to occur occasionally under normal operating conditions.
– Zone 2: An area where an explosive atmosphere, consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour, or mist, is not likely to occur in normal operations; however, if it does occur, it will persist for only a short duration.
For dusts, the classifications are as follows:
– Zone 20: An area where an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air, is present continuously, for long periods, or frequently.
– Zone 21: An area where an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air, is likely to occur occasionally under normal operating conditions.
– Zone 22: An area where an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air, is not likely to occur in normal operations; however, if it does occur, it will persist for only a short duration.
IEC 60079-10-1 provides a similar classification for gases and vapours, which is applicable to facilities constructed in accordance with the US standard NEC 505. IEC 60079-10-2 offers guidance for zone classification concerning dusts and is also applicable to facilities constructed in accordance with the US standard NEC 506.
Potentially explosive atmospheres are classified based on the frequency and duration of their occurrence. This classification outlines the necessary measures to be implemented in accordance with Annex II, Section A of Directive 1999/92/EC, in conjunction with equipment categories outlined in Annex I of Directive 2014/34/EU.
In workplaces, potentially explosive atmospheres are typically classified at most as Zone 1 or Zone 2, and Zone 21 or Zone 22. Zones 0 and 20 are generally limited to very small, inaccessible areas within workplaces or are predominantly confined to the interior of technical equipment.
