Explosion-Proof Control Stations and Distribution Panels are an integral part of any automation system operating in hazardous areas (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22). These solutions are delivered pre-assembled, wired, and fully certified, allowing CSC-Automation LLC clients to significantly reduce on-site installation and commissioning time.

Pepperl+Fuchs solutions ensure the safe housing of both power and signal equipment, utilizing various combinations of protection methods.

1. General Control Stations and Distribution Panels

This category encompasses custom-designed cabinets that are functionally adapted to specific process needs. They can include a wide range of components such as switches, ammeters, emergency stop buttons, terminals, and controllers.

• Advantages: Full certification of the entire system as a single product, minimizing risks associated with field assembly.

• Configuration: Available in durable materials: stainless steel, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester (GRP), and aluminum.

2. Distribution Panels and Cabinets (Ex d — Flameproof Enclosure)

The Ex d (Flameproof) method is applied where components that spark or generate heat (e.g., high-power circuit breakers, contactors, frequency converters) need to be housed in highly hazardous areas.

• Principle: The enclosure is designed to withstand the pressure of an internal explosion and prevent the propagation of flame to the outside.

• Application: Power distribution panels, cabinets containing electrical components with a high probability of ignition.

3. Hybrid Panels (Ex de — Combined Protection)

The Ex de solution is one of the most cost-effective and flexible approaches. It combines two methods:

• Ex d (Flameproof Enclosure): Used for housing sparking components (breakers, fuses).

• Ex e (Increased Safety): Used for terminal connections and general internal wiring.

This combination allows for a reduction in the overall weight and size of the panel compared to pure Ex d solutions, as most of the wiring is housed in less bulky and lighter Ex e sections, while maintaining the highest safety level for critical components.
