New ATEX EExd connector is easy to use
Temporary but safe disconnection of power is critical in many industries: so Hawke have introduced a new series of EExd connectors that are ATEX approved, easy to use and exceptionally robust
The new Australian approval follows testing by International Testing and Certification Services (ITACS), who certify the glands for use with flameproof and increased safety equipment.
Additionally, the Hawke North American cable glands/connectors have been tested and listed by the Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) for use with AExe and AExd apparatus under the the NEC Class and Zone Hazardous Location structure.
This listing supplements Hawke's long established Class and Division approval.
Commenting on the approvals, Michael Connelly of Hawke, said, "The oil, gas and petrochemical industries are truly international so it is vital that our products meet all the required standards.
This gives our customers the confidence that in specifying Hawke equipment they are securing the long-term safety of their machinery and ultimately the process plant itself.".
