When it comes to electrical installations in explosive or high-risk environments, choosing the right components is critical. Hazardous area cable glands are specially designed to ensure the safe passage of electrical cables through enclosures in areas where gas, vapor, or dust could pose a risk. This blog explores what makes these glands essential and why you should only trust ATEX and IECEx certified products.
What Are Hazardous Area Cable Glands?
Cable glands serve as the sealing and termination devices that connect electrical cables to equipment, providing strain relief and environmental protection. In hazardous environments—like oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining facilities—these glands must be capable of containing any explosion originating inside the enclosure, preventing it from igniting the external atmosphere.
Hazardous area cable glands are engineered to meet stringent safety standards such as ATEX (EU) and IECEx (International), ensuring they are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Key Features to Look For
ATEX & IECEx Certification: These marks guarantee that the product has been tested and approved for explosive atmospheres.
Robust Material: Stainless steel or nickel-plated brass is often used for durability and corrosion resistance.
Ingress Protection (IP): High IP ratings (IP66, IP68) ensure protection against dust and water.
Flameproof/Ex d Design: Prevents flame transmission from the enclosure to the external hazardous atmosphere.
