Significance Of Ex Proof & Industrial Lighting Equipments

Explosion proof light

Explosion Proof LightsIt is also known as hazardous location lighting and intrinsically safe lights. The explosion proof lights passes UL safety standards ensuring that it will not explode when used in areas where flammable petrochemical vapors and/or pulverized dust exist and it have the potential to exist in the atmosphere. These lights differ from hazardous area lights and it is defined by the type of conditions to which their safety rating applies. Baliga.com offers extensive range of ex proof lights and some of them are alarm flasher light, well glass luminaire, traffic light, aviation obstruction light, vat light luminaire, emergency light, digital clock and neon aviation obstruction luminaire and even more.

Class 1, division 1 lights are the safest light that can be used in confined areas with exposure to flammable vapors and gases. While the class 1, division 2 are considered as hazardous area lights which are required in grain silos, barges, sugar processing plants, paper mills and coal processing plants.

Usage of Weatherproof Toggle Switch

A switch is an electrical component that breaks the electrical circuit interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. Toggle switch is a class of electrical switches that are activated by a mechanical lever, handle and rocking mechanism. Switches are available in different styles and sizes and they are used in many applications. The FSW 1134 flame proof isolator (10A) is an explosion proof and weather proof toggle switch that is designed to facilitate the mount up to 10 A DP switch. It is designed with special operating parts that ensure firm and reliable toggle action. The FSW series switches are made up of weather proof with neoprene gaskets and therefore, it provides reliable switching action both indoors and outdoors. The explosion proof, weather proof toggle switch is available for single pole and double pole systems.

The various types of toggle switches are used to control power in domestic, commercial and industrial applications for operating various electrical devices and equipments. It is manufactured with a dielectric housing that contains electrical contacts and is fitted with manually operable handle to electrical switch power to external mounted terminals.
