Containing sparks and ignitions is one of the safest (and perhaps the most effective) way to prevent deadly explosions in hazardous locations.
This practice is based on the explosion containment concept: equipment (switches, controls, transformers and more) inside an explosion proof enclosure can’t come in contact with unstable/flammable substances lingering outside of the box – resulting in safe operation.
In the event equipment inside an explosion proof enclosure creates sparks, fires or blows up, it is all contained inside the unit or junction box, away from workers, combustible gases and other flammable hazards.
These reliable enclosures are suitable for any business that operates in classified, hazardous locations. Variants that offer weatherproof protection (Type 3R, Type 4 and Type 4X – just to name a few) may be used outdoors to protect sensitive equipment and electrical components from getting damaged by extreme weather conditions.
The units also provide an extra layer of security against tampering (when secured with a lock) and streamline compliance with complex regulations for industrial equipment.
Larson Electronics offers a variety of explosion proof enclosures and junction boxes for hazardous environments. For specific project requirements, we offer custom sizes, builds, factory taps, mounting features, hubs and more!
