Cable Glands and Accessories Ex: Ensuring Explosion Protection Integrity

Cable Glands and Accessories (Ex d, Ex e, Ex i): The Foundation of a Safe Connection

Keywords: buy Ex cable glands Ukraine, explosion-proof cable glands Ex d/e, accessories for Ex zones, Pepperl+Fuchs, explosion protection sealing.

Cable Glands and their associated accessories are among the most critical, yet often underestimated, components of explosion-protected infrastructure. They are what ensure the seal and the integrity of the enclosure protection (Ex d, Ex e, Ex i), preventing the ingress of an explosive atmosphere into the housing and the exit of sparks.

We offer a complete range of cable glands and accessories from Pepperl+Fuchs, certified according to the most stringent ATEX and IECEx standards for use in all types of hazardous areas.

Specialized Solutions for Every Protection Method

The selection of a cable gland critically depends on the explosion protection method of the enclosure it connects to:

1. Ex d Cable Glands (Flameproof Enclosure):

   • Function: These glands must be robust enough to withstand the high pressure of an internal explosion. They ensure that any escaping gases cool down to a safe temperature.

   • Construction: Made from metal (brass, stainless steel) and feature specialized seals or potting/sealing compounds for hermetic sealing.

2. Ex e Cable Glands (Increased Safety):

   • Function: The main requirement is to ensure a reliable Ingress Protection (IP) seal and maintain the integrity of the cable insulation.

   • Construction: Often made from polyamide (plastic) or metal. They simplify installation while maintaining a high degree of protection against dust and moisture (IP66/68).

3. Ex i Cable Glands (Intrinsic Safety):

   • Function: These glands are used for connecting intrinsically safe circuits and often feature a blue color or special marking to visually differentiate them from non-safe circuits. They do not affect the intrinsic safety circuit itself but ensure the necessary enclosure protection rating.

Accessories for Explosion-Proof Systems

In addition to cable glands, our range includes:

• Adapters and Reducers: For connecting different gland sizes to standard enclosure openings.

• Stopping Plugs and Clamps: For sealing unused openings and securely fastening cables.

• Marking Elements: Special tags and marking rings for identifying cables and circuits (e.g., for Ex i).
