These flame-paths, therefore, must remain free from any obstructions and, consequently, the housing cannot be deemed to be water-proof. Very often, the explosion-proof equipment is confused with water-proof equipment, even in technical environments. This comes from the incorrect belief that it's possible to avoid an explosion preventing an explosive atmosphere to get in touch with the ignition source (spark, arc or hot spot). Unlike standard distribution boxes that could become shrapnel shards in volatile environments, explosion-proof containers are engineered fortresses that absorb, contain, and vent catastrophic blasts without becoming fragmentation bombs themselves. Ex Industries (exindustries) is a global supplier of advanced hazardous area solutions, offering a wide portfolio of certified products including explosion proof electrical boxes, explosion proof junction boxes, explosion proof lighting, intrinsically safe barrier systems, explosion proof cables. They house critical components like circuit breakers, relays, and surge protectors in.
